Estimating Carbon Flux From Optically Recording Total Particle Volume at Depths Below the Primary Pycnocline

Estimating Carbon Flux From Optically Recording Total Particle Volume at Depths Below the Primary Pycnocline

Optical instruments can rapidly determine numbers and characteristics of water column particles with high sensitivity. Here we show the usefulness of optically assessed total particle volume below the main pycnocline to estimate carbon export in two systems: the open subarctic North Atlantic and the...
