Short summary
This study examines how environmental factors, particularly temperature, affect the seasonal and spatial distribution of mesopelagic organisms in the North Atlantic. Using data from 720 BGC-Argo floats, we identified distinct daily and seasonal migration patterns. Temperature was the key driver, followed by salinity and dissolved oxygen. These findings enhance our understanding of mesopelagic ecosystems, with potential implications for fisheries management.
