Water column particulate silica, standing stocks, and productivity rates from R/V Atlantic Explorer cruises AE1218, AE1228, AE1319, AE1322 in Bermuda, and NW Atlantic from 2012-2013 (Si_in_Syn project)

<p>The data contain water column silica concentrations, silicic acid concentrations, and biomass-normalized biogenic silica production rates. &nbsp;Water samples were collected by R/V Atlantic Explorer cruises AE1218, AE1228, AE1319, and AE1322 between July of 2012 and October of 2013. &nbsp;The data include biogenic and lithogenic&nbsp;silica concentrations for particles greater than 3 um, and between 0.4 to 3 um.</p>
