Biogeochemical‐argo floats reveal stark latitudinal gradient in the Southern Ocean deep carbon flux driven by phytoplankton community composition
The gravitational sinking of particles in the mesopelagic layer (∼ 200–1,000 m) transfers to
the deep ocean a part of atmospheric carbon fixed by phytoplankton. This process, called …
