The investigators will design, build and test a new upper water                 column time-series sediment trap capable of collecting                          replicate samples of settling particles and calibrate it using                  a novel calibration device.  The KATS (Knauer-Asper Time-                       Series) trap will be constructed by mating the existing and                     proven technology of the Knauer MULTITRAP and Honjo rotary                      sample collector which is currently fitted to his Mk VIc                        sediment traps.  The new trap design will provide sampling                      capability not available in any other trapping systems with                     higher sampling resolution and accuracy than previously                         attained.  The use of existing hardware will result in a                        reduced pool of spare parts and supporting equipment for                        programs which plan to use both types of traps (eg. GOFS).                      Calibration of the KATS will be accomplished using a neutrally-                 buoyant sediment trap which will be immune to hydrodynamic                      biases (GOFS sediment trap workshop report, in press).
