| Summary: | Water samples are collected throughout the water column at regular stations within the Palmer LTER region at Palmer Station, on Anvers Island, Antarctica. CTD casts are preformed and water collected using go-flo bottles or a rosette. Near-surface waters are also sampled occassionally at the Palmer Station seawater intake (pumphouse). This dataset is the compilation of water samples collected at these stations, merged from other PAL-LTER datasets. Data includes water column Chlorophyll and Phaeopigment concentrations; phytoplankton accessory pigments -including other chlorophyll's (e.g. chlorophyll b), xanthophylls, and carotenes; primary production rates; bacterial production; dissolved organic carbon; particulate organic carbon and nitrogen; dissolved inorganic nutrients; dissolved oxygen, and dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity. Measurements of phytoplankton Fv/Fm measured using a FIRe (Fluorescence Induction and Relaxation) fluorometer are also included, though caution is urged as FIRe data has not ... |
