Seasonal distribution of primary production, phytoplankton biomass and size distribution in the Greenland Sea

The study establishes an annual estimate for annual primary production of 81 g C m −2 for the open Greenland Sea based on data from five cruises and literature data. This estimate agrees well with a model estimate based on nutrient utilisation but is a factor of 2–5 less than published primary produ...
