HONJO 9311199 The scientific team on this project, consisting of researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Oregon State University, Brown University, will conduct a series of field studies during the Arabian Sea Process Study (ASPS) to determine fluxes of particulate in the water column, at the sediment-water interface, and within the topmost sediments of the seafloor. To measure particle fluxes in the water column, the team will deploy several sediment traps at various depths at five mooring stations located along a transect from the highly productive western margin of the Arabian Sea to the relatively oligotrophic central basin. Similarly, to measure depositional fluxes at the seafloor and burial rates, a program of high-quality sediment coring and carbon 14 dating will be conducted at the same five stations. This work will provide fundamental data on fluxes within the Arabian Sea Study area as well as samples of trap and coring particulate matter useful to other ASPS investigators.

HONJO 9311199 该项目的科学团队由来自伍兹霍尔海洋研究所、俄勒冈州立大学、布朗大学的研究人员组成，他们将在阿拉伯海过程研究（ASPS）期间进行一系列实地研究，以确定水柱中、沉积物-水界面以及海底最顶层沉积物内的颗粒通量。 为了测量水柱中的颗粒通量，该团队将在五个系泊站的不同深度部署多个沉积物捕集器，这些系泊站位于从阿拉伯海高产西缘到相对贫营养的中央盆地的横断面上。 同样，为了测量海底沉积通量和埋藏率，将在这五个站进行高质量沉积物取芯和碳 14 测年计划。 这项工作将提供阿拉伯海研究区域内通量的基本数据以及对其他 ASPS 研究人员有用的捕集和取芯颗粒物质样本。
