The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Net primary productivity (NPP) and associated parameters for the U.S. outer continental shelf waters, 1998-2009 (NCEI Accession 0071184) |
| Abstract: | This dataset consists of monthly net primary productivity (NPP) estimates for 1998-2009 derived from the Vertically Generalized Production Model (VGPM) for the 26 Outer Continental Shelf planning areas in the United States, produced by CSA International, Inc. (CSA) under contract to the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement. The NPP data are provided as GeoTIFF files depicting global gridded monthly NPP estimates. Summary NPP statistics for each of the 26 planning areas are also provided as separate ASCII text files. Input datasets used in the VGPM were also provided by CSA and present in this accession. These input datasets include global monthly sea surface temperature from the AVHRR Pathfinder Version 5.0 data set, global photosynthetically available radiation (par) and chlorophyll-a concentration data from the SeaWiFS and MODIS instruments, and global climatological monthly mean photoperiod data. These input datasets are provided in HDF4, with the exception of the photoperiod data which is provided in binary format. |

| Supplementary information: | The purpose of collecting these data was 1) to provide the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement with current and complete estimates of marine productivity for the 26 Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) planning areas; 2) to evaluate current methods of estimating marine productivity; 3) to select preferred methods for determining primary and secondary productivity estimates; and 4) to develop updated estimates for all OCS planning areas. For more information on the methods used to generate these data, refer to the final report: Balcom, B.J., D.C. Biggs, C. Hu, P. Montagna, and D.A. Stockwell. 2011.
