Spatial distribution of phytoplankton chlorophyll a concentrations in the Southeastern Beaufort Sea in 2002, 2003 and 2004

This dataset consists of vertical profiles of discrete depth sampled over the Southeastern Beaufort Sea for chlorophyll a concentration of different size fractions: >0.7µm, >5µm and >20µm. Sampling took place from September to October 2002, from September to November 2003 and from June to A...

Description
Summary:This dataset consists of vertical profiles of discrete depth sampled over the Southeastern Beaufort Sea for chlorophyll a concentration of different size fractions: >0.7µm, >5µm and >20µm. Sampling took place from September to October 2002, from September to November 2003 and from June to August 2004. Chlorophyll a concentrations were determined by fluorimetry. : Purpose: This study was conducted to assess biological variables and processes during the open water period in the Southeastern Beaufort Sea. The data will contribute to our understanding of the effects of climate change on phytoplankton biomass. : Summary: Not Applicable
