Variable physical conditions such as vertical turbulent exchange, internal wave and mesoscale eddy action, affect the availability of light and nutrients for phytoplankton (unicellular algae) growth. It is hypothesized that changes in ocean temperature may affect ocean vertical density stratificatio...
