Title: HPLC pigments, EDDIES WB cruises from R/V Weatherbird II WB0409, WB0413, WB0506, WB0508 in the Sargasso Sea from 2004-2005 (EDDIES project) (NCEI Accession 0068666)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological data collected on R/V Weatherbird II during cruises WB0409, WB0413, WB0506, and WB0508 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2004-06-24 to 2005-08-25. These data include 19-prime-butanoyloxyfucoxanthin, 19-prime-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin, allomerized chlorophyll a, carotene, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll c2, chlorophyll c3, chlorophyllide a, depth nominal, diadinoxanthin, diatoxanthin, divinyl chlorophyll a, fucoxanthin, monovinyl chlorophyll a, neoxanthin, prasinoxanthin, total phaeopigment, violaxanthin, and zeaxanthin. The instruments used to collect these data include Niskin bottle. These data were collected by Dennis J. McGillicuddy of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Eddies Dynamics, Mixing, Export, and Species composition (EDDIES)" project and "Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-01-20.

Technician notes:
note 1: Did not have a signal for Chl_a @ 450nm (sample too dilute to get a chromatogram peak)
note 2: Did not have a signal for Chl_a @ 450nm or 436nm (sample too dilute to get a chromatogram peak)
note 3: no ancillary data; default volume filter set to 4000mL

chl_a_fluor and pheo_fluor are values from a Turner Fluorometer. Each HPLC extract is run on the Fluorometer as a second measure of Chla. Chla, MVa, DVa using the C18 HPLC method, yield a single peak for Chla, measured at 436nm and 450nm. A regression equation, between the 2 wavelengths (based on calibration curves of 100% MVa and 100% DVa), is used to give values for each pigment within a single peak. Chla @436nm is reported for comparison with legacy data (that are often only listed simply Chla).

In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number.
