Title: Phytoplankton abundance and physical environmental data from niskin bottles off the coast of Juneau, Alaska from 2015-2016 (SEAK-AHAB project) (NCEI Accession 0278196)
Abstract: This dataset contains meteorological and physical data collected at shoreside Juneau_Alaska during deployment Tobin_2015_2016 in the Coastal Waters of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia from 2015-02-17 to 2016-12-15. These data include air temperature, depth, sal_ss, and sea surface temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Bottle and Refractometer. These data were collected by Dr Elizabeth D. Tobin of University of Alaska Fairbanks as part of the "Enhancing Sustainability of Shellfish Harvest in Alaska: Addressing the Ecology of Alexandrium Blooms and their Sociocultural Impacts (SEAK-AHAB)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-06-11.

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

Phytoplankton Data:

Dock and beach-based phytoplankton bottle seawater grab (2.2L, horizontal, pvc) samples were collected at approximately weekly intervals at four phytoplankton sampling stations; Auke Bay, Amalga, Eagle Beach and Auke Rec in Juneau, AK. The bottle grab sampler was deployed to depth in the open position and triggered using a messenger.

Environmental Data:

Air temperature was recorded using the GPS mode on the NOAA weather android application. Surface seawater salinity was determined using a refractometer for salinity. Surface seawater temperature was recorded using a waterproof digital thermometer. Tide observations were verified using the GPS mode on the Tides Near Me android application.
