COAST Data Inventory:

PI(s): VAN GEEN

Data Description and Status:

• Underway surface iron analyses
  Surface mapping data from 23 May to 13 June and 6-25 August 2001 are 75% processed.
  Complete processing, QC and merging with other underway datasets (CTD, nutrients)
  should be complete by October 1, 2002.
  
• Discrete (bottle) iron analyses
  Over 600 discrete bottle samples were collected during the two Wecoma cruises in 2001.
  Half of these samples are vertical profiles collected from the CTD-Rosette. A handful
  of samples were analyzed at sea. A subset of the most interesting vertical profiles,
  including those from the mooring sites, as well as a subset of the discrete surface
  samples, will be analyzed at LDEO beginning in September, 2002.
  
• Mooring backscatter data
  Two Wetlabs backscatter meters were deployed on the North Inner Shelf and North Mid
  Shelf moorings, at depths of 35 and 65 m, respectively. These data are in the early
  stages of analysis. The processing should be complete by October 1, 2002. Mooring
  backscatter data will be compared with concurrent ship occupations and vertical
  Fe profiles.
  
• ISUS
  The MBARI Insitu Ultraviolet Spectrophotometer was deployed on the SeaSoar for two
  tows during each of the Wecoma cruises in 2001. The ISUS nitrate data have been
  processed and merged with the seasoar CTD data. The merged datasets are available
  by request (zanna@mbari.org).
