This dataset includes a comprehensive suite of water-quality parameters, including alkalinity, organic alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), short-lived radium isotopes (223Ra and 224Ra), stable isotopes (^13C and ^15N) and dissolved organic carbon. Samples were collected aboard the R/V Hogarth and R/V Weatherbird II during cruises in October 2022, January 2023, and March 2023 as part of the NSF RAPID (OCE-2309659) project following Hurricane Ian.

Water samples were collected using a CTD rosette and processed for the analysis of organic contaminants following standard EPA protocols and previously published methods (Adhikari et al., 2017, 2019; Romero, 2018). Physicochemical parameters were measured with a YSI EXO II multiparameter water-quality sonde (SKU#: 599502-02) attached to the ship’s CTD rosette. The samples collected in Niskin bottles were filtered onto pre-baked GFF filters (0.7 µm), and the filters were stored frozen for particulate organic contaminant analysis. The samples were solvent-extracted and analyzed at the University of South Florida (using modified EPA methods; Romero, 2018) with Gas Chromatography Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS/MS).
