| During a six-year (1978-1984) sediment trap study in the northwestern Mediterranean off the coast of Monaco, large variations in mass flux and carbon flux through 100 and 150 m were observed with maximum flux values occurring in late winter or early spring and minimum flux in late summer. Total particulate carbon flux was linearly related to mass flux. During March through October total particulate carbon flux represented, on average, approximately 7 % of the mass flux, whereas from November through February it averaged about 4.7 %. From recent organic carbon content data collected in the same region, it was estimated that approximately 5 % of the total mass flux through 100 and 150 m in calm seas was organic carbon (calm seas were prevalent during March... |
