Vertical profiles of N/P ratios (a, e, i), N/P ratios vs. N + N concentrations (b, f, j), bSiO2/PN (c, g, k) and the diatom pigment fucoxanthin (d, h, l), in three different water types: non-eddy water (blue color), mature eddy (green color) and decay eddy (red color). The lines of N/P = 16 and Si/N = 1 are also shown as black solid lines. The dashed black lines are the average lines for those N/P < 16 and N/P > 16. The profiles of fluorescence were also shown with N/P ratios and diatom pigment. Note that the fluorescence scale for mature eddy is set differently from decay eddy and non-eddy water. For c, g and k, the left and right whisker represent the 10th and 90th percentile of bSiO2/PN data from the same depth of all stations, respectively. The left and right boundaries of the box represent 25th and 75th data percentiles, respectively, with the central line representing the data median
