This dataset contains biological and chemical data collected from 2016-09-25 to 2016-12-10. These data include depth, particulate organic Carbon (POC), and total lipids. The instruments used to collect these data include Mass Spectrometer. These data were collected by Dr Maureen H. Conte of Marine Biological Laboratory and Rut Pedrosa Pamies of Marine Biological Laboratory Ecosystems Center as part of the "Time Series Particle Flux Measurements in the Sargasso Sea (OFP Sargasso Sea)" project and "Oceanic Flux Program (OFP)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-09-04.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
Sinking particles were collected at 1500 m and 3200 m depths by Parflux sediment traps (McLane Labs, Falmouth, MA) on the Oceanic Flux Program (OFP) mooring. Trap cups were filled with 40 ppt deep seawater (concentrated by freezing) poisoned with ultra-trace metal purity HgCl2 (200 mg L-1). OFP methods are detailed in Conte et al. (2001, 2018). Sinking particles analyzed in this study were collected between 25 October 2016 and 10 December 2016 with a biweekly sample resolution.

Lipids were preserved and analyzed using a modification of methods in Conte et al. (2003) (Pedrosa-Pàmies et al., 2018). Briefly, an internal standard mixture (n-C21:0 fatty alcohol, n-C23:0 fatty acid, 5α-cholestane and n-C36:0 alkane) was added to the samples prior to lipid extraction. Lipids were ultrasonically extracted in 2:1 CHCl3-MeOH, transesterified with methanolic HCl and trimethylsilylated using BSTFA with 1% TMCS. The transesterified, trimethylsilyl derivatives were analyzed on an Agilent 7890A GC coupled to a 5975C MS. Compounds were identified by mass spectra and quantified from their FID response relative to the internal standard.
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
