Seventy-nine particle. flux samples were collected from 1983 to 1986
using 7 automated time-series sediment traps at 6 stations distributed in
the northern and eastern portion of the Nordic Seas as part of a
German/U.S. joint program on arctic sedimentation studies. Each sample
represents either one month or two weeks of sedimentation at
approximately 400 m above the sea floor. In this data file the results
of laboratory analysis conducted at the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution, U.S.A. of the main sedimentological criteria: total mass,
carbonate, opal, combustible, organic carbon, nitrogen, and lithogenic
mass are presented in both tabular and histogram form. Results from the
southern and western portion of the Nordic Seas will be published as they
become available.
