Utilization of Soot and 210 Po-210 Pb Disequilibria to Constrain Particulate Organic Carbon Fluxes in the Northeastern South China Sea

Utilization of Soot and 210 Po-210 Pb Disequilibria to Constrain Particulate Organic Carbon Fluxes in the Northeastern South China Sea

Black carbon (BC) is believed to be refractory and thus affects the timescale of organic carbon conversion into CO2 and the magnitude of the sink of CO2. However, the fate of BC in the oceans remains poorly understood. Here, 210Po and 210Pb were measured to examine the export of soot in the northeas...
