This dataset contains nutrients data including nitrates, nitrites, ammonia and phosphates data collected on Nathaniel B. Palmer cruises NBP02-02 and NBP02-04 in the Southern Ocean in 2002 as part of the Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) project. The data were collected by Dr. Kent Fanning, College of Marine Sciences, Univ. Of South Fla., St. Petersburg, FL.

Bottle cast data were collected using R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer and Laurence M. Gould in support of the Southern Ocean studies of the GLOBEC project, May - September 2002. Data were collected and submitted by UCSD Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Baseline surveys were conducted at numerous sites around each island, including those identified as "hotspots" by the Department of Aquatic Resources, around the islands of Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai. A total of 72 sites with 13 in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu alone. Alien and/or invasive algal abundance were ranked on a scale of 0 to 10 (0=0% cover, 10=100% cover) and includes habitat type (e.g., sand, lava bench, coral, rock, artificial substrate) and pertinent environmental correlates (e.g., depth, proximity to shore) at each site where invasive species are encountered.

A set of phytoplankton pigment measurements collected on eight quarterly transects from France to New Caledonia is analyzed in order to identify the main assemblages of phytoplankton and to relate their occurrence to oceanic conditions.

CTD and Chemistry data downloaded from the following Fisheries and Oceans Canada web site on 04 June 2003:

http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/sci/osap/data/linep/linepselectdata_e.htm

Any modifications to data on that site that may have occurred after 04 June 2003 are not reflected in this accession.

From the above web site:

CTD data is Pressure, Temperature, Salinity, Transmissometer, and Oxygen (recent years). Chemistry data is Oxygen and Nutrients.

Primarily from the Hawaii Coral Reef Initiative, yet also support from The Nature Conservancy of Hawai'i, State Division of Aquatic Resources, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Project Reef Check, University of Hawai'i's Waikiki Aquarium, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and UH Botany Department.

Moored current meter data were collected from the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, and North Pacific Ocean from February 16, 1994 to May 25, 2002. Data were collected by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part as part of the Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (FOCI). Current meter parameters include East/West velocity components (U), North/South velocity component (V), current speed, current direction, salinity, pressure, conductivity, and temperature. Data are not in standard formats and are self documenting.

Cruises are made to the HOT deep water station approximately once a month, and are denoted as HOT-n, where n is the sequential cruise number. HOT-1 was in October 1988.

Station inventories are given in files with the extension "sum" (e.g., HOT-1 is summarized in hot1.sum).

Station inventories from the ALOHA-Climax (AC) cruises are summarized in files with the prefix ac (e.g., AC-1 is summarized in ac1.sum).
