Correlation of vOTUs coverage with presence at stations. Linear regressions (mean with confidence intervals) showing the positive correlation between the vOTU average read coverage for SML and ULW with the number of stations a vOTU was present based on read breadth (a). The concept figure illustrates the intensified spread of viruses from surface films of the Arctic Ocean and melt pond air-sea interface compared to deeper surface water irrespective of the higher abundance of phages in the ULW (b)
