BCO-DMO is preparing to move to a new data access system that provides more functionality and features. This system, called ERDDAP, is free and open source with a strong and growing user community. Currently, we are providing the following data access and download capabilities for datasets as we work through our legacy data holdings. These capabilities will soon be available for all data at BCO-DMO:Data Access
- - view the data in an HTML table
- - filter the data before viewing or downloading in a variety of formats
- - download the data with comma-separated values (Excel-ready)
- - download the data with tab-separated values (Excel-ready)
- - download the data as GeoJSON. Try it out at geojson.io
- - download the data as a valid MATLAB file

Dissolved inorganic nutrients from two microcosm incubation experiments conducted on sample water collected from West Bay of the Neuse River Estuary, North Carolina USA in 2021 and 2022
Abstract:
Dissolved inorganic nutrients were collected for two microcosm incubation experiments. Sample water originated from West Bay of the Neuse River Estuary, North Carolina USA in 2021 and 2022. The microcosms were 60 liters, conducted in biological duplicates under three light treatment incubations: 12-hour light-dark cycle of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), 12-hour light-dark cycle of UV-B radiation, or darkness. Samples were collected from the microcosms in duplicate every few days for over one month to examine how light and the resulting microbial activity altered the concentrations of dissolved inorganic nutrients (total dissolved nitrate and nitrite or NOx, ammonium or NH4, and soluble reactive phosphorus or SRP) over time. Concentrations of these inorganic nutrients were quantified via colorimetric assays on a Genesys 10S UV-Vis spectrophotometer or Tecan Infinite 200Pro plate reader.
