Microstructure and composition of marine aggregates as co-determinants for vertical particulate organic carbon transfer in the global ocean

<p>Marine aggregates are the vector for biogenically bound carbon and nutrients from the euphotic zone to the interior of the oceans. To improve the representation of this biological carbon pump in the global biogeochemical HAMburg Ocean Carbon Cycle (HAMOCC) model, we implemented a novel Micr...
