Using SEEP II water column data and sedimentary trap samples, the PI's will address specific questions regarding planktonic production, mortality and downslope transport in the Slope environment. These trap samples were collected before, during and after major mesoscale hydrographic events such ad outbreaks of costal water and intrusion of warm-core rings. The working hypothesis is that much of the material that collects on the slope is advected there from shelf water.

利用SEEP II水柱数据和沉积圈闭样品， PI将解决关于维生素A的具体问题 生产力、死亡率和下坡输运 环境 这些诱捕器样本是在 在重大的中尺度水文事件发生后， 海岸水和暖核环的侵入。 工作 一种假设是，在斜坡上收集的大部分物质 是从陆架水平流到那里的。
