Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) flux in the upper water column in the floating ice area in Chuckchi Sea

Entry ID: 1999-1999_N_OC_OC03_LO_POC

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: A sediment trap system (with open area 0.033 square meter) was deployed in the
floating ice area of Chuckchi Sea (75N,161W) to determine the Particulate
Organic Carbon (POC) and particular flux in summer. For the implementation of
this project, a floating ice station was set up for the operation of deployment
and recovery. Trap system was deployed at Euphotic zone and at 220m water
depth. Euphotic zone depth was calculated based on light quantum data on
L1-1000 datalogger and L1-193SA spherical quantum sensor.
