The Efficiency of the Biological Carbon Pump: Analyzing Vertical Flux in MarineSnow_05 and _07 Datasets

Quantifying how much carbon is successfully transported to the seafloor versus how much is consumed or remineralized by microbes and zooplankton in the water column. MarineSnow_05_and_07_compressed.zip

The "MarineSnow_05_and_07_compressed.zip" file likely contains data related to , which is the continuous shower of organic debris (such as dead plankton, fecal pellets, and silt) falling from the upper ocean to the deep sea . This material is a critical energy source for deep-sea ecosystems and a key driver of the ocean's biological carbon pump , which sequesters atmospheric CO2 into the seafloor.
