Description

These data reports POC and PON from bulk seawater samples from RV/Atlantic cruise AT39-05, Feb-Mar 2018.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Shipboard incubation experiments were carried out at 15 stations in the tropical Atlantic with trace metal clean-collected bulk seawater to examine iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) co-limitation of dinitrogen (N2) fixation (see TriCoLim Station coordinates metadata). Treatments were: Co-limited control (no additions, “Colimit”), + 2nM Fe (“Fe”), + 50 nM P (“P”) and Replete (+Fe+P, “Rep”). All incubations were carried out at ambient (“Lo”) temperature and ambient temperature +3C (“Hi”) for 2-4 days on deck before measuring 15N2 and 13CO2 fixation rates and particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON).

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
- reduced lat and lon precision from 14 to 3 places to better reflect sampling precision
