Dataset identification

Title of datasetNeural network model output of marine phytoplankton primary production (Global Ocean)
Narrative summary of datasetGlobal phytoplankton production monthly maps for 2017 are produced using an artificial neural network to perform a generalized nonlinear regression of PP on several predictive variables, including latitude, longitude, day length, MLD, SST, PBopt computed according to Behrenfeld and Falkowski (1997), PAR and CHL(0 m). More details about this model can be found in Scardi (2001). Behrenfeld, M. J., Falkowski, P. G. (1997), Photosynthetic rates derived from satellite-based chlorophyll concentration, Limnology & Oceanography, 42(1), 1–20. Scardi, M. (2001), Advances in neural network modeling of phytoplankton primary production, Ecological Modelling, 146, 33–45.

Data quality processing informationSeveral data sets were used to develop and validate the model. The largest one is still available at http://www.science.oregonstate.edu/ocean.productivity/field.data.c14.readme.php. Since field data were insufficient to calibrate the model in several regions, PP estimates from other models (VGPM, HYR, and the MOD-27 formulation (Esaias, 1996)) were considered as measurements where there were none. Therefore, this model can be regarded as a metamodel. As vertical profiles with very high (and possibly biased) P/B ratios were filtered out, the PP estimates obtained from this model tend to be slightly lower than those from several other models. Comparisons with other global models of phytoplankton primary production can be found in Carr et al. (2006), Friedrichs et al. (2009), Saba et al. (2010a, 2010b) and Lee et al. (2015).
