DESCRIPTION: 
Central Equatorial Pacific Export Production and CaCO3 Dissolution Data.

Inorganic chemical analysis of five JGOFS piston cores on a meridional
transect at ~140 West across the equator (4N to 5S) in the tropical Pacific,
providing a record of ~1 million years of export production and 
carbonate dissolution data.
