Carbon Pump Efficiency

Carbon Pump Efficiency is a quantitative metric that characterizes the proportion of organic carbon fixed by primary producers in the surface ocean that is effectively transported and sequestered in the deep sea, thereby distinguishing it from other carbon cycling indicators by its focus on the efficacy of vertical carbon transfer within the biological pump.
