Short summary
The annual widespread growth of phytoplankton blooms across the global ocean has far-reaching impacts on food security, ecosystem health, and climate. This study uses satellite-derived observations to generate long-term, sustained indices of phytoplankton phenology, capturing the timing, variability, and magnitude of blooms across the global ocean. These indices support the effective monitoring and management of marine resources and help assess the impacts of climate change on ocean ecosystems.
