 Change history: YYMMDD
    060307: downloaded original data from EDDIES data web site;
            added to OCB database by Cyndy Chandler, OCB DMO;
 
 PI notes:  Mass flux for EDT1 arrays A&B have been estimated from the 
            weight of the bolus since these samples were compromised 
            following a drying oven problem. Estimate was calculated 
            by assuming 89% of total mass transfer to bolus. 

            Sediment trap position data is available separately.

Instruments

Sediment Trap

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sediment Trap

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/33/

Generic Description:

Sediment traps are specially designed containers deployed in the water column for periods of time to collect particles from the water column falling toward the sea floor. 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.
