Dataset: Pigments and Nutrients from ARSV Laurence M. Gould, RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer LMG0402, NBP0606 in the Southern Drake Passage and Scotia Sea from 2004-2006 (BWZ project)

 

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 Feb. to March 2004 and Jul. to Aug 2006, respectively.  Dataset includes concentration of pigments in phytoplankton, particulate organic matter concentration, macronutrients, primary productivity and microbial biomass and productivity

 

As part of the data collection from the collaborative research, this dataset was for the study of plankton community structure and their response to the distribution and natural variability of dissolved iron in Southern Drake Passage and Scotia Sea
