The study was conducted along two zonal sections (21ºN and 26ºN) extending from the coastal upwelling to the open ocean at 26ºW, and focused on the epipelagic (0-200 m) and mesopelagic (200-1000 m) zones. The cruises consisted of a total of 31 hydrographic stations and 10 biogeochemical stations, half of them along each section, which were roughly equidistant. At each hydrographic station, conductivity, temperature and pressure were recorded by means of a Seabird 911+ CTD, mounted on a General Oceanics rosette sampler equipped with 24 10L-Niskin bottles.-26.029999999999973-14.43999999999999820.9627.51Canary CurrentHorizon 2020https://doi.org/10.13039/501100007601817806Sustainable management of mesopelagic resourcesSpanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universitieshttps://doi.org/10.13039/501100004837CTM2015-69392-C3Constraining organic carbon fluxes in an eastern boundary upwelling ecosystem (NW Africa): the role of non-sinking carbon in the context of the biological pump
