Reconciling surface ocean productivity, export fluxes and sediment composition in a global biogeochemical ocean model

This study focuses on an improved representation of the biological soft tissue pump in the global three-dimensional biogeochemical ocean model PISCES. We compare three parameterizations of particle dynamics: (1) the model standard version including two particle size classes, aggregation-disaggregati...
