P.8 right column bottom paragraph: "Annual Global and Regional Estimates: [29] The phytoplankton class-specific approach yields a value of 46 Gt C/yr for the annual total primary production within the world's oceans (Table 2). This falls within the range of previously published estimates (36.5–56 Gt C/yr) based on satellite ocean color algorithms [Longhurst et al., 1995 Antoine et al., 1996 Westberry et al., 2008] and biogeochemical models [Moore et al., 2002 Aumont et al., 2003]." P.9 left column 3rd paragraph: "[31] [Investigators] also estimated the annual primary production integrated for six ocean basins (Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, the Southern Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea), as well as for the equatorial and intertropical latitudinal zones (Table 2)."
