This dataset contains biological, chemical, optical, and physical data collected on RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer during cruise NBP1801 in the Ross Sea, South Pacific Ocean, and Southern Ocean from 2017-12-31 to 2018-01-03. These data include Ammonium, Nitrite, PAR, Silicate, conductivity, depth, depth_bottom, dissolved Oxygen, fluorescence, nitrate plus nitrite, salinity, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Alpkem RFA300, Biospherical PAR sensor, CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus, Niskin bottle, Sea-Bird SBE 3plus Temperature Sensor, Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor, Sea-Bird SBE-4 Conductivity Sensor, Technicon AutoAnalyzerII, and Wet Labs ECO-AFL/FL Fluorometer. These data were collected by Giacomo DiTullio of College of Charleston - Hollings Marine Lab and Mak A. Saito of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Collaborative Research: Cobalamin and Iron Co-Limitation Of Phytoplankton Species in Terra Nova Bay (CICLOPS)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2022-06-21.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Acquisition Description:
Hydrographic data was collected during the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer cruise (NBP1801) from December 31st, 2017 to March 3rd, 2018. Samples were collected by trace metal rosette (TMR) using the Saito laboratory 8L X-Niskin bottles. Bottles were brought into a clean van, pressurized with high-purity nitrogen gas and filtered through 0.2 micron 142mm Supor membrane filters. Nutrient samples were filled in acid-washed 60mL HDPE bottles and frozen until analysis.

Nutrient analyses were conducted by Joe Jennings at Oregon State University using a nutrient autoanalyzer following the methods of Noble et al. (2012). Technicon AutoAnalyzer II components were used to measure phosphate and ammonium. Alpkem rapid flow analyzer (RFA) 300 components were used to measure silicic acid, nitrate+nitrite, and nitrite.

For quality control (QC) notes, please see the document "Quality Control notes for NBP1801 nutrients" in the Supplemental Files section.

NOTE : The PAR sensor was not present on the first leg of the cruise, so PAR values were not measured until Station 35.
