PACE OCI Level-4 Global Mapped Net Primary Production (NPP), Carbon, Absorption, Fluorescence Euphotic-resolving (CAFE) model Data, version 3.2
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The Net Primary Production Carbon, Absorption, Fluorescence Euphotic-resolving (NPP_CAFE) data suite includes estimates of oceanic net primary production derived from ocean-color observations using the Carbon, Absorption, Fluorescence Euphotic-resolving (CAFE) model.
Description
The CAFE model combines satellite-derived optical properties with phytoplankton physiology, light availability, and photosynthetic processes to estimate the rate of carbon fixation by marine phytoplankton.
NPP_CAFE products are used to assess ocean productivity, ecosystem health, carbon cycling, biological responses to environmental variability, and the role of phytoplankton in the global carbon cycle. Geophysical variables in this suite include: - npp_cafe — Net primary productivity of biomass expressed as carbon (mg m⁻² day⁻¹)
