Description

DOP Utilization (ATP3, DOP) CTD data
Biogeochemical data collected on transect cruises studying
Dissolved Organic Phosphorus throughout the western Sargasso Sea.
Data are from several cruises over the span 2006 to 2008.

Note the cruise identifiers for the Atlantic Explorer were originally formatted as XYY## (e.g. X0806 was the 6th cruise in 2008).  The data files include cruise IDs of this type.  The vessel operator changed the cruise ID syntax several years after the cruise and the official cruise ID syntax was changed to AEYY##.  For example, AE0810 should be the same cruise as X0810.  One exception for this dataset is that X0804 is cruise ID AE0810.
