Oil Composition for the TeCOAST mesocosm study, Test of COASTal water with coastal microbial concentrate

Mesocosm experiments were performed with seawater collected from the NGOM and enriched with coastal plankton collected from Galveston Bay. The four treatments analyzed for oil composition were 1) Control, 2) Water accommodated oil fraction (WAF), 3) Chemically enhanced (Corexit 9500) water accommodated fraction (CEWAF), and 4) 10-fold diluted CEWAF (DCEWAF). The oil composition data presented here are EOE (estimated oil equivalence using fluorescence), PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), and Total PAH. Dissolved organic matter FTICR-MS data can be found in GRIIDC dataset UDI: R4.x263.000:0020.
