Plumes and Blooms: Curated oceanographic and phytoplankton pigment observations

These data come from the Plumes and Blooms project (PnB), which has conducted approximately monthly 1-day oceanographic cruises since August 1996. The data included here encompass all PnB cruises from August 1996 through December 2018. Data are two data tables: one table includes conductivity-temperature-depth profiles (CTD) and derived physical parameters, the other table includes discrete seawater samples for various biological and biogeochemical parameters. Details are available in Catlett et al., in prep. References: Catlett, D., D. A. Siegel, R. D. Simons, N. Guillocheau, F. Henderikx-Freitas, C. S. Thomas.
