Bacteria abundance and chlorophyll-a concentrations from sea ice cores, July-August 2001, Continental Margin Western Antarctic Peninsula, GLOBEC.

Observations of bacteria abundance and chlorophyll-a concentrations were extracted from sea ice cores. Ice cores, ~1 meter in length, were obtained during 2 ship cruises to the Antarctic, July-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: down core values of bacteria abundance, carbon biomass and chlorophyll-a concentrations. Ships/cruises: RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer / NMP01-04 RV Lawrence M.
