Why do numerical models simulate contrasting primary productivity responses in the North Pacific during the Last Glacial Maximum?

Primary productivity (PP) of the ocean is a crucial factor controlling of the carbon cycle of the Earth. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) provides a valuable end-member climate state for evaluating its control. Numerical models, however, disagree on how PP in the North Pacific responded to LGM climate, limiting mechanist...
