  1. Highlights • Satellite estimates of ocean primary productivity (i.e., the rate at which marine algae transform dissolved inorganic carbon into organic material) showed higher values for 2020 (relative to the 2003-2019 mean) for seven of the nine investigated regions (with the Sea of Okhotsk and Bering Sea showing lower than average values). • All regions continue to exhibit positive trends over the 2003-2020 period, with the strongest trends in the Eurasian Arctic, Barents Sea, and Greenland Sea. • During July and August 2020, a ~600 km long region in the Laptev Sea of the Eurasian Arctic showed much higher chlorophyll-a concentrations (~2 times higher for July and ~6 times higher for August) than the same months of the multiyear average (2003-2019), associated with very early loss of sea ice in spring and summer (see essay Sea Ice).
