Abstract

This dataset contains amino acid compound specific concentrations in micronekton collected during R/V Kilo Moana cruises around the ALOHA observatory (KM1407, KM1418, KM2011, and a few other undocumented cruises). For more information about the ALOHA observatory see: http://aco-ssds.soest.hawaii.edu/. These data were published in Gloeckler et al (2018), Supporting Information file lno10762-sup-0001-suppinfo1.xlsx
