Because only a few sediment trap experiments report data for much more than one year s duration, we have only a glimpse at the importance of interannual variability in the productivity of alkenone-synthesizing species. Reports do... 

This value agrees quite well with a measured PCB deposition rate of 4.9pgrrr2yr1 from sediment-trap experiments, which corresponds to a particulate deposition rate of c.3.1 gm 2yr1 ...
