Global database of surface ocean particulate organic carbon export fluxes diagnosed from the <sup>234</sup>Th technique
The oceanic biological carbon pump is an important factor in the global carbon cycle. Organic carbon is exported from the surface ocean mainly in the form of settling particles derived from plankton production in the upper layers of the ocean. The large variability in current estimates of the global...
