Discrete phytoplankton, HPLC, flow cytometry, and nutrient data from GLOBEC NEP mesoscale cruises in the Northeast Pacific from 2000-2002 (NEP project)

<p>Phytoplankton, HPLC, flow cytometry, and nutrient data were collected by SLOWDROP optical profilers, underway, and CTD's. SLOWDROP optical profilers provided high resolution vertical profiles of temperature, salinity, and density along with bio-optical properties. The underway component focused on the assessment of the spatial and temporal variability in phytoplankton biomass and physiology. Discrete samples for chlorophyll fluorometric determinations, pigment analyis, partical absorption, and nutrients were collected by CTD cast.</p>
