Element quotas of individual phytoplankton cells from samples collected on the US GEOTRACES Arctic cruise GN01 (HLY1502) on USCGC Healy in August-October 2015

Individual phytoplankton cells were collected on the US GEOTRACES Arctic cruise GN01 (HLY1502) on USCGC Healy in August-October 2015. The elemental (Si, P, S, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) content of each cell was measured with synchrotron x-ray fluorescence (SXRF). Carbon was calculated from biovolume. Data can be used to assess biogenic particulate metal fraction, as well as changes in the accumulation of these elements across environmental gradients. Data are part of the larger international GEOTRACES dataset.
