The ship’s Underway system was equipped with an in-line Seabird thermosalinograph to collect sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salinity (SSS) data from 5-7m below sea surface. 

Nutrient samples were run at sea using a Lachat QuickChem 8000 flow-injection analyzer equipped with the following methods:

Phosphate                    31-115-01-1-I
Silicate                                     31-114-27-1-B
Nitrate+Nitrite             31-107-04-1-A
Nitrite                          31-107-05-1-A

Particle (particulate N and C) samples for stable isotope (d15N, d13C) were collected and analyzed following methods in Montoya et al. 2002.
