Mean and standard deviations of the environmental variables for each biogeochemical subprovince defined by the 5% threshold of the classical, mesoscale, and full multivariate arrays over the 101 months of the data set, including sea surface temperature (SST, °C), chlorophyll-<i>a</i> concentration (chl; mg m⁻³), finite-sized Lyapunov exponents (FSLE; s⁻¹), the Okubo-Weiss parameter (OW; s⁻²), eddy kinetic energy (EKE; cm² s⁻²), and SST and chl frontal gradients (SSTgrad; °C km⁻¹, and chlgrad; mg m⁻³ km⁻¹, respectively).
