Abstract

Suspended Organic Particle Carbon and Nitrogen concentrations and stable C and N isotopes were obtained from the Eastern Tropical North Pacific on the R/V Revelle cruise RR1805 in April 2018 and the R/V Kilo Moana cruise KM1920 in October 2019. R/V Revelle cruise RR1805 sampled two stations in 2018: St P2 (16.9ºN 107ºW) and St P1 (20.3 °N 106.1°W). These two stations included an anoxic Oxygen Deficient Zone from 105-820 m for St P2 and 68-800 m for St P1. The R/V Kilo Moana cruise KM1920 sampled...
