 PI:              Stuart Wakeham
 of:              Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, University of Georgia
 dataset:         Lipid/Fatty acid concentrations from MULFVS samples
 project/cruise:  EqPac/TT007, Survey 1
 ship:            R/V Thomas Thompson

 
 Methodology:
 
 Wakeham, Stuart G., John I. Hedges, Cindy Lee, Michael L. Peterson, and 
 Peter J. Hernes (1997).  Composition and transport of lipid biomarkers 
 through the water column and surficial sediments of the equatorial Pacific
 Ocean. Deep-Sea Research II, Vol. 44, No. 9-10, pp2131-2162.


 Notes:
 Concentrations of fatty acids and neutral lipids were calculated as sums 
    of all compounds quantified.  Individual compounds quantified are available
    as downloadable excel format files:
    MULFVS Acids
    MULFVS Neutrals
