Comparisons of the seasonal variation between MODIS-derived POC (blue line, mg m−3) and in situ observations of primary production (PP, red line, mg C m−2 day−1) at (a) station K2 (160°E, 47°N) over 2005 to 2013 and at (b) station S1 (145°E, 30°N) over 2010 to 2013. The seasonal averages of in situ PP at K2 and S1 are from Sasai et al.49.
