Mesoscale eddies in the oceans are known to modify the nutrient supply, stimulate phytoplankton growth, and significantly affect carbon fixation. Submesoscale processes associated with mesoscale eddies have been suggested to induce even stronger variability in phytoplankton dynamics; however, their large‐scale impact has not been quantitatively evaluated in the global ocean. By combining multiple satellite products to resolve both mesoscale a...
