New autonomous robotic platforms for observing the ocean, i.e.Biogeochemical-Argo (BGC-Argo) floats, have drastically increased the number of vertical profiles of irradiance, photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), and algal chlorophyll concentrations around the globe independent of the season.Such data may therefore be a fruitful resource to
