chlTM
PI: Jan Newton and James Murray
dataset: TM cast Fluorometric chlorophyll a and total phaeopigment
project/cruise: EQPAC/TT011
ship: Thomas Thompson
PI Note: Bottle numbers were not reported. However, the data are reported
in the order in which they were collected (bottle order) and as
a result some of the depths are out of sequence.
