Introduction

The auxiliary material contains data of downward fluxes and standing stocks of 
POC, calcite and opal for cruises AMT14 and D321.  These data are necessary for 
the construction of Figure 1 and Figure 2 in paper 2010GL042574.  The tabulated 
data is given in Table 1 of the Supplementary Online Material.

Data used to construct Figure 1 and Figure 2 in the paper.

1.1 Column “Cruise/Date”, cruise number, dd/mm/yy, cruise number and date 
sampled.
1.2 Column “Position °S”, degrees S, latitude of stations sampled.
1.3 Column “Position °W”, degrees W, longitude of stations sampled.
1.4 Column “Downward fluxes (mg m-2 d-1) POC”, daily rates of POC flux.
1.5 Column “Downward fluxes (mg m-2 d-1) Calcite”, daily rates of Calcite flux.
1.6 Column “Downward fluxes (mg m-2 d-1) Opal”, daily rates of Opal flux.
1.7 Column “Standing Stocks (mg m-2) POC, euphotic zone inventories of POC.
1.8 Column “Standing Stocks (mg m-2) Calcite, euphotic zone inventories of 
Calcite.
1.9 Column “Standing Stocks (mg m-2) Opal, euphotic zone inventories of Opal.
