Description: 

Interpolated Data flag: Y (Yes); N (No). Interpolated data refers to carbon biomass data calculated from HPLC pigment data multiplied by the carbon:chlorophyll (C:CHL) ratio of the deepest available data. For instance, for CTD 8, the C:CHL ratio of the 70 m (5% of incident irradiance) sample was multiplied by the HPLC pigment data of the 25 and 50 m samples to obtain C for those samples.
