Dataset: Organic matter and nutrients; del-15N, del-13C, POC, POM from R/V Oceanus OC404-01, OC404-04 in the Sargasso Sea from 2004-2004 (EDDIES project)

Organic matter and nutrients including del-15N, del-13C, POC and POM from EDDIES Oceanus cruises are reported by Dennis Hansell of the Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science (RSMAS).

Methodology: none provided with data; see Li and Hansell (2008)

OCB DMO note: the original data file included Type B (B indicates bottle sample) and bottom depth reported as 700 meters for all stations (the target depth of the casts); depth_n added to enable merge with bottle data. Parameter quality flags are integer values ranging from 0 through 8: 0 is very good; 1 is OK; 4 is questionable; 8 is bad.
