Temperature, chlorophyll, oxygen, model-data comparison for pelagic variables near site A. a Temperature (°C), near-surface (−1 m) and near-bottom (−100, −115m). b Surface (−1 m) chlorophyll (mg Chl m⁻³). c Oxygen concentration (mmol m⁻³), near-surface (−1 m) and near-bottom (−100 m). Model site G values are almost identical to A and not shown. Surface values from Cefas SmartBuoy. Bottom values from seabed lander deployments.
