Greenland Sea primary production in 1998–2022: monitoring and parameterization using satellite and field data
Phytoplankton are responsible for releasing half of the World’s oxygen and for removing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the surface waters. Despite many studies on the topic conducted in the past decades, we are still far from a good understanding of ongoing rapid changes in the Arctic Ocean, a...

Phytoplankton are responsible for releasing half of the World’s oxygen and for removing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the surface waters. Despite many studies on the topic conducted in the past decades, we are still far from a good understanding of ongoing rapid changes in the Arctic Ocean, and how they will affect phytoplankton and the whole ecosystem. An example is the difference in net primary production modeling estimates, which differ two times globally and fifty times when only the Arctic region is considered. Here we aim to improve the quality of Greenland Sea primary production estimates, by testing different versions of primary production model against in-situ data, and then calculating regional estimates and trends for 1998–2022 for those performing best.
