High-resolution sampling in the eastern tropical North Atlantic reveals episodic Saharan dust deposition: implications for the marine carbon sink

In this study we present data collected between August 2017 and December 2018 from submarine sediment trap M1 located in the eastern tropical North Atlantic and determine lithogenic and biogenic fluxes, and grain-size distributions of aerosol dust. An unprecedented high sampling resolution of four d...
