Deployment: MedFlux_SedTrap_2005

MedFlux sampling was carried out near the French JGOFS DYFAMED (DYnamique des Flux Atmospheriques en MEDiterranee) site (43 25 N, 7 52 E) in the Ligurian Sea (northwestern Mediterranean), 52 km off Nice in 2300 meters water depth.  The 2005 mooring was the third deployment of the MedFlux sediment trap mooring at this location.  According to the data documentation, the 2005 mooring was deployed on 4 March 2005 during a Tethys II cruise (the cruise plan indicates the mooring was deployed on 28 February), and recovered on 1 May 2005 during a subsequent Tethys II cruise. The mooring was located at 43.3 North, 7.7 East and had sediment traps at 313, 524, 924, 1918 meters.
