<p>This dataset includes water column concentrations of DOC, TDN, and nutrients collected from February 13, 2013 to March 18, 2013 along the Ross Sea shelf. Sampling focus was in the western Ross Sea along with a zonal section on 76° 30ˈS.</p> <p><strong>Related files and references: </strong><br /> Physical data from NBP 1302 are archived by the Marine Geoscience Data System.
