Carbon-specific remineralization rates of small and large organic particles in the North Atlantic

This repository provides the carbon-specific remineralization rates of small and large organic particles in the North Atlantic which were calculated by using BGC-Argo observations of backscatter (a proxy of particulate organic carbon, POC) and dissolved oxygen. Details are given in the following article:
