Rapid Fluctuations of the Subsurface Chlorophyll Maximum in Response to Wind Forcing in a Long, Narrow Bay - Supplementary Information

The file “ctd_remedios_tlp.mat” includes data recorded by the CTD during the REMEDIOS-TLP cruise. Specifically it includes the following variables:
- ‘latitude’ and ‘longitude’: in degrees (1x366 rowsxcols each variable).
- ‘chla’: chlorophyll a in μg L-1. Columns are the different profiles, whereas rows are the chlorophyll values averaged every 1 m (142x366).
- ‘date’: YY:MM:DD:hh:mm:ss of each CTD profile (366x6).
- ‘sample’: text variable that associates each profile to its kind of sampling. ‘I01’, ’I02’ and ‘I03’ are the intensive samplings, whereas surveys samplings are named as ‘S01’, ’S02’, ‘S03’ and ‘S04’.
- ‘pres’: pressure (dbar) from surface (0 m) to maximum bottom pressure (142 m).
- ‘sigma’: density-1000 in kg-3. Columns are the different profiles, whereas rows are the density values averaged every 1 m (142x366).
- ‘st’: code of stations sampled during the cruise (1x366).

CTD data recorded with a MSS90 microstructure profiler during the intensive samplings are included in the file “profiler_remedios.mat” and contains the following variables:
- ‘date’: YY:MM:DD:hh:mm:ss of each CTD profile (1658x6).
- ‘dens’: density-1000 in kg-3. Columns correspond to the different profiles, whereas rows are the density values averaged every 1 m (45x1658).
- ‘fluo’: fluorescence profiles. Columns correspond to the different profiles, whereas rows are the fluorescence values averaged every 1 m (45x1658).
- ‘T’: temperature in oC. Columns correspond to the different profiles, whereas rows are the temperature values averaged every 1 m (45x1658).

Nitrate data measured during the intensive samplings are included in the file ‘nitrate.mat’ and it includes the following variables:
- ‘cruise’: code of the intensive sampling. 1 corresponds to intensive I01, 2 to I02 and 3 to I03 (134x1).
- ‘date’: YY:MM:DD:hh:mm:ss of each CTD profile (134x6).
- ‘pres’: pressure (dbar) in m (134x1).
- ‘NO3’: nitrate values in μM. Values are displayed in an unique column and are associated to the variables ‘date’ and ‘pres’ (134x1).
