Mesoscale ocean fronts enhance carbon export due to gravitational sinking and subduction
Enhanced vertical carbon transport (gravitational sinking and subduction) at mesoscale ocean fronts may explain the demonstrated imbalance of new production and sinking particle export in coastal upwelling ecosystems. Based on flux assessments from ²³⁸U:²³⁴Th disequilibrium and sediment traps, we fo...
