    Particle fluxes, south central Black Sea : 1982-1985
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1987-05) Honjo, Susumu ; Manganini, Steven J. ; Asper, Vernon L. ; Hay, Bernward J. ; Karowe, Amy
    Annual particle fluxes were measured by sediment traps deployed at a station about 40 km north of Amasra, Southern Black Sea, by an international team of oceanographers from Germany, Turkey, and the United States. This experiment continuously monitored oceanic particle flux for two and a half years from October 28, 1982 to April 6, 1985 at approximately two-week intervals at 250 m and 1200 m below the surface using 1.2 m2 Mark 5-12 time-series sediment traps. The water depth at this station was about 2,200 m and both traps were situated within the anoxic layer of the Black Sea. The collected flux samples were analyzed at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to document the basic sedimentary characteristics using a quarter of each sample split. In the first data file from this experiment, total mass, carbonate, noncombustible, combustible, opal (biogenic silica), organic carbon, and organic nitrogen fluxes data are presented in bar graphs and detailed tables, in unit samples covering a two-week period at each depth. The Black Sea Sedimentation Data File is intended to provide source data on particle fluxes from this unique ocean environment for further investigation and for planning advanced research programs.

    Particle fluxes, Northeastern Nordic Seas, 1983-1986
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1987-04) Honjo, Susumu ; Manganini, Steven J. ; Karowe, Amy ; Woodward, Bonnie L.
    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.
