Working of the mixed‐layer pump: shoaling of the mixed‐layer depth z m results in detrainment of particle‐laden surface waters, that is, export of particulate organic carbon (POC) stock from the mixed layer (a), whereas deepening of z m results in entrainment of underlying waters with low POC concentration into the mixed layer (b).
