Bacteria and chlorophyll-a water column observations (surface to ~150m), April-August 2001, Continental Margin Western Antarctic Peninsula, GLOBEC

Water sampling for bacteria abundance and chlorophyll-a concentrations were collected in the near surface waters (0-150m) using a CTD niskin rosette sampler during 2 ship cruises to the Antarctic, June-August 2001. The general survey area includes: the continental shelf to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula extending from the northern tip of Adelaide Island to the southern portion of Alexander Island, Marguerite Bay, and seaward to the ~2000 meter contour. Data reported: bacteria abundance, bacteria carbon biomass and chlorophyll-a concentrations. Ships/cruises: RV Lawrence M. Gould / LMG01-04 RV Lawrence M.
