| Summary: | Nutrient data from underway (surface, ~7 m) and CTD (surface only, ~10 m) samples. Nutrients include ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, urea, phosphate, and silicate concentrations. Particulate organic nitrogen and carbon concentrations, chlorophyll-a concentrations, inorganic carbon uptake rates, and nitrogen (nitrate, ammonium, urea) uptake rates are included - all for two size classes: >0.3 microns and >2.7 microns. Ammonium oxidation rates are also provided. Plankton abundances are provided for various groups (microplankton enumerated with microscopy and nano- and picoplankton enumerated using flow cytometry). Cruise: 28 June - 13 July 2017; R/V SA Agulhas II (VOY025); Cape Town to the Marginal Ice Zone; WOCE IO6 line. We acknowledge Captain Knowledge Bengu and the crew of the R/V SA Agulhas II, and Chief Scientists Hermann Luyt, Marcello Vichi, and Thomas Ryan-Keogh. We thank Tahlia Henry for CTD operations and CTD and SDS data processing. We are grateful to the students from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology for help with sample collection and analysis of chl-a samples. We thank Sedick Gallie for his assistance with sampling and for conducting the microscope counts, and Raquel Flynn, Mishka Rawatlal, and Raymond Roman for assistance with nutrient analyses. We acknowledge the Flow Cytometry Core Facility at the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the efforts of Ian Newton at the Stable Light Isotope Laboratory (UCT).
