PI: Kenneth Coale of: Moss Landing Marine Laboratory (MLML) dataset: Fe enrichment, DOC and TOC incubation experiments Pico and Nanoplankton biomass incubation experiments project/cruise: US JGOFS Antarctic Environments Southern Ocean Process Study (AESOPS) Ross Sea Process 2 cruise aboard R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer cruise 97-1 Antarctic Polar Front Zone (APFZ) Survey 1 and 2 cruises aboard R/V Roger Revelle cruises 6 (Survey 1) and 8 (Survey 2) Methodology Description:This data is available only as a downloadable excel format file. The excel file, briefly described in the table below, contains enrichment and incubation experiment data from the Southern Ocean. The rest of the Southern Ocean data is in the main US JGOFS database.
