Eadie" Subject: Trapping Thanks to the efforts of Andy Winkelman, Margaret Lansing, our boat and Marine Instrument crews we have just recovered all 11 sequencing traps from our Oct - May EEGLE deployments and all appeared to have operated successfully. We have 23 - nine day interval samples from each location labelled T# on our web page in: (http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/eegle/cruises/tmp/moorings-5.98.gif) Looking at the traps, there were several 'events' in addition to the March 10 - April one that we actively sampled. Some were local to one trap, others were synchronous in several or all locations. The largest flux in the center of the southern basin was in the interval Jan 9 - 18 and didn't show up in any of the coastal traps. Modeling is going to be fun !! Samples are CHCl3 - poisoned. Currently we plan to split ALL ~250 samples into >60 um and <60 um fractions and analyze ALL for: . mass flux . organic and inorganic Carbon . Nitrogen . total and available P and sub-sets for: . BioSi . Radionuclides (Th-234, Be-7, Cs-137, ??) . Chlorophyll (Fluoromrtrically) . Congener specific PCB Does anyone have any other interests in acquiring subsamples ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Brian J.
