The database presented in the CarbonExport project shows 5,940 observations of sinking particles. The data visualization project describes fluxes of particulate organic carbon (POC), particulate organic nitrogen (PON), calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and particulate -or biogenic- silica (bSiO₂) present in sedimenting material. The total particle mass flux includes, in addition to these compounds, the contribution from the remaining particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) and litho/terrigenous material.
