Description
Summary:This dataset contains measurements at each station of benthic parameters, including bottom water parameters (e.g., temperature, salinity), benthic chlorophyll-a values (bottom water chlorophyll-a, integrated water column chlorophyll-a, sediment chlorophyll-a), benthic faunal parameters (abundance, biomass (g/m2), biomass (gC/m2), number of taxa), sediment grain size values, Total organic carbon (TOC), TON, C/N, and sediment oxygen uptake rates. Samples included in this dataset were collected from May 18-June 16, 2007 from the United States Coast Guard Icebreaker Healy (WAGB-20). Samples collected on the Healy were funded through the National Science Foundation. Data were collected during the Bering Sea Ecosystem Study-Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (BEST-BSIERP). BEST-BSIERP together are the Bering Sea project.
