Short summary
Short summary
In the ultra-oligotrophic Eastern Mediterranean, winter phytoplankton blooms are enhanced by submesoscale horizontal stirring. Satellite data and simulations show these currents transport chlorophyll-rich coastal waters offshore, contributing ~24 % to the seasonal surface chlorophyll increase. This highlights the key role of horizontal processes in bloom dynamics and ecosystem regulation.

Short summary
In this review paper we aim to create an easy-to-navigate map of the field of ocean data, enabling the reader to establish a broad understanding of the ocean data sector, and bridging gaps between different disciplines and levels of familiarity with ocean data. This is done through the concept of the "data ecosystem", which is used to describe the actors, organisations, and infrastructures involved in all aspects of the data value chain.
