Temporal and regional variabilities in the attenuation of sinking particulate organic carbon in the Kuroshio region

Temporal and regional variabilities in the attenuation of sinking particulate organic carbon in the Kuroshio region

The biological pump that transports carbon from the surface ocean to the ocean interior is an important determinant of ocean carbon absorption from the atmosphere, and of biological activity beneath the euphotic zone. Various factors influence the magnitude and efficiency of this biological pump, su...
