title: An archive of net community production estimates derived from autonomous profiler observations at Ocean Station Papa

description: This dataset contains an archive of marine net community production estimates for Ocean Station Papa, derived using autonomous profilers, including BGC-Argo floats and sea gliders. The archive contains data from the following original publications: Haskell, W. Z., Fassbender, A. J., Long, J. S., and Plant, J. N.: Annual Net Community Production of Particulate and Dissolved Organic Carbon From a Decade of Biogeochemical Profiling Float Observations in the Northeast Pacific, Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 34, 1–22, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020GB006599, 2020.

At minimum, each contains time (recorded as absolute days since 01 Jan 2000, 00:00:00), and time-explicit depth-integrated NCP. Additional fields include depth-resolved NCP, and water column depth (Plant et al., 2016; Pelland et al., 2018). Note that the Haskell et al. (2020) dataset (haskell20.mat, haskell20.nc) contains climatological NCP estimates. Accordingly, the time field represents the Year-day only. All NCP units are recorded in units of mmol O2/m2/d (depth-integrated) or mmol O2/m3/d (depth-resolved). Additional information on each dataset is contained within the data files. Additional processing information is contained in Izett et al. (under review). <strong>The data were compiled in: </strong> Izett, R. W., Fennel, K., Stoer, A. C., and Nicholson, D. P.
