This page provides a simple, visual comparison of NPP estimates for the various Custom Products algorithms. What we hope is that these images will give users of these products a general sense of how different estimated NPP distributions can be between models. Since the CbPM products are only available at this time for the SeaWiFS record, these visuals are all based on SeaWiFS data. The top three panels provide a comparison of Annual NPP distributions for the three models for the entire SeaWiFS data set. These are then followed by comparisons of Seasonal NPP distributions.
