| Summary: | These data are part of the Arctic IES component of the Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (IERP), sponsored by the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), Collaborative Alaskan Arctic Studies Program (formerly the North Slope Borough/Shell Baseline Studies Program), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), and the Office of Naval Research Marine Mammals and Biology Program. These data are derived from particulate phosphorus samples collected on the Ocean Starr 2017 cruise through the north Bering and Chukchi seas, taken at all process stations, plus several other stations to fill in spatial gaps. Samples were drawn from the Niskin at several depths through the entire water column and filtered on precombusted GFF filters. Data are presented in a comma separated values file, in units of nanomoles per liter. The entire data file contains other CTD bottle fire metadata for interpretation of the particulate phosphorus data. The file"Variable definitions_particulate matter.docx" is a reference for the variable titles used as headers in the csv.
