(min.), Longitude (deg.), Long. (min.), irradiance (%), depth (m), event #, phosphate (uM), silicate (uM), nitrite (uM), nitrate, and ammonia(uM). nitrate (uM) calculated from difference of measured variables nitrite + nitrate (uM) and nitrite (uM). Water was sampled from Palmer inshore Stations B and E twice weekly. 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 -20 Celsius until analysis at the Marine Science Institute in Santa Barbara, CA. 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): 60, 30, 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/9899pal/nutrientsdi pal9899.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 Eric Pohlman Jennifer White Karen Weinbaum Robert Kozlowski Marine Science Institute, Santa Barbara, CA Wendy Kozlowski Wendy Kozlowski Wendy Kozlowski 10-20-99 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. "SWI" represents surface water samples collected from Palmer seawater intake area in Arthur Harbor when ice prevented open water collection.
