Figure 6. Forecasted habitat suitability (from 0 = low [in
blue] to 1 = high [in yellow]) for each model during an example
month when the NEP experienced a MHW (September 2015). Pink and white
contours are the 90th percentile kernel densities for albacore presences
and pseudo-absences, respectively, during the month across the two
datasets. Density plots show the distribution of predicted suitability
values at presences and pseudo-absences from each model. Color scale for
mapped sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTa; oC)
represents warmer (red) or colder (blue) than the climatological average
(SST; 1993 - 2019).
