Subject: New EEGLE Data: 1997-00 Trap data

EEGLErs,

I've just added 2 new data sets to the eegle data page.  They were submitted by 
Andy Winkelman.  These data sets contain mass flux and chemical constituent data 
from the EEGLE traps deployed during the EEGLE field years (1997-2000).   Over 
1,200 sediment trap samples were collected as part of the EEGLE program using 
automated sequential samplers (23 samples per deployment) and passive sediment 
traps (1 sample per deployment).

Two versions of the sediment trap master file have been submitted to the EEGLE 
web page.  The first version lists trap locations, dates, and mass flux measurements.  
The second version includes the same information as the first version with the addition 
of chemical constituent data as described above.  Because constituent analysis is 
on-going, the second version will be updated periodically.  The first line of both 
data files will indicate the most recent update.  The information in the data files 
(in addition to mass flux and chemical parameters) includes the station name and 
location (latitude and longitude), the station and sampling depth, the sampling period 
start and end dates, EEGLE OP. No., and any relevant notes or comments. Both files are 
in EXCEL format and are about 400K.

The object names for these data are "Mass Flux" and "Constituents"

They can be accessed on the data page by:

Date Type = Trap
Year = 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000
Cruises = Many
EEGLE Stations = Many
Parameters = Mass_Flux, Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Silica, TSM, Metals, 
Radionuclides, PAH, PCB
Project No. = 8

Greg
