Mechanism for the asymmetric chlorophyll response in fine-scale eddies and net effect induced by this asymmetry.

Caption

Column A illustrates the mechanism of the asymmetric chlorophyll response to fine-scale eddies, showing from top to bottom: the effect of horizontal advection, the effect of vertical motion, the combined net effect, and the observed eddy chlorophyll anomaly. Column B presents the curve of net effect changing with eddy amplitude and global distribution of the net effect induced by fine-scale eddies.
