GOM coastal waters (GOMCOAST): Production of TEP (transparent exopolymers) and CSP (Coomassie stained particles) as a function of oil

Testing the effect WAF (water accomodated fraction) on TEP and CSP. Samples were collected as a time series in the Control, WAF, and the WAF silicon tube treatment. Qualitative, but not quantitative samples were also collected from the sea surface microlayer and the sunken marine snow.本研究测试了水容分率（water accomodated fraction，WAF）对TEP与CSP的影响。实验以时间序列方式采集了对照组、WAF组以及WAF硅管处理组的样本；同时从海面微层与沉降海洋雪中采集了定性而非定量的样品。
