Sediment trap flux measurements for the Hawaii Ocean Time-Series (HOT) project from December 1988 to November 2021 at Station ALOHA
Abstract:
Particle flux measurements from the Hawaii Ocean Time-Series (HOT). Particle flux was measured at a standard reference depth of 150 meters using multiple cylindrical particle interceptor traps deployed on a free-floating array for approximately 60 hours during each cruise. Sediment trap design and collection methods are described in Winn et al. (1991). Samples were analyzed for particulate carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and silica. Typically six traps are analyzed for particulate carbon and particulate nitrogen, three for particulate phosphorus, and another three traps for particulate silica.
