AbstractMarine phytoplankton are responsible for approximately half of the planet’s net primary production (NPP) and are undergoing rapid change in response to shifting surface ocean heat budgets. Satellite remote sensing has provided nearly three decades of surface ocean color data, enabling us to infer phytoplankton distribution and improve NPP estimates in the surface mixed layer with unprecedented spatial coverage. However, phytoplankton below the ocean mixed layer contribute substantially to global
