For Methods protocol: 
       Refer to  North Atlantic Bloom Experiment (NABE) methods document,
 particularly the sections:
       A.2. Time-series sediment traps
       A.3. Mooring array

         Laboratory methodology described in NABE has been modified.  
         Contact Steve Manganini (smanganini@whoi.edu) for details.

Notes:   1.  Each sediment trap had an aperture of 0.5 square meters.

         2.  The closing date and time of each cup is the opening date and time
             of each succeeding cup.
