Description:We examine the effects of the submesoscale in mediating the response to projected warming of phytoplankton new production and export using idealized biogeochemical tracers in a high-resolution regional model of the Porcupine Abyssal Plain region of the North Atlantic. We quantify submesoscale effects by comparing our control run to an integration in which submesoscale motions have been suppressed using increased viscosity. Annual new production is slightly reduced by submesoscale motions in a climate representative of the early 21st-century and slightly increased by submesoscale motions in a climate representative of the late 21st-century. The warmer climate at the end of the 21st century reduces resolved
