Carbonate flux in the Northern Scotia Sea from April 2009 to February 2011

This dataset is referring to 2-year time series of particle flux, as measured by two deep moored sediment traps (P2, P3) located in the Southern Ocean (northern Scotia Sea sector), a globally important region of atmospheric CO2 drawdown containing both naturally iron-fertilised (P3) and iron-limited (P2) regimes. The dataset includes the main biogeochemical flux parameters (such as Bsi, POC and PIC) as well as the specific contribution of each part of the plankton calcifying community (pteropods, foraminifera, coccolithphores and ostracods) to the PIC within a period from April 2009 to February 2011. The dataset allows the estimation of the Carbonate Counter Pump (CCP), which causes an increase in surface ocean CO2 through the calcification and precipitation of carbonate.

Statement
Physical data acquired during the sediment trap deployment suggest the record was not subjected to major hydrodynamic biases since mean current velocities near to the sediment traps were < 10 cm s-1 and we assumed no significant lateral advection occurred.
