BICEP / NCEO: Monthly global Marine Phytoplankton Primary Production, between 1998-2020 at 9 km resolution (derived from the Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative v4.2 dataset)
Abstract
This dataset contains global, monthly marine phytoplankton primary production products (in mg C m-2 d-1) for the period of 1998 to 2018 at 9 km spatial resolution. Data are provided in NetCDF format.
Primary production by marine phytoplankton was modelled using ocean-colour remote sensing products and a spectrally-resolved primary production model that incorporates the vertical structure of phytoplankton and simulates changes in photosynthesis as a function of irradiance using a two-parameter photosynthesis versus irradiance (P-I) function (see Kulk et al. 2020, Sathyendranath et al. 2020a, and references therein for details). Chlorophyll-a products were obtained from the European Space Agency (ESA) Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI v4.2 dataet). Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) products were obtained from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and were corrected for inter-sensor bias in products. In situ datasets of chlorophyll-a profile parameters and P-I parameters were incorporated as described in Kulk et al. (2020).
The primary production products were generated as part of the ESA Living Planet Fellowship programme ‘Primary production, Index of Climate Change in the Ocean: Long-term Observations’
(PICCOLO). Support from the Simons Foundation grant ‘Computational Biogeochemical Modeling of Marine Ecosystems’ (CBIOMES, number 549947), from the ESA Biological Pump and Carbon
Exchange Processes (BICEP) project and from the National Centre of Earth Observation (NCEO) is acknowledged.
Data are provided as netCDF files containing global, monthly marine phytoplankton primary production products (in mg C m-2 d-1) for the period of 1998 to 2020 at 9 km spatial resolution.

| Data lineage: |
The primary production products were generated as part of the ESA Living Planet Fellowship programme ‘Primary production, Index of Climate Change in the Ocean: Long-term Observations’ (PICCOLO). They were delivered by project participants for long-term archiving to the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) archive.

| Data Quality: |
The model used to generate the marine phytoplankton primary production products (Platt & Sathyendranath 1988, updated according to Sathyendranath et al. 2020a and Kulk et al. 2020) has consistently performed well when compared with other models (Friedrichs et al. 2009, Buitenhuis et al. 2013, Lobanova et al. 2018). Considerable improvements have been made to the global coverage of the parameter database (Bouman et al. 2018, Kulk et al. 2020), while data provided by ESA’s Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI) project allowed for the use of over 20 years of remote-sensing observations. The OC-CCI products are multi-sensor products (reducing missing data), in which biases between sensors have been corrected (avoiding artificial trends in data arising from systematic differences between biases) and have been processed with a common protocol for calculation of chlorophyll-a concentration (minimising any systematic differences arising from differences between algorithms) (Sathyendranath et al. 2019).

| Abstract | Primary production by marine phytoplankton was modelled using ocean-colour remote sensing products and a spectrally-resolved primary production model that incorporates the vertical structure of phytoplankton and simulates changes in photosynthesis as a function of irradiance using a two-parameters photosynthesis versus irradiance (P-I) function (see Platt & Sathyendranath 1988 for original version and Sathyendranath et al. 2020a and Kulk et al. 2020 for a detailed description of the model used for the current products). Chlorophyll-a products were obtained from the European Space Agency (ESA) Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI v4.2 dataset, Sathyendranath et al. 2020b), Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) products were obtained from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and in situ datasets of chlorophyll-a profile parameters and P-I parameters were collected as described in Kulk et al. (2020). |
