An evaluation of ocean color model estimates of marine primary productivity in coastal and pelagic regions across the globe

Abstract. Nearly half of the earth’s photosynthetically fixed carbon derives from the oceans. To determine global and region specific rates, we rely on models that estimate marine net primary productivity (NPP) thus it is essential that these models are evaluated to determine their accuracy. Here we...
