Abstract. This study compares spatial and temporal variability in net primary productivity (PP) and particulate organic carbon (POC) export production (EP) from three different coupled climate carbon cycle models (IPSL, MPIM, NCAR) with observation-based estimates derived from satellite measurements of ocean colour and inverse modelling. Satellite observations of ocean colour have shown that temporal variability of PP on the global scale is largely dominated by the permanently stratified, low-latitude ocean (Behrenfeld et al., 2006)\\nocite{Behrenfeld06} with stronger stratification (higher SSTs) leading to negative PP anomalies and vice versa. Results from all three coupled models confirm the role of the low-latitude, permanently stratified ocean for global PP anomalies. Two of the models also reproduce the inverse relationship between stratification (SST) and PP, especially in the equatorial Pacific. With the help of the model results we are able to explain the chain of cause and effect leading from stratification (SST) through nutrient concentrations to PP and finally to EP. There are significant uncertainties in observational PP and especially EP. Our finding of a good agreement between independent estimates from coupled models and satellite observations provides increased confidence that such models can be used as a first basis to estimate the impact of future climate change on marine productivity and carbon export.
