Abstract

These data include nutrient, pigment, silica and experimental data collected aboard the OCEANUS during cruise OC1504A in the North Pacific Ocean along the California Coast from 2015-04-19 to 2015-05-06. The water samples were collected by CTDs. Silica production rates were characterized by delivering incremental increases in silicic acid (Si) along with a radioactive isotope of silicon (32Si). This is an extremely sensitive assay and can determine the maximum production rates of the community be...

Nutrients, pigments, bottle data, and experimental and survey biogeochemical data from cruise OC1504A. "Silica production rates were characterized by delivering incremental increases in silicic acid (Si) along with a radioactive isotope of silicon (32Si). This extremely sensitive assay can determine the maximum production rates of the community being studied and the degree that its growth is being limited by lack of Si." (from cruise blog)
