The monthly climatologies of NCHL and DCHL for the two 10-year periods 1987-1996 and 1997-2006 are compared. The anomalies of NCHL+DCHL concentrations from the 1979-2006 monthly climatologies (NCHL+DCHL_anom_mgm3_Nof66N_1979-2006_z1-14.eps) indicates there was a shift in the vertical distribution of NCHL and DCHL concentrations in the upper ocean around 1994-6. The vertical distributions of positive and negative anomalies after ~1995 are reversed in comparison to those before ~1995 with the positive anomalies moving near the surace and the negative anomalies moving towards deeper depth. *=============================================================================== > NCHL_DCHL_Mon_Clim_mgm2_Nof66N_z1-z14_87-96_97-06.eps > NCHL_DCHL_Mon_Clim_mgm2_Nof66N_z1-z20_87-96_97-06.eps Plots of vertically integrated and horizontally averaged monthly climatologies of NCHL and DCHL (units mg/m^2) in the Arctic Ocean north of 66N for the two 10-year periods 1987-1996 and 1997-2006.
