Description

Multi year bottle data 2003-2010
Note: Dataset updated with 2008/EN448 Version 3 data srg/21Mar2013

These data include version 2 data as submitted.
Version 2 NOTES: Version 2 means that Data set has been updated in part of the new data added: (1) 2010 cruises; (2) Previously unavailable Whole cell counts from the previous cruises; (3) Previously unavailable data for Underway stations (mostly date, location).

Data files newly created or updated in this version are indicated with "_v2" in file names.
(BCO-DMO Note: for original files as contributed)

Date of creation: 5/12/2011.
Matlab code used for data merging: GM_read_alex_nuts_BTL_v2.m

No data reported for cruises: OC440 (2007) or EN456 (2008).

Data not sampled or lost are indicated with NaN.
Data not available at the time but supposed to arrive are indicated with the "waiting" flag=-9.99.

Funding:
The cruises from 2003-2004 were supported by NOAA grant NA160P2785 (MERHAB). The cruises from 2005-2010 were jointly funded: NSF grant OCE-0430724, NIEHS grant 1P50-ES01274201 (Woods Hole Center for Oceans and Human Health) and NOAA grant NA06NOS4780245 (GOMTOX).

Methods & Sampling

Hydrographic profiles and water samples were collected with a standard CTD-rosette system with Niskin bottles. Nutrient samples were filtered through Millipore HA filters, placed immediately in a sea water-ice bath for 5–10 min, and frozen at −18°C. Concentrations of NO3+NO2, NH4, Si(OH)4 and PO4 were measured with a Bran Luebbe AA3 AutoAnalyzer using standard techniques.

A. fundyense cells were enumerated from water samples using an oligonucleotide probe and methods described in Anderson et al. (2005). Both A. tamarense and A. fundyense occur in the Gulf of Maine, and these are considered to be varieties of the same species. Available molecular probes cannot distinguish between them, and only detailed analysis of the thecal plates on individual cells can provide this resolution—which is not practical for large numbers of field samples. Accordingly, for the purpose of this study, the name A. fundyense is used to refer to both forms.

CTD Sea-Bird 9

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird 9

Acronym: CTD SBE 9

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/130/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 9 is a type of CTD instrument package. The SBE 9 is the Underwater Unit and is most often combined with the SBE 11 Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) when deployed from a research vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 and SBE 11 is called a SBE 911. The SBE 9 uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 and SBE 4). The SBE 9 CTD can be configured with auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorometer, altimeter, etc.). Note that in most cases, it is more accurate to specify SBE 911 than SBE 9 since it is likely a SBE 11 deck unit was used. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Acronym: CTD SBE 911plus

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0058/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 911 plus is a type of CTD instrument package for continuous measurement of conductivity, temperature and pressure. The SBE 911 plus includes the SBE 9plus Underwater Unit and the SBE 11plus Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) for deployment from a vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 plus and SBE 11 plus is called a SBE 911 plus. The SBE 9 plus uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 plus and SBE 4). The SBE 9 plus CTD can be configured with up to eight auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, light (PAR), light transmission, etc.). more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

Niskin bottle

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Niskin bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0412/

Generic Description:

A Niskin bottle (a next generation water sampler based on the Nansen bottle) is a cylindrical, non-metallic water collection device with stoppers at both ends. The bottles can be attached individually on a hydrowire or deployed in 12, 24, or 36 bottle Rosette systems mounted on a frame and combined with a CTD. Niskin bottles are used to collect discrete water samples for a range of measurements including pigments, nutrients, plankton, etc.
