Abstract

Size fractionated Organic Particle Carbon and Nitrogen concentrations and stable C and N isotopes from the Eastern Tropical North Pacific were obtained from the R/V Kilo Moana on cruise KM1920 in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific at two stations in October 2019: St P2 (16.9°N 107°W) and St P3 (21.8°N 109.9°W). These two stations included an anoxic Oxygen Deficient Zone from 110-820 m for St P2 and 160-650 m for St P3. For size fractionated particulate organic C and N analyses, water was ob...
