Data files obtained in the manuscript 'Spatial inhomogeneities in the sedimentation of biogenic particles in ocean flows: analysis in the Benguela region'

Abstract

Sedimentation of particles in the ocean leads to inhomogeneous horizontal distributions at depth. The present dataset contains density and trajectory data for particle sedimentation computed from the velocity field given by a ROMS simulation at 1/12 x 1/12 degrees of horizontal resolution in the region of Benguela (south east Atlantic). Direct particle sampling as well as the result of a geometrical approach are included.
