Quantifying relative affinities of Po and Pb in different populations of marine particulate matter is of great importance in utilizing Po as a tracer for carbon cycling. We collected and analyzed water samples for the concentrations of dissolved and total Po and Pb from the upper 600 m of the water column at Bermuda Timeseries Study site (September 1999 to September 2000) to investigate their s...
