Seasonal-to-decadal scale variability in primary production and particulate matter export at Station ALOHA

Station ALOHA (A Long-term Oligotrophic Habitat Assessment) was established in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (22°45′N, 158°W) as an oligotrophic ocean benchmark to improve our understanding of processes that govern the fluxes of carbon (C) into and from the surface ocean. At approximately monthly intervals, measurements of the primary production of particulate C (PC) using the 14C method, and the export of PC and particulate nitrogen (PN)...
