Water was collected from the CTD rosette and prefiltered through a 0.2 μm Sterivex filter into a triplle rinsed 50 ml falcon tube. Samples were stored at -80 °C, shipped to University of Southern California on dry ice, stored for one year, and then shipped on to UMCES. At UMCES prefiltered (0.2 µm) dissolved nitrate, nitrite, and phosphate from the water samples were analyzed at the Nutrient Analytical Services Laboratory at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL) where nitrite plus nitrate were measured by using the Method EPA 353.2. Phosphate by using method EPA 365.1, and Nitrate with the method ASTM D-7781-14.
