Mean and standard deviations of the environmental variables for each biogeochemical subprovince defined by the 5% threshold of the classical, mesoscale, and full multivariate arrays over the 101 months of the data set, including sea surface temperature (SST, °C), chlorophyll-<i>a</i> concentration

Mean and standard deviations of the environmental variables for each biogeochemical subprovince defined by the 5% threshold of the classical, mesoscale, and full multivariate arrays over the 101 months of the data set, including sea surface temperature (SST, °C), chlorophyll-a concentration (chl; mg m−3), finite-sized Lyapunov exponents (FSLE; s−1), the Okubo-Weiss parameter (OW; s−2), eddy kinetic energy (EKE; cm2 s−2), and SST and chl frontal gradients (SSTgrad; °C km−1, and chlgrad; mg m−3 km−1, respectively).
