npp data is incorrect in 01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle4 and 01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle4_jra55v150_extension

As noted in hrsdawson/ACCESS-WOMBAT_01deg_BGC_validation#3 (comment), npp3d
and related diagnostics (npp1
, npp2d
, npp_intmld
, npp_int100
) are in fact phytoplankton growth minus grazing, not npp (phytoplankton growth minus linear mortality).
This is easily fixed (see mom-ocean/MOM5#378), but we generated a lot of data with this incorrect formula in ACCESS-OM2-01 IAF cycle 4 and its extension (01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle4
and 01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle4_jra55v150_extension
) so should the metadata for that be corrected to avoid confusion?

Note @tylerrohr22's comment that pprod_gross
could be regarded as net primary production because it is already net of autotrophic respiration.
