In recent years, the frequent occurrence of eutrophication problems in water bodies has been caused by changes in the climate environment and overexploitation of natural resources by humans. Chlorophyll-a, as a key indicator for water body assessment, plays an important role in eutrophication research and has a profound impact on the global biogeochemical cycle of the climate process. Studies have shown that temperature can directly or indirectly affect the concentration of chlorophyll-a by influencing the growth of algae and water quality indicators in water bodies. Considering the temperature factor in the inversion of chlorophyll-a concentration is a novel research approach. Based on the influence of temperature on chlorophyll-a concentration, we propose the idea of inverting global ocean chlorophyll-a concentration based on temperature zoning. Using monthly average remote sensing reflectance data from VIIRS (Visible and Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite), combined with the results of temperature zoning, the OC3V_(SST) model was constructed to invert the monthly average chlorophyll-a concentration in the global ocean in October 2018. The OC3V_(SST) model has been validated by applying it to the remaining 11 months of January, April, July, and October in 2017, 2018, and 2019, as well as the entire 31-day dataset of October 2018. The results indicate that temperature zonation can significantly improve the inversion accuracy of chlorophyll-a and further explore the spatial distribution patterns of global chlorophyll-a concentrations across various temperature ranges based on monthly averages from the global ocean. Additionally, the study investigates the continuity issues of various models and the correlation between temperature and chlorophyll-a.
