Table 14.2 Annual totals of POC flux compared to sediment oxygen consumption
(SCOC, converted to units of carbon utilized) at Station “M”.
(After Smith et al. 2001.)
The reduction in frequency of visits to Station M after 1997–1998 was briefly
preceded by the beginning of availability of satellite chlorophyll data (1996). Smith et
al. (2006) have modeled a continuous time-series of POC flux to the Station M trap
levels for 1996 to 2004 (later updated to 2006; Smith et al. 2009). Satellite
