Discrete bottle samples collected during BATS Validation (BVAL) cruises from April 1991 through July 2024
Abstract:
Data presented here are discrete bottle samples for BATS validation (BVAL) cruise 50001 (April 1991) through BVAL cruise 50061 (June/July 2024). The sample parameter list has been mostly consistent for the full time-series record and includes: salinity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, nutrients (nitrate + nitrite, nitrite, phosphate, silicate), particulate organics (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous), particulate silicate, total organic carbon and nitrogen, total dissolved phosphorus, bacterial enumeration, and flow cytometry counts of picoplankton.
