Notice that we do not have a complete record for Nitrate due to bio-fouling of sensors during the pandemic. However, based on the relationship you see between chlorophyll and nitrate during the rest of the timeseries, can you justify your prediction during the missing period?
Take a look at the above charts. Use your mouse to draw your prediction for what the rest of the Nitrate timeseries should look like before and after the year 2021. You can draw over your line to change your prediction. After you have made your estimate, click the box.
