©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.The Oceanic Flux Program (OFP) time-series began in 1978 at the Hydrostation S hydrographic time-series site (32 05N, 64 15W), located approximately 45 km southeast of Bermuda. The time-series was originally called the SCIFF (Seasonal Changes in Isotopes and Flux of Foraminifera) program.
Location:
1978-1984: 31deg 10min N, 64deg 30min W, 3300m (SCIFF site)
1984-2010: 31deg 50min N, 64deg 10min W, 4500m
2011-present: 31deg 55 N, 64deg 05 W, 4550m
| Dataset | Latest Version Date | Current State |
|---|---|---|
| Primary particle flux data (500, 1500, and 3200m depths) of the OFP sediment trap time-series in the northern Sargasso Sea from 1978-2020 | 2022-10-24 | Final no updates expected |
| Mass flux and concentrations of bulk components (Carbonate, Organic Carbon/Nitrogen, Lithogenics, Opal) and elements in the flux at 500m, 1500m and 3200m depths from the OFP sediment trap time-series in the northern Sargasso Sea | 2022-08-30 | Final no updates expected |
