        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Location, depths and timing: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Two deep ocean mooring arrays were deployed at about 34N (depth 
            to seafloor: 5,261 m and 5,083 m, for phase 1 and 2) and 48N (depth 
            to seafloor: 4,418 m and 4,451 m). Table 1 gives more detailed information 
            on mooring locations, trap depths and names of ships that were used 
            for deployment and recovery. Three PARFLUX Mark 7G-13 time-series 
            sediment traps with 13 rotary collectors on each were deployed on 
            both moorings for a total of 6 traps. At each of the stations, traps 
            were moored at approximately the same depth relative to the surface 
            and the sea- floor (for the deepest trap); 1 km and 2 km from the 
            surface and 0.7 km above bottom.

          Arrays were deployed in March and April 1989, recovered and redeployed 
          in September 1989, and totally recovered in April 1990 (Table 1). During 
          the 376-day deployment (including 20 days of hiatus in the middle), 
          each sediment trap was opened and closed 26 times, providing continuous 
          time-series sampling at 14-day intervals, except for two periods. Table 
          2 lists open/close schedules for which all the traps were uniformly 
          programmed during the experiment. An independent monitoring mechanism 
          installed with each trap (Honjo and Doherty, 1988) confirmed that the 
          entire program was executed correctly and on schedule.

        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Time-series sediment traps: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Each sediment trap had an aperture of 0.5 m2, covered by baffles 
            with 25mm diameter cells with the aspect ratio of 2.5. The included 
            cone angle was 42 degrees and the structural frame was built of welded 
            titanium The opening and closing of all 6 traps was synchronized with 
            an error of less than one minute. The sample containers, 13 for each 
            trap, were filled with in situ deep sea water were collected by a 
            30 liter Niskin bottle prior to the deployment. Analytical grade formalin 
            (S. Wakeham; personal communication, 1988) was added to make a 3% 
            solution buffered with 0.1% sodium borate. Each of the 13 sample containers 
            was completely filled with this sea water solution with preservative 
            before the deployment of a trap. Individual sample containers were 
            mechanically sealed from the ambient water before and after each collecting 
            period (Honjo and Doherty, 1988). 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; 
        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Mooring array: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; The mooring design was based on the PARFLUX Sediment Trap Mooring 
            Dynamics Package that has been used by us since 1979 (Honjo et al., 
            1992). A detailed design, parts listing and tension calculation of 
            the NABE mooring array is available in Manganini and Krishfield, 1992, 
            Cruise Report. The arrays were designed to maintain an average of 
            180 kg of vertical tension throughout the tautline, with a total buoyancy 
            of 1,114 kg that was balanced with a 1,590 kg (in-water weight) cast-iron 
            anchor. Sediment traps were attached to a mooring in-line with three 
            1-m polyethylene-jacketed bridles. The automatic collection mechanism 
            (Honjo and Doherty, 1988) of the 6 sediment traps worked flawlessly 
            throughout the duration of the experiment and provided us with a total 
            of 156 samples each of which represents an individual key to the time-space 
            matrix for the NABE experiment. 
      &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;
      &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; 
      &amp;lt;h3&amp;gt; B. Laboratory Analysis&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;
      &amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;
        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Pre-analysis treatment of samples: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; We measured the pH in supernatant in sample containers immediately 
            after recovery of traps (Manganini and Krishfield, 1992, Cruise Report). 
            Sample containers were then refrigerated on board at approximately 
            2 to 4 degree C. Particle samples in (original) 250 ml, polyethylene 
            centrifuging sample containers were transported to Woods Hole under 
            refrigeration at approximately 1 to 2 degree C. We identified no swimmers 
            from all samples collected by our experiment. The impact of swimmers, 
            if any, was relatively small; it appears that they were all included 
            with the &amp;gt;1 mm fractions. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; 
        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Supernatant analysis: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; In the shore laboratory, first the liquid in a sample container 
            was decanted and then filtered through a 0.45 um pore size Nucleopore 
            filter leaving approximately 1/3 of the original volume. About 50 
            ml of filtered liquid was then analyzed for total N, NO2, NO3, NH4, 
            P, PO4 and SiO2 using an automatic nutrient analyzer (e.g. Grasshoff 
            et al. 1983). We regarded all excess quantities above the ambient 
            concentration as being dissolved from the trapped particles while 
            stored in situ before the recovery and added to the particle fluxes 
            after being stochastically converted to solids. The remaining liquid 
            in the sampling containers was used as rinse water in the processing 
            of the particulate portion in each specific sample. When additional 
            rinse water was required during the course of analysis, for example, 
            for sample splitting we used filtered and buffered deep Sargasso Sea 
            water containing 3% formalin. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; 
        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Water sieving: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Particle samples were water-sieved through a 1-mm Nitex mesh. This 
            was necessary to maintain precision during splitting of the major 
            portion of the sediment that was &amp;lt;1 mm. Common particles in the &amp;gt;1 
            mm fraction were large aggregates and fragmented gelatinous zooplankton. 
            A sample caught in the 1 mm mesh was then re-suspended in the original 
            seawater, stirred gently and poured onto a grid-printed, 47-mm Nucleopore 
            filter with 2-um pore size, while applying gentle vacuum suction. 
            While a sample on a filter was wet, the filter with the &amp;gt;1 mm fraction 
            was cut into 4 equal pieces along the printed grid by a Teflon-coated 
            blade; each aliquot was then immediately put back into the filtered 
            original water for storage. When a &amp;gt;1 mm sample was too small to split, 
            it was dried and homogenized by pulverization. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Sediment that passed through the 1 mm mesh was further water- sieved 
            through a 62-um Nitex sieve. Each fraction was split into 1/4 aliquots 
            and then into 1/40 aliquots by a rotating wet- sediment splitter with 
            4 and 10 splitting heads (Honjo, 1980). The average error during the 
            splitting of NABE samples into 4 or 10 aliquots was 3.7% for the &amp;lt;1 
            mm fraction. Wet splitting of the trap-collected sample is justified 
            for multi-disciplinary research including biocoenosis studies. Once 
            particle samples are dried, each becomes inseparable and unidentifiable. 
            Consequently, biocoenosis research such as picking up foraminifera 
            tests or identifying diatom frustules becomes impossible. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; 
        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Total dry mass measurement: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Dry mass was determined by weighing two 1/4 aliquots of &amp;gt;1 mm (whose 
            flux was usually insignificant) and three 1/10 aliquots of &amp;lt;1 mm samples 
            on pre-weighed 47 mm, 0.45 um Nucleopore filters. Before weighing, 
            the samples were rinsed 3 times with distilled water, dried in an 
            oven at 60 deg. C for 24 hours and cooled in a desiccator for 4 hours. 
            Total flux was calculated from dry weight of the above aliquots divided 
            by aperture area of the trap and the time it was opened. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; 
        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Sedimentary component analyses: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; The dried sample was pulverized and homogenized, then the two size 
            fractions were recombined proportionally and analyzed with respect 
            to concentrations of: 
          &amp;lt;pre&amp;gt; 

       a)   Carbonate: as CaCO3
       b)   Biogenic Opal
       c)   Organic carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen in the decalcified
               fraction
       d)   Phosphorus

&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;
          a) Carbonate content was determined by a method based on a vacuum-gasometric 
          technique developed by Ostermann, et al. (1989). A preweighed sample 
          is introduced into a sealed reaction vessel containing concentrated 
          phosphoric acid. The pressure due to the evolution of CO2 gas is proportional 
          to the carbonate content when calibrated with appropriate standards 
          and was recorded by a transducer. The results were calculated and reported 
          as carbonate percent in the total sample. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; b) Biogenic opal was estimated from particulate, reactive Si, selectively 
            leaching decalcified samples in a sodium carbonate solution (Eggimann, 
            et al., 1980) and converting the Si content to SiO2 fluxes. A preweighed 
            sample of approximately 10 mg along with 10 ml of 1 M Na2CO3 was sealed 
            in a Teflon container. The samples were placed in a shaker bath at 
            90 deg. C for 3 hours and then filtered through a 47-mm-diameter, 
            0.45 um pore size Nucleopore filter using an all-plastic filtering 
            apparatus. The filtrate at room temperature was neutralized with 0.2 
            N HCl using methyl orange as an indicator. After appropriate dilution, 
            content of Si was determined spectrophotometrically (Strickland and 
            Parsons, 1972). The Si content was then converted to SiO2 and reported 
            as particulate opal flux. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; c) Organic carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen were analyzed using a Perkin-Elmer 
            Elemental Analyzer Model 240C. Preweighed samples on precombusted 
            glass fiber filters were decalcified using 1N phosphoric acid. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; d) Reactive (biogenic) phosphorus content was determined by the 
            Solorzano and Sharp method that was based on the dissolution of phosphorus 
            by an acid after ashing, using MgSO4 as an oxidant. A preweighed sample 
            was placed into a glass centrifuge tube along with 2 ml of 0.017 M 
            MgSO4 and was dried at 90 degree C. The centrifuge tube containing 
            the sample was ashed at 500 deg. C for 2 hours. After cooling, 5 ml 
            of 0.2 M HCl was added and, with the centrifuge tube capped, was heated 
            at 80 deg. C for 30 min. At room temperature, 5 ml of distilled H2O 
            with one ml of reagent (Strickland and Parsons, 1972) was added and 
            the centrifuge tube was shaken in a vortex shaker, then centrifuged. 
            The concentration of phosphorus was determined spectrophotometrically 
            in the supernatant and the results were reported as particulate phosphorus 
            flux. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Using the reported method, the lithogenic particles were too small 
            to detect and were usually within the analytical error. 
      &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;
      &amp;lt;h3&amp;gt; C. Restoration of dissolved components to particulate flux&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;
      The dissolution of collected particles in a bottle may occur as soon as 
      particles arrive in the bottle while it is open, or later when it is sealed. 
      Assuming that all dissolved portions remained in the recovered bottle, we 
      restored the dissolved components of Si, P and N by analyzing the supernatants 
      in sample bottles. We assumed that the elevated concentration above the 
      sea water initially used to fill the bottles was caused by dissolved components. 
      During the deployment of a trap, the sample bottles were open to the water 
      column only for the duration of collecting periods. While a bottle was open, 
      the bottle water which was placed in the bottle before deployment is exchanged 
      with ambient water. In case the nutrient concentration of the initial bottle 
      water is not equal to that of the ambient water, a correction had to be 
      made; we assumed that one half of the initial water was diluted by the ambient 
      water while the bottle was open. In practice, the effect on calculating 
      particle flux by the difference of nutrients in the initial sea water was 
      within analytical error.

                            <gco:CharacterString>The United States Joint Global Ocean Flux Study was a national component of international JGOFS and an integral part of global climate change research.
The U.S. launched the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) in the late 1980s to study the ocean carbon cycle. An ambitious goal was set to understand the controls on the concentrations and fluxes of carbon and associated nutrients in the ocean. A new field of ocean biogeochemistry emerged with an emphasis on quality measurements of carbon system parameters and interdisciplinary field studies of the biological, chemical and physical process which control the ocean carbon cycle. As we studied ocean biogeochemistry, we learned that our simple views of carbon uptake and transport were severely limited, and a new &quot;wave&quot; of ocean science was born. U.S. JGOFS has been supported primarily by the U.S. National Science Foundation in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Department of Energy and the Office of Naval Research. U.S. JGOFS, ended in 2005 with the conclusion of the Synthesis and Modeling Project (SMP).</gco:CharacterString>

                            <gco:CharacterString>&lt;p&gt;One of the first major activities of JGOFS was a multinational pilot project, North Atlantic Bloom Experiment (NABE), carried out along longitude 20° West in 1989 through 1991. The United States participated in 1989 only, with the April deployment of two sediment trap arrays at 48° and 34° North. Three process-oriented cruises where conducted, April through July 1989, from R/V &lt;em&gt;Atlantis II&lt;/em&gt; and R/V &lt;em&gt;Endeavor&lt;/em&gt; focusing on sites at 46° and 59° North. Coordination of the NABE process-study cruises was supported by NSF-OCE award # 8814229. Ancillary sea surface mapping and AXBT profiling data were collected from NASA's P3 aircraft for a series of one day flights, April through June 1989.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A detailed description of NABE and the initial synthesis of the complete program data collection efforts appear in: Topical Studies in Oceanography, JGOFS: The North Atlantic Bloom Experiment (1993), Deep-Sea Research II, Volume 40 No. 1/2.&lt;/p&gt;

        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Location, depths and timing: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Two deep ocean mooring arrays were deployed at about 34N (depth 
            to seafloor: 5,261 m and 5,083 m, for phase 1 and 2) and 48N (depth 
            to seafloor: 4,418 m and 4,451 m). Table 1 gives more detailed information 
            on mooring locations, trap depths and names of ships that were used 
            for deployment and recovery. Three PARFLUX Mark 7G-13 time-series 
            sediment traps with 13 rotary collectors on each were deployed on 
            both moorings for a total of 6 traps. At each of the stations, traps 
            were moored at approximately the same depth relative to the surface 
            and the sea- floor (for the deepest trap); 1 km and 2 km from the 
            surface and 0.7 km above bottom.

          Arrays were deployed in March and April 1989, recovered and redeployed 
          in September 1989, and totally recovered in April 1990 (Table 1). During 
          the 376-day deployment (including 20 days of hiatus in the middle), 
          each sediment trap was opened and closed 26 times, providing continuous 
          time-series sampling at 14-day intervals, except for two periods. Table 
          2 lists open/close schedules for which all the traps were uniformly 
          programmed during the experiment. An independent monitoring mechanism 
          installed with each trap (Honjo and Doherty, 1988) confirmed that the 
          entire program was executed correctly and on schedule.

        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Time-series sediment traps: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Each sediment trap had an aperture of 0.5 m2, covered by baffles 
            with 25mm diameter cells with the aspect ratio of 2.5. The included 
            cone angle was 42 degrees and the structural frame was built of welded 
            titanium The opening and closing of all 6 traps was synchronized with 
            an error of less than one minute. The sample containers, 13 for each 
            trap, were filled with in situ deep sea water were collected by a 
            30 liter Niskin bottle prior to the deployment. Analytical grade formalin 
            (S. Wakeham; personal communication, 1988) was added to make a 3% 
            solution buffered with 0.1% sodium borate. Each of the 13 sample containers 
            was completely filled with this sea water solution with preservative 
            before the deployment of a trap. Individual sample containers were 
            mechanically sealed from the ambient water before and after each collecting 
            period (Honjo and Doherty, 1988). 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; 
        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Mooring array: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; The mooring design was based on the PARFLUX Sediment Trap Mooring 
            Dynamics Package that has been used by us since 1979 (Honjo et al., 
            1992). A detailed design, parts listing and tension calculation of 
            the NABE mooring array is available in Manganini and Krishfield, 1992, 
            Cruise Report. The arrays were designed to maintain an average of 
            180 kg of vertical tension throughout the tautline, with a total buoyancy 
            of 1,114 kg that was balanced with a 1,590 kg (in-water weight) cast-iron 
            anchor. Sediment traps were attached to a mooring in-line with three 
            1-m polyethylene-jacketed bridles. The automatic collection mechanism 
            (Honjo and Doherty, 1988) of the 6 sediment traps worked flawlessly 
            throughout the duration of the experiment and provided us with a total 
            of 156 samples each of which represents an individual key to the time-space 
            matrix for the NABE experiment. 
      &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;
      &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; 
      &amp;lt;h3&amp;gt; B. Laboratory Analysis&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;
      &amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;
        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Pre-analysis treatment of samples: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; We measured the pH in supernatant in sample containers immediately 
            after recovery of traps (Manganini and Krishfield, 1992, Cruise Report). 
            Sample containers were then refrigerated on board at approximately 
            2 to 4 degree C. Particle samples in (original) 250 ml, polyethylene 
            centrifuging sample containers were transported to Woods Hole under 
            refrigeration at approximately 1 to 2 degree C. We identified no swimmers 
            from all samples collected by our experiment. The impact of swimmers, 
            if any, was relatively small; it appears that they were all included 
            with the &amp;gt;1 mm fractions. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; 
        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Supernatant analysis: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; In the shore laboratory, first the liquid in a sample container 
            was decanted and then filtered through a 0.45 um pore size Nucleopore 
            filter leaving approximately 1/3 of the original volume. About 50 
            ml of filtered liquid was then analyzed for total N, NO2, NO3, NH4, 
            P, PO4 and SiO2 using an automatic nutrient analyzer (e.g. Grasshoff 
            et al. 1983). We regarded all excess quantities above the ambient 
            concentration as being dissolved from the trapped particles while 
            stored in situ before the recovery and added to the particle fluxes 
            after being stochastically converted to solids. The remaining liquid 
            in the sampling containers was used as rinse water in the processing 
            of the particulate portion in each specific sample. When additional 
            rinse water was required during the course of analysis, for example, 
            for sample splitting we used filtered and buffered deep Sargasso Sea 
            water containing 3% formalin. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; 
        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Water sieving: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Particle samples were water-sieved through a 1-mm Nitex mesh. This 
            was necessary to maintain precision during splitting of the major 
            portion of the sediment that was &amp;lt;1 mm. Common particles in the &amp;gt;1 
            mm fraction were large aggregates and fragmented gelatinous zooplankton. 
            A sample caught in the 1 mm mesh was then re-suspended in the original 
            seawater, stirred gently and poured onto a grid-printed, 47-mm Nucleopore 
            filter with 2-um pore size, while applying gentle vacuum suction. 
            While a sample on a filter was wet, the filter with the &amp;gt;1 mm fraction 
            was cut into 4 equal pieces along the printed grid by a Teflon-coated 
            blade; each aliquot was then immediately put back into the filtered 
            original water for storage. When a &amp;gt;1 mm sample was too small to split, 
            it was dried and homogenized by pulverization. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Sediment that passed through the 1 mm mesh was further water- sieved 
            through a 62-um Nitex sieve. Each fraction was split into 1/4 aliquots 
            and then into 1/40 aliquots by a rotating wet- sediment splitter with 
            4 and 10 splitting heads (Honjo, 1980). The average error during the 
            splitting of NABE samples into 4 or 10 aliquots was 3.7% for the &amp;lt;1 
            mm fraction. Wet splitting of the trap-collected sample is justified 
            for multi-disciplinary research including biocoenosis studies. Once 
            particle samples are dried, each becomes inseparable and unidentifiable. 
            Consequently, biocoenosis research such as picking up foraminifera 
            tests or identifying diatom frustules becomes impossible. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; 
        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Total dry mass measurement: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Dry mass was determined by weighing two 1/4 aliquots of &amp;gt;1 mm (whose 
            flux was usually insignificant) and three 1/10 aliquots of &amp;lt;1 mm samples 
            on pre-weighed 47 mm, 0.45 um Nucleopore filters. Before weighing, 
            the samples were rinsed 3 times with distilled water, dried in an 
            oven at 60 deg. C for 24 hours and cooled in a desiccator for 4 hours. 
            Total flux was calculated from dry weight of the above aliquots divided 
            by aperture area of the trap and the time it was opened. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; 
        &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Sedimentary component analyses: 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; The dried sample was pulverized and homogenized, then the two size 
            fractions were recombined proportionally and analyzed with respect 
            to concentrations of: 
          &amp;lt;pre&amp;gt; 

       a)   Carbonate: as CaCO3
       b)   Biogenic Opal
       c)   Organic carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen in the decalcified
               fraction
       d)   Phosphorus

&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;
          a) Carbonate content was determined by a method based on a vacuum-gasometric 
          technique developed by Ostermann, et al. (1989). A preweighed sample 
          is introduced into a sealed reaction vessel containing concentrated 
          phosphoric acid. The pressure due to the evolution of CO2 gas is proportional 
          to the carbonate content when calibrated with appropriate standards 
          and was recorded by a transducer. The results were calculated and reported 
          as carbonate percent in the total sample. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; b) Biogenic opal was estimated from particulate, reactive Si, selectively 
            leaching decalcified samples in a sodium carbonate solution (Eggimann, 
            et al., 1980) and converting the Si content to SiO2 fluxes. A preweighed 
            sample of approximately 10 mg along with 10 ml of 1 M Na2CO3 was sealed 
            in a Teflon container. The samples were placed in a shaker bath at 
            90 deg. C for 3 hours and then filtered through a 47-mm-diameter, 
            0.45 um pore size Nucleopore filter using an all-plastic filtering 
            apparatus. The filtrate at room temperature was neutralized with 0.2 
            N HCl using methyl orange as an indicator. After appropriate dilution, 
            content of Si was determined spectrophotometrically (Strickland and 
            Parsons, 1972). The Si content was then converted to SiO2 and reported 
            as particulate opal flux. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; c) Organic carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen were analyzed using a Perkin-Elmer 
            Elemental Analyzer Model 240C. Preweighed samples on precombusted 
            glass fiber filters were decalcified using 1N phosphoric acid. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; d) Reactive (biogenic) phosphorus content was determined by the 
            Solorzano and Sharp method that was based on the dissolution of phosphorus 
            by an acid after ashing, using MgSO4 as an oxidant. A preweighed sample 
            was placed into a glass centrifuge tube along with 2 ml of 0.017 M 
            MgSO4 and was dried at 90 degree C. The centrifuge tube containing 
            the sample was ashed at 500 deg. C for 2 hours. After cooling, 5 ml 
            of 0.2 M HCl was added and, with the centrifuge tube capped, was heated 
            at 80 deg. C for 30 min. At room temperature, 5 ml of distilled H2O 
            with one ml of reagent (Strickland and Parsons, 1972) was added and 
            the centrifuge tube was shaken in a vortex shaker, then centrifuged. 
            The concentration of phosphorus was determined spectrophotometrically 
            in the supernatant and the results were reported as particulate phosphorus 
            flux. 
          &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Using the reported method, the lithogenic particles were too small 
            to detect and were usually within the analytical error. 
      &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;
      &amp;lt;h3&amp;gt; C. Restoration of dissolved components to particulate flux&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;
      The dissolution of collected particles in a bottle may occur as soon as 
      particles arrive in the bottle while it is open, or later when it is sealed. 
      Assuming that all dissolved portions remained in the recovered bottle, we 
      restored the dissolved components of Si, P and N by analyzing the supernatants 
      in sample bottles. We assumed that the elevated concentration above the 
      sea water initially used to fill the bottles was caused by dissolved components. 
      During the deployment of a trap, the sample bottles were open to the water 
      column only for the duration of collecting periods. While a bottle was open, 
      the bottle water which was placed in the bottle before deployment is exchanged 
      with ambient water. In case the nutrient concentration of the initial bottle 
      water is not equal to that of the ambient water, a correction had to be 
      made; we assumed that one half of the initial water was diluted by the ambient 
      water while the bottle was open. In practice, the effect on calculating 
      particle flux by the difference of nutrients in the initial sea water was 
      within analytical error.

In general a sediment trap has a jar at the bottom to collect the sample and a broad funnel-shaped opening at the top with baffles to keep out very large objects and help prevent the funnel from clogging. This designation is used when the specific type of sediment trap was not specified by the contributing investigator.
