Sediment traps were deployed to sample vertical fluxes of particulate matter both
immediately above and within the nepheloid layer on the continental slope and rise of the …

The number distribution of particles between 0.02 and 8 μm was measured using a
transmission electron microscope. The accumulative particle size distribution is given by the …

In the open ocean, the vertical particle flux is largely determined by the primary productivity
of the euphotic zone. Primary productivity in turn is a function of nutrient concentration. Areas …

Regeneration rates of labile elements and biogenic components were measured at two sites
in the Guatemala Basin by comparing fluxes of material caught in sediment traps to fluxes of …

The fate of sediment seaward of river mouths involves at least four stages: supply via
plumes; initial deposition; resuspension and transport by marine processes; and long-term …

Abstract Particulate matter, divided into< 1, 1 to 53, and> 53-μm size fractions, was obtained
in profile from the upper 400 m at 2° 47′ N, 8° 51′ W in the equatorial Atlantic by large …

Abstract The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) conducts a comprehensive
multidisciplinary monitoring program in Massachusetts Bay, Cape Cod Bay, and Boston …

Since 1978, the Oceanic Flux Program (OFP) time-series sediment traps have measured
particle fluxes in the deep Sargasso Sea near Bermuda. There is currently a 20+ yr flux …

We investigated seasonal and tidal-monthly, suspended particulate matter (SPM) dynamics
in the Columbia River estuary from May to December 1997 using acoustic backscatter (ABS) …
