Biological Oceanographic data collected during the October 2013 dry season A range of physical chemical and biological oceanographic data was collected in southern Kimberley coastal waters during October 2013 (dry season) as part of the WAMSI project (R.V. Solander cruise 5887). Data collected included:CTD (Seabird 911)Underway thermosalinograph (Seabird SBE21), chlorophyll (Wetlabs) and turbidityDissolved and particulate nutrients (NH4, NOx, PO4, Si, DON, DOP, PN, PP, PC)Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC, total alkalinity)Phytoplankton (chlorophyll a, community composition)Zooplankton (dry weight and community compositionPrimary production (P vs I curves by photosynthetron)Community oxygen production and respiration, secondary production Biological Oceanographic data collected during the October 2013 dry season cruise for WAMSI (Project 2.2.2 - Biological Oceanography)

Physical and biological data were collected using fluorometer and CTD casts from the ROGER REVELLE in the Southern Oceans from 12 January 1998 to 03 February 1998. Data were submitted by Dr. Robert O'Malley of the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University with support from the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study / Southern Ocean (JGOFS/Southern Ocean) project.

The chlorophyll data from Booth Bay Harbor in Gulf of Maine were submitted by Dr. Charles Yentsch from Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences. The data was collected aboard several vessels (Atlantis, Crawford, Bear, Chain, Knorr, Tioga, and Oceanographer) and in different sites over a period spanning from September 1956 to June 1982. Reference numbers L00843 thru L00862 represent the different cruises. Only date, latitude/longitude, depth, cruise, and chlorophyll (in mg/m3) are reported.

This collection contains oceanographic station, temperature profile, meteorological, zooplankton species identities and other data. Data were collected from numerous vessels from 1969 through 1998. Data were collected by the Marine Resources Research Institute (MRRI), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and other institutions as part of the Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment and Prediction (MARMAP) program. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Oceanographic Station Data (SD2), the Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT), and other NODC standard data formats.

Ocean biology data were collected in Southern Drake Passage and Scotia Sea during two research cruises supported by NSF awards. These two cruises, namely LMG0402 and NBP0606, were conducted during February to March 2004 and July to August 2006, respectively. Dataset includes concentration of pigments in phytoplankton, particulate organic matter concentration, macronutrients, primary productivity and microbial biomass and productivity.

This dataset contains temperature, pressure/depth, and multiple nutrients values from bottle casts and CTD casts in the Weddell Sea from the R/V MELVILLE during the March 1986 field season. This cruise was funded by the US National Science Foundation as one of several projects funded under the Antarctic Marine Ecosystem Research at the Ice Edge Zone (AMERIEZ) program.

The Nansen bottle/ primary productivity/ pigment, sediment trap; and Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) data were collected in North Atlantic Ocean, NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) as part of Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) project. Data was collected from Ships CAPE HATTERAS and WEATHERBIRD. The data was collected over a period spanning from October 20, 1988 and September 13, 1991. 13 files containing Sediment trap data (368 records); Primary Productivity Data (268 records); Bottle data (from 16 stations and 1,364 records); CTD data (95 stations and 52,635 records); and Pigment data (693 records) was submitted by Dr. Anthony H. Knapp, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC. The Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) is an international and multi- disciplinary study with a primary objective of understanding global oceanic carbon and nutrient cycles. The National Science Foundation has funded two time-series stations as part of JGOFS, one in Hawaii (HOTS) and a second in Bermuda, the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series study (BATS). BATS was funded under NSF Grant # OCE-8801089. This data set is comprised of BATS data primarily from Year 3, with additional data included from BATS years 1 and 2: 1) pigment data (chlorophylls a and b, peridinin, fucoxanthin, lutein, carotene, and others) collected during BATS Year 2 (These are the same data filed under NCEI Accession number 9200088.) 2) Nutrient data (total carbon dioxide, nitrate+nitrite, silicate, and phosphate in μmol/kg) collected as part of BATS Year 3 (Cruises 25 - 36, October 1990 - September 1991). CTD and particulate organic carbon and nitrogen (in μg/kg) and bacteria counts were also provided with these data. 3) Primary productivity data for BATS Years 1-3, Cruises 1-36. The trap array had MULTITRAPS at 150, 200, 300 and 400 meters. The array was allowed to drift for a 72-hour period (drift was considerable, up to 100 km). Total percentages of nitrogen, total organic carbon, and total carbon were utilized to calculate particulate flux in mg/m2/d. Data were collected in the immediate area of the nominal station location at 31 degrees 50'N, 64 degrees 10'W.

These entries contain chlorophyll and phaeophytin data collected in June 1986 in the North West Atlantic aboard the CAPE HATTERAS on the Hyalinus cruise. The data were submitted by Byron K. Sherman of the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography.

Chemical, physical, and other data were collected from bottle and CTD casts from the KNORR and MELVILLE from 18 July 1972 to 10 June 1974. Data were collected by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / Geochemical Ocean Study (IDOE/GEOSECS). Physical parameters include depth, temperature, salinity, and pressure. Chemical parameters include concentrations of oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, and silicate.
