Nutrients and phytoplankton pigments concentrations at the Sud Bastia station (Corsica Channel, Corsica)

This dataset contains time series (2012 - 2022) of monthly nutrient and HPLC phytoplankton pigment concentrations measured at the Sud Bastia station. The station is located in the Corsica Channel over the 40 m isobath.
The analyzed nutrients (in uM) are nitrate (NO3), nitrite (NO2), ammonia (NH4) and silicate (Si(OH)4). 
The measured pigments (in ng L-1) include chlorophyll a (chl a), divinyl chlorophyll a (DVchl a), total chlorophyll a (Tchl a), peridinin (Peri), 19'-butanoyloxyfucoxanthin (Buta), fucoxanthin (Fuco), neoxanthin (Neo), prasinoxanthin (Prasino), violaxanthin (Viola), 19'-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin (19’HF), alloxanthin (Allo), zeaxanthin (Zea), lutein (Lutein) and total chlorophyll b (Tchl b). Sampling and analysis methods are described in Goffart et al. (2015).
These data contribute to characterize seasonal patterns of phytoplankton biomass and composition in a region where very limited information on phytoplankton dynamics is available.
