Variable export fluxes and efficiencies for calcite, opal, and organic carbon in the Atlantic Ocean:A ballast effect in action?
Latitudinal variability in export fluxes and efficiencies (ThE) of calcite, opal, and particulate organic carbon (POC) were examined during a basin-scale Atlantic Ocean cruise. A clear relationship between integrated euphotic zone POC and calcite export combined with similarities in average ThE for...
