Annual Cycle of Sea Surface Chlorophyll at DGoMB Stations ...

Based on a primary productivity model and a vertical flux model, the calculated export of particulate organic carbon (POC flux reaching the seafloor) averaged 18 mg C m-2 day-1 at the 22 NE Gulf stations, and 9 mg C m-2 day-1 at the 22 NW Gulf stations. These estimates are comparable to those measured by benthic lander. ................
