Primary productivity in tropical oceans is primarily limited by nutrient availability, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus. Factors such as temperature, light availability, and water movement can also influence primary productivity in tropical oceans. Upwelling events that bring nutrient-rich waters to the surface can enhance primary productivity in these regions.
Primary productivity in tropical oceans is limited by factors such as nutrient availability, light availability, and temperature. Nutrient availability may be limited due to low input from upwelling currents or lack of mixing in some areas. Light availability may be restricted due to cloud cover, depth of the water column, or turbidity. Temperature can also limit primary productivity as it affects the metabolic rates of marine organisms.

The primary energy source that causes warm moist air to rise over tropical oceans is solar radiation. The sun heats the surface of the ocean, causing the air above it to warm up and rise due to its lower density compared to cooler air. This process creates convection currents that drive the atmospheric circulation in tropical regions.
Tropical waters, while beautiful, have high light levels and are nutrient poor. The murkier temperate oceans are nutrient dense and have low light levels allowing for abundant plankton and algae formation.

Tropical oceans encircle Earth in an equatorial band between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° North latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° South latitude).
