Water was sampled from Palmer inshore Stations B and E twice weekly, in addition, 13 Oct 00 to 09 Jan 01 water was collected daily from surface and 50% irradiance. Water from Go-Flo bottles was emptied into a clean, rinsed bucket, sub-sampled directly from the bucket on board the zodiac and stored in rinsed amber Nalgene bottles in coolers for up to two hours until sampling was complete. Upon return to station, samples were transferred to 20ml polyethylene scintillation vials with Teflon lined lids for storage at -70 Celsius until analysis at the Marine Science Institute in Santa Barbara, CA, on a Lachet QuickChem 800 flow injection nutrient analyzer. Water was sampled from a zodiac at Palmer inshore stations E and B using Go-Flo bottles at the surface and at depths corresponding to the following percentages of the surface photosynthetically available radiation (PAR): 50, 25, 10, 5 and 1. Surface water was also collected and analyzed from the Palmer Station seawater intake vicinity when full water column sampling could not be completed. nutrients, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, ammonia ASCII, comma separated /data/0001pal/nutrientsdi pal0001.nuts Dr. Maria Vernet, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, San Diego, CA mvernet@ucsd.edu Dr. Maria Vernet, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, San Diego, CA mvernet@ucsd.edu Wendy Kozlowski Silvia RodriueZ Micheal Thimgan Karen Pelletreau Karie Sines Marine Science Institute, Santa Barbara, CA Wendy Kozlowski Karie Sines Wendy Kozlowski Karie Sines Wendy Kozlowski 02 June 03 graphical preview -999 values represent missing data. Note that all samples were frozen at a minimum of -20 degrees Celsius from the time of collection to the time of analysis, up to seven months after sample collection. Ammonia analyte may be effected by the freezing process. "BON" represents surface water samples collected from Palmer Bonaparte Point area in Arthur Harbor when ice prevented open water collection.
