Zonally asymmetric phytoplankton response to the Southern annular mode in the marginal sea of the Southern ocean

Abstract Antarctic marine biological variability modulates climate systems via the biological pump. However, the knowledge of biological response in the Southern Ocean to climate variability still has been lack of understanding owing to limited ocean color data in the high latitude region. We invest...
