This dataset includes a single .xlsx file containing all data collected from a single station over a ten year time period. We examined the composition and flux of particles sinking to the deep Eastern Tropical Pacific from 2003 to 2013. We examined the composition and flux of particles sinking to the deep Eastern Tropical Pacific from 2003 to 2013. We observed that the flux of particulate organic and inorganic carbon to a depth of 4,950 m increased as the climate variability called the “Pacific Decadal Oscillation” shifted from a positive to negative phase (i.e., more La Niña events) in 2008.
