The database on ocean primary productivity comprises over two decades (1985–2008) of data that the authors have participated in collecting, using the assimilation of inorganic ¹⁴C through photosynthesis, in incubations carried out in situ. The dataset is perhaps unique in that it uses, overwhelmingly, consistent methodology while covering a wide geographic range. Ancillary data are included. Using the database, it is hoped that investigators can test for the relationships among the environmental drivers for ocean productivity, the meaning of the ¹⁴C method in terms of phytoplankton physiology and the dynamics in the water column, and as a resource for further development of productivity algorithms using satellite ocean color imagery.

14C方法的海洋初级生产力数据库

关于海洋初级生产力的数据库包括作者在过去的二十年（1985-2008年）中参与的数据，这些数据是通过光合作用利用无机¹⁴ C的同化作用进行的。该数据集也许是独特的，因为它在覆盖广泛的地理范围的同时以压倒性的方式使用了一致的方法。包括辅助数据。希望使用该数据库，研究人员能够测试海洋生产力的环境驱动因素，浮游植物生理学和水柱动力学方面的¹⁴ C方法的含义以及作为进一步开发水生生物的资源。使用卫星海洋彩色图像的生产力算法。
