TEP and CSP particle concentrations from samples collected from Station ALOHA to 31ºN in the North Pacific in June 2021 on the R/V Kilo Moana cruise KM2108

These data include transparent exopolymer particle (TEP) and Coomassie stainable particle (CSP) concentrations within the upper 500 meters collected on a 12-day June 2021 cruise aboard the R/V Kilo Moana (KM2108) that visited Station ALOHA to 31 N nominally along 158 W in the subtropical North Pacific. Particle concentrations are measured spectrophotometrically using Alcian blue (TEP) and Coomassie blue (CSP) dyes and reported in the semi-quantitative concentration units of xanthan gum equivalents µg / L (TEP) and bovine albumen equivalents µg / L (CSP). Also included are total dissolved carbohydrate concentrations in µM C units, salinity, temperature, as well as oxygen, nitrate, silicate, phosphate, ammonium, dissolved organic phosphorus, dissolved organic nitrogen concentrations in µM units. These analyses are a contribution to the project, "Collaborative Research: Transparent exopolymer and phytoplankton vertical migration as sources for preformed nitrate anomalies in the subtropical N. Pacific Ocean" funded by the Chemical and Biological Oceanography Programs at NSF.
