Images of particles collected in sediment traps for quantitative analysis from multiple platforms from 2016-2017

<p>Samples were collected at the New England shelf break aboard the R/V Endeavor on 3-7 November 2017 (EN572) and 13-18 June 2016 (EN581) and on a transit between Honolulu, Hawaii and Portland, Oregon aboard the R/V Falkor between 24 January-20 February, 2017 (FK170124).&nbsp; Sediment trap collector tubes were deployed on various platform designs, including a neutrally-buoyant sediment trap (NBST), a surface tethered sediment trap (STST), and a Wire Walker (WW) trap.&nbsp; &nbsp;The location, time, duration, depth, and collection types from each trap deployment are listed in Trap Deployment Log.</p>样本采集分别于2017年11月3日至7日（航次编号EN572）、2016年6月13日至18日（航次编号EN581）搭载奋进号（R/V Endeavor）研究船在新英格兰陆架坡折带开展；另于2017年1月24日至2月20日搭载福克号（R/V Falkor）研究船，在夏威夷檀香山至俄勒冈州波特兰的航渡途中完成采样（航次编号FK170124）。沉积物捕获器采集管搭载于多种平台构型，包括中性浮力沉积物捕获器（neutrally-buoyant sediment trap, NBST）、表层系留沉积物捕获器（surface tethered sediment trap, STST）以及钢缆行走器（Wire Walker, WW）捕获器。各捕获器部署的位置、时间、持续时长、布设深度及采集类型详见《捕获器部署日志》（Trap Deployment Log）。
