   Paytan, Adina, Kaster, Miriam, 1996.  Benthic Ba fluxes in the central
   Equatorial Pacific, implications for the ocean Ba cycle.  Earth and
   Planetary Science Letters, 142 (3-4), p439-450.

 DMO notes:
 The 0.0 depth interval is defined by the submitting PI as "bottom water".
 Data submitted without specific event, station or core numbers thus the 
 station locations can only be defined by nominal values of latitude and 
 longitude.
