This dataset contains biological data collected on R/V Savannah during cruises SAV-15-04, SAV-15-16, SAV-15-20, SAV-15-26, SAV-16-06, SAV-16-22, SAV-16-28, and SAV-17-02 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2015-03-16 to 2017-01-27. These data include chlorophyll-a; fluorometric method and depth. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird 25, CTD Sea-Bird 911, Niskin bottle, and Turner Designs Fluorometer 10-AU. These data were collected by Peter Lee of College of Charleston - Hollings Marine Lab as part of the "RUI: Vitamin B12 and nitrogen regulation of oceanic dimethylsulfoniopropionate and dimethylsulfide (B12 Impacts on DMSP)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-06-23.

Size-fractionated chlorophyll-a data from samples collected during SAV cruises 2015-2017

Dataset Description:
Size-fractionated chlorophyll-a data collected during several R/V Savannah cruises conducted from 2015 to 2017 along a transect from shelf waters to oligotrophic waters in the South Atlantic Bight off the coast of Georgia (Navy Op Area NA06).

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
All samples were pre-screened through a 202 µm Nitex mesh. Size-fractionated Chlorophyll a (Chl-a) samples were collected by passing discrete 1 L aliquots of seawater through Nitex with mesh sizes of 63 and 20 µm, and collecting the filtrate. The filtrate was then filtered under low vacuum through GF/F (Sterlitech) filters. An additional sample was directly filtered onto a GF/F filter for total Chl-a. The filters were extracted in 90% acetone overnight at -20°C and analyzed according to the protocol described by Welschmeyer (1994). The size classes were calculated by difference (total, > 63 µm, 63-20 µm, < 20 µm). nd = no data
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
