Abstract
New maps of the mean monthly distribution of chlorophyll and the primary production in the Kara Sea were compiled using joint processing of CZCS (1978–1986), SeaWiFS (1998–2005), and MODIS (2002–2006) satellite data and field measurements. The annual primary production of phytoplankton is estimated at 22.3 × 106 t of C per year or 70 mg of C/m2 per day. The results of the calculations of the organic carbon budget in the Kara Sea are presented.
