21 Conclusion High latitudes have high export ratio but low transfer efficiency to the deep ocean. Explanations may lie in: the effect of SST, the mineral association of the organic carbon Sinking rate of particles Frequency of episodic events.

32 Linking surface ocean and the deep sea Major achievement of JGOFS 1. How to measure flux. 2. Temporal and geographical variability in flux and composition of material. 3. Ballast affects transfer efficiency. 4. Benthic communities are highly sensitive to upper ocean processes. 5. Models and data are converging. 6. Establishment of time series sites Linking surface ocean and the deep sea Future challenges 1. How does the Martin curve change in time and space? 2. What components of the midwater biosphere are the major players? 3. What is the effect of temporal variation in flux on aphotic communities? 4. Develop models. 5. Maintain time series sites. 3 2
