CMIP6 biogeochemical models under-represent the deep chlorophyll maximum and diverge in how they express it: a regime-stratified BGC-Argo evaluation in the North Pacific

Abstract. Surface chlorophyll, the variable most directly linked to satellite ocean colour, is widely used to evaluate marine biogeochemical models, yet it cannot by itself reveal how chlorophyll is distributed through the water column. Using Biogeochemical-Argo (BGC-Argo) chloro...
