1. Figure 1: Top) Ln(Chl) anomaly (units are % difference from monthly mean) and Bottom) SST anomaly for 2010 (units are C). Anomalies are calculated from the long-term record. 2010 is really Dec 1, 2009 to Nov 30, 2010. SeaWiFS ceased operating on Dec. 14, 2010.

2. SST<15C (NH) SST >15C SST<15C (SH) Figure 2: Time series of log(Chl) (Green) and SST (Blue) for ocean regions delineated by mean SST values > or < than 15C. Values are standardized (unit variance and zero mean)

3. Figure 3: Top) Spatial distribution of the correlation coefficient (R) between log(Chl) and MEI and Bottom) the time trend in log(Chl) over the entire SeaWiFS record. Only significant (95% c.i.) correlations and trends are plotted. SeaWiFS operated from Oct. 1997 to Dec. 2010.
