Estimating ocean net primary productivity from daily cycles of carbon biomass measured by profiling floats

Abstract The dependence of net primary productivity (NPP), a central metric in ecology and biogeochemistry, on sunlight drives daily cycles in carbon biomass in the ocean's euphotic zone. In this study, we infer NPP from the daily cycle of biomass. These estimates were extracted from bio‐optica...
