Organic carbon flux measured over at least one year with time-series sediment traps in the Northern Hemisphere in grams per square meter per year. This figure integrates data derived from sediment traps around the world, including WHOI PARFLUX results. Note the huge export flux in the Arabian Sea and relatively large annual flux in the northwestern Pacific. The "biological pump" works efficiently in these areas compared to the mid ocean.[back]
