browse graphicGraphic not available.
This dataset contains biological, chemical, optical, and physical data collected on R/V Neil Armstrong during cruise AR29 on 2018-04-26. These data include PAR, depth, dissolved Oxygen, fluorescence, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, turbidity, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Video Plankton Recorder. These data were collected by Dennis J. McGillicuddy and Weifeng Gordon Zhang of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Collaborative Research: Shelfbreak Frontal Dynamics: Mechanisms of Upwelling, Net Community Production, and Ecological Implications (SPIROPA)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-04-08.
