A time-series sediment trapping program in the Sargasso Sea             southeast of Bermuda will be continued for three years.  The                    existing series extends over nine years.  It is by far the                      longest such series and has attracted a number of other projects                to the site.  Together with the hydrographic time series at                     nearby Station "S", it provides a background of temporal                        variability which is likely to be utilized and extended by the                  Global Ocean Flux Study (GOFS).  The value of time-series                       measurements is now widely appreciated.  The series have                        demonstrated the transfer of temporal variability from the                      surface to the deep ocean and its effects on deep-sea chemistry                 and biology.  Continuation of the Bermuda series will be an                     efficient route towards assessing decade-scale trends in the                    transport of anthropogenic components to the deep ocean.  It is                 anticipated that the transition from the present bimonthly                      sampling mode to the expected GOFS sampling mode be facilitated                 by changing to a higher-frequency (weekly or biweekly) sampling                 schedule using sequential-collector traps.  Besides continuing                  present studies on the samples, proposed studies include                        examination of simultaneous time-depth changes in constituent                   ratios and in ontogenetic stages of planktonic foraminifera;                    trends in the deep fluxes of lead and PCB's since 1978; the role                of pteropods in calcium carbonate cycling in the water column;                  and testing for relationships among hydrography, particle fluxes                and CZCS color data.//
