Abstract

Mass flux, organic carbon, organic nitrogen, and biogenic silica flux data from sediment traps in the Ross Sea, 2001-2006.

Cite Dataset

Moorings were deployed at two locations, named Callinectes and Xiphius.  Deployments were in late December, and recovery in early February. Cup collection duration was 3 days. 2002-2003 moorings were lost and have no data. These data were published in Smith et al (2011).
