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. These visuals are all based on SeaWiFS data. The top panels provide a comparison of Annual NPP distributions for the four models for the SeaWiFS data set. These are then followed by comparisons of Monthly NPP distributions. The annual and monthly comparisons show larger figures, and cover 1998 through 2007.
