©2026 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This RAPID project, a collaboration between C. Heil and E. Hall (Mote Marine Laboratory) and P. Glibert and M. Li (University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science), examined the overarching hypothesis that the massive terrestrial inorganic and organic carbon and nutrient inputs to the southwest Florida coastal and shelf region from Hurricane Ian were priming this oligotrophic system for extensive phytoplankton blooms as well as significant changes in carbon chemistry and nutrient cycling...

Sampling Plan: Four sampling efforts were conducted (May 2023, August 2023, September 2023, October 2024; note CTD data are not reported from 2024), focusing on five stations located from Charlotte Harbor to the adjacent inner West Florida Shelf (WFS) system directly impacted by Hurricane Ian and the resulting plumes using Mote's R/V Mote (42 ft). At each station, water column CTD profiles of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH were made by lowering the CTD to 5 centimeters (cm) below the water surface and allowing to equilibrate for 2 minutes, then lowering the CTD to 0.5 meters (m) above the bottom. Discrete surface and bottom water samples were collected by Niskin bottles during each cast and analyzed for the biological and chemical parameters and rates listed in the accompanying dataset. CTD data were downloaded immediately upon return to the laboratory each day and data were processed within one week of collection (Seasoft V2 2018).
A Sea-Bird CTD unit was used for measurements of Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth. Specific instruments used were:
Seabird 19 plus v2;
43 oxygen sensor,
18 ph sensor;
Par sensor logic;
Eco flurnet puck;
55 controller.
