Description
Summary:The QcoD values of phytoplankton chemotaxnomy (a) stn. A01 in the Oyashio, (b) stn. C3400 in the Kuroshio, (c) stn. N4 in the Okhotsk Sea, and (d) stn. SI09 in the Sea of Japan (JS). The solid black vertical line represents the threshold of high heterogeneity (mean ± 2 sd of QcoD) of the vertical profiles.
