Abstract

This dataset includes particle fluxes calculated from gel trap images. Images 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).
