We compiled a time series spanning the period from 1996 to 2019 of the seawater hydrographic variables conservative temperature ( o C), absolute salinity (g kg ­–1 ) and dissolved oxygen (μmol kg ­–1 ), and the macronutrients DIN (nitrate + nitrite + ammonium), phosphate, and silicic acid (μmol kg ­–1 ). The study area covered the northern Antarctic Peninsula regions including the Gerlache Strait and the western, central, and eastern basins of Bransfield Strait. Most data (~90%) were obtained from the Brazilian High Latitude Oceanography Group (GOAL; http://goal.furg.br/) from austral summer field campaigns (January-March). In some years (1996, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2011) we used hydrographic and macronutrient data from GLODAP 2020 (Olsen et al., 2020) along the NAP and exceptionally for 1996 we used data available from December 1995 to February 1996 (the FRUELA cruises, García et al., 2022; Álvarez et al., 2002). Details on the sampling and analysis of macronutrient data obtained from GLODAP dataset can be ... : The BGQ_NAPv1.0. binned data set was created by the Brazilian High Latitude Oceanography Group (GOAL).
