CARIACO Ocean Time-Series data collected in the Cariaco Basin since 1995
This collection includes surface primary production (carbon fixation rates by photosynthesis of planktonic algae), regional hydrography, physical forcing variables (such as the wind), and the settling flux of particulate organic carbon, measured in the Cariaco Basin as part of the Carbon Retention In A Colored Ocean Project (CARIACO) Ocean Time-Series Program.
