PARTICULATE CARBONATE, ORGANIC CARBON, AND Mn++ IN THE OPEN OCEAN
Particulate carbonate, organic carbon, and Mn++ were measured in a series of surface and deep stations in the North Atlantic Ocean during the AFRAM expedition. Surface values of all three components were much greater than values from deeper samples, but below 100 m there was no apparent decrease wit...

| Summary: | Particulate carbonate, organic carbon, and Mn++ were measured in a series of surface and deep stations in the North Atlantic Ocean during the AFRAM expedition. Surface values of all three components were much greater than values from deeper samples, but below 100 m there was no apparent decrease with depth and no apparent correlation between the com-ponents, While organic carbon showed some regional variation, no such variation could be seen in either carbonate or divalent manganese.
