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.
