©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.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 P1 designation refers to Period 1, the first deployment of the MedFLux sediment trap mooring at this location. The P1 mooring was deployed during a Tethys II cruise in early March 2003, and recovered on 9 May 2003 during a Seward Johnson II cruise. The P1 mooring was located at 43.3 North, 7.7 East and had sediment traps at 238 and 711 meters.
