  abstract = {{A} {L}agrangian model is used to evaluate source regions of particles collected in the sediment traps at the {DYFAMED} ({D}ynamique des {F}lux {A}tmospheriques en {M}editerranee) station by tracking particles backwards from {M}arch 1 to {A}ugust 31, 2001. {T}he analysis suggests that source regions depend on the flow fields, the settling speed of the particles, and the deployment depths of the traps. {M}onthly variation is observed in the distribution patterns of source regions, which is caused by the currents. {T}he source regions are located around the traps and up to hundreds of kilometers away. {A}s the settling speed increases with the particle diameters, the distance to the source regions decreases. {T}he vertical flux can be approximately estimated in 1{D} for the particles with diameters larger than 500 mu m. {F}urthermore, traps moored at various depths at the {DYFAMED} can collect particles that originated from different regions in the {L}igurian {S}ea.},
