EqPac transect

The EqPac process study was conducted along 140°W during the calendar year 1992. Four process cruises took place, with a fifth benthic cruise and sediment trap legs adding to the overall study. The scientific objectives of this study were to determine the fluxes of carbon and related elements, and the processes controlling these fluxes between the Equatorial Pacific euphotic zone and the atmosphere and deep ocean. The broad outlines of the project were described by Murray et al. (1992). The scientific results have been described in a series of Deep-Sea Research Special Issues.

To get an overview about the data available in the following section, please have a look at the map and the variable/parameter profiles (.pdf document). In order to present properly the results Ocean Data View (Reiner Schlitzer, Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research) has been applied.

Data are available as tab-delimited .txt files in ASCII format. If you have comments on that, please let me know (Nicolas Dittert, WDC-MARE).
