Domain-specific

• Biological Pump
  • The defining empirical characterization is the Martin curve, derived from the VERTEX (Vertical Transport and Exchange) program that John Martin and colleagues ran in the North Pacific in the 1980s using free-drifting sediment traps at stacked depths

    This sourceThe empirically fitted power-law attenuation of sinking particulate organic carbon with depth. The VERTEX sediment-trap programme as the origin of the Martin curve.

• Marine Snow
  • The defining quantification is the sediment-trap work of the VERTEX program, from which Martin and colleagues (1987) derived the "Martin curve."

    This sourceThe VERTEX sediment-trap programme as the source of the Martin curve. The normalised power-law flux-attenuation fit F(z) = F(100)(z/100)^-b with b of about 0.86.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
