Reviews and syntheses: expanding the global coverage of gross primary production and net community production measurements using Biogeochemical-Argo floats
Robert W. Izett,Katja Fennel,Adam C. Stoer,and David P. Nicholson
This is an excellent review of gross primary production (GPP) and net community production (NCP) measurements in the world's oceans using a new fleet of autonomous ocean-going instruments called biogeochemical-Argo (BGC-Argo) floats. The number of BGC-Argo floats has recently been surging with their users, so this review is timely and helpful for many oceanographers and biogeochemists to understand the advantages and challenges in the measurements of GPP and NCP in the oceans with the recently emerged technology.

This paper provides an overview of the capacity to expand the global coverage of marine primary production estimates using autonomous ocean-going instruments, called Biogeochemical-Argo floats. We review existing approaches to quantifying primary production using floats, provide examples of the current implementation of the methods, and offer insights into how they can be better exploited. This paper is timely, given the ongoing expansion of the Biogeochemical-Argo array.
