Abstract
Results from 1110 paired CaCO 3 and bulk density measurements from cores raised from the eastern equatorial Pacific permit formulation of well constrained CaCO 3-DBD relationships for that region. The cores lie along a N-S transect at 110°W from 10°N to 3°S underneath the different currents of the equatorial current system and along an E-W transect from 110° to 90°W, at approximately 3°S. Two distinct, crescent-shaped dry bulk density-CaCO 3 relationships are observed. For equal CaCO 3 percentages, sediments from those sites at 110°W, which are situated in the high productivity zone, have lower dry bulk density. Cores raised from closer to shore have relatively greater DBD.
