This data set contains flow cytometry counts of bacteria, phytoplankton and nutrient concentrations of seawater from Niskin bottle casts taken from the R/V Annika Marie during August - September 2005 and 2006 in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, off the coast of Barrow, Alaska. Each data set presents abundances of heterotrophic bacterial cells: total, low, high, and very high nucleic acid content; coccoid cyanobacteria (Synechococcus (SYN)); small (<5 um) photosynthetic eukaryotes (PEUK); large diatoms; and chlorophyll fractions. Nutrients reported include phosphate, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate plus nitrite nitrogen, and silicate.
