Title: Fluorometrically measured, extracted concentrations of chlorophyll-a sampled from CTD hydrocasts on R/V Melville cruise MV1008 in the Costa Rica Dome in 2010 (CRD FLUZiE project) (NCEI Accession 0277264)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological data collected on R/V Melville during cruise MV1008 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2010-06-24 to 2010-07-24. These data include chlorophyll a and depth. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird 9, Niskin bottle, and Turner Designs Fluorometer 10-AU. These data were collected by Michael R. Landry of University of California-San Diego as part of the "Costa Rica Dome FLUx and Zinc Experiments (CRD FLUZiE)" project and "Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research -US (IMBER-US)" and "Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB)" programs. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
Seawater samples were collected from 8 depths throughout the water column during CTD casts. Replicate samples of 280 ml from each depth were concentrated onto 25-mm GF/F filters and extracted in 7 mL of 90% acetone for 24 h (-20 degrees C, dark). Prior to analysis, the tube contents were agitated and equilibrated to room temperature in the dark. The filters were then removed from the tubes and Chl a fluorescence measured on a Turner Model 10AU fluorometer. Calculation as in Strickland and Parsons (1968).
