ULW: Correlations between the concentrations in the SML and the ULW. All other columns: Correlations between the concentrations of the specific parameter in the SML and ULW combined with abiotic factors such as global radiation, wind speed, surface temperature and surface chlorophyll a concentrations. All correlations shown are presented as rho-values and were calculated using Spearman correlation and have a p-value < 0.05 (n = 11).
