Examine each month’s map to see trends in chlorophyll concentration for the Northern Hemisphere in the Atlantic Ocean. How does the location of the peak chlorophyll change throughout the course of the year? Why does chlorophyll change this way?

Examine the Southern Hemisphere seasonal trend in chlorophyll concentration (Southern, South Pacific, and South Atlantic Oceans). During which months would you predict a large phytoplankton population?

Chlorophyll concentrations are relatively high near the Equatorial region for every month. What does this imply about nutrient availability in the Equatorial region?
