AE1206 was the third in a series of four cruises for the Trophic BATS project.
On each cruise, sampling was conducted at three stations: the center and edge of a mesoscale eddy and at one station outside of the eddy. Core CTD casts to ~2000 meters and pre-dawn 'Productivity' CTD casts were made at each station.
Cruise information and original data are available from the NSF R2R data catalog.
