ALOHA and Km3 oceanographic data.

Values shown are those from the same CTD casts as the samples (DeLong et al. 2006 and this work). *Archival data are from ALOHA HOT-DOGS© database (http://hahana.soest.hawaii.edu/hot/hot-dogs/) or in the case of Km3 from the ICES oceanographic database (http://www.ices.dk/ocean) and correspond to several datasets collected at the depth and approximate location (less than 50 NM away) as the samples. Values in parentheses are the average value±standard deviation. Abbreviations are Temp, Temperature; Chl, chlorophyll; DOC, dissolved organic carbon; DIP, dissolved inorganic phosphate; N+N, nitrate plus nitrite; SLCA, silicate; HPP, heterotrophic picoplankton (DAPI counts); POC, particulate organic carbon.
