Description

This upload includes MATLAB code and files that are necessary to estimate mass flux and sinking rates from size-fractionated filtered marine particles. The method has been applied to three recent U.S. GEOTRACES cruises in the North Atlantic, Eastern Tropical South Pacific, and Western Arctic Ocean, and could be applied to existing and future size-fractionated filtered particulate measurements in other parts of the global ocean. Please refer to our published paper (DOI: 10.1029/2021GB007292) for more details about the method and results.
