Overview

Randomized trial reveals significant intraseasonal variability of surface chlorophyll-a in the far Western Tropical Pacific, indicating the need for improved ecosystem modeling.

Key Points

  • To assess the impact of intraseasonal variability on surface chlorophyll-a concentrations in the far Western Tropical Pacific.
  • Analyzed surface chlorophyll fluctuations
  • Examined the role of the Madden-Julian Oscillation as a key driver
  • Investigated three mechanisms of MJO influence on chlorophyll concentration.
  • Intraseasonal variability accounts for over 30% of surface chlorophyll fluctuations.
  • MJO positively influences nutrient mixing through enhanced vertical mixing and nitrogen deposition.
  • Negative MJO phases contribute to the horizontal advection of nutrient-rich waters.
