       Horizontal and vertical removal of organic carbon in the
       equatorial Pacific Ocean: a mass balance assessment.  Deep-Sea
       Research II (in press).

Notes:
      1. For Process cruises 1, 2 and 4, the WHOI custom built HTC/DI-TOC
         analyzer was used.  For Process cruises 5, 6 and 7, the BBSR custom
         built HTC/DI-TOC analyzer was used.

      2. Low carbon water (LCW) prepared using a commercial Milli-Q UV/TOC (R)
         system was used to measure the instrument blank as opposed to the
         carbon free distilled water (CFDW) that was used in EqPac.  For all
         legs, the LCW was assigned a background TOC value of 0 uMC.
