Organic carbon budget for the eastern boundary of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre: Major role of DOC in mesopelagic respiration
Transports of suspended particulate (POCsusp) and dissolved (DOC) organic carbon are inferred from a box-model covering the eastern boundary of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre. Corresponding net respiration rates (R) are obtained from a net organic carbon budget that is based on the transport es...
