Accompanying data for "Nitrogen fixation in mesoscale eddies of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre: patterns and mechanisms"

Data accompanying the manuscript "Nitrogen fixation in mesoscale eddies of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre: patterns and mechanisms", submitted to Global Biogeochemical Cycles.

Datasets refer to the 2017 MESO-SCOPE and 2018 Hawaiian Eddy Experiment cruises by the year of the expedition.

Contents include:

- Environmental measurements, such as temperature, concentrations of phosphates (PO43-) and dissolved iron (DFe), and scalar photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), from the transect and eddy center stations (see Eddies_environmental_datasets.xlsx).

-N2-fixation rates (NFR) measured on in-situ arrays deployed in eddy centers (see Eddies_NFR_datasets.xslx)

-nifH gene abundances measured in eddy centers and eddy transect (2017) (see Eddies_nifH_datasets.xlsx)

-Diazotroph cell abundances measured by automated flow cytometry (FCM) in eddy centers (see Eddies_FCM_datasets.xlsx)

-Diazotroph interpolated growth rate predictions derived from the ecophysiological model forced by in situ environmental data (see Eddies_interpolated_growthrates.xlsx)

-Predator-prey model input/output including putative grazer abundances, grazing rate estimates, and sensitivity analysis of the model (see Eddies_grazing_datasets.xlsx)

-Trichodesmium optical/size properties measured by imaging flow cytometry in eddy centers and a surface bloom sampled in 2017 (see Eddies_Trichodesmium_properties.xlsx)
