Suppose a 100 km? section of the ocean in a central gyre is selected for intense study. The depth of water is 5000 m, and the surface mixed layer is 100 m deep. The daily net photosynthetic production is measured to be 5 x 106 mol per day. What is the primary productivity (in g m2 yr³)? Hints: 1 km? = 10 m? 1 yr = 365 days

Question
Suppose a 100 km? section of the ocean in a central gyre is selected for intense study. The depth of water is 5000 m, and the surface mixed layer is 100 m deep. The daily net photosynthetic production is measured to be 5 x 10% mol per day. What is the primary productivity (in g m? yr)? Hints: 1 km? = 10 m? 1 yr = 365 days 1 mol C = 12.011 g
