Collection of nutrient and hydrographic data from the greater Gulf of Maine region for use in driving the associated models (Phytoplankton Blooms project)

<p>This is a database/archive of nutrient and hydrographic data collected in the greater Gulf of Maine region. It is intended to be a 'nutrient' database, however temperature, salinity, and nitrate (reported as either NO₃orNO₃+NO₂) are included as variables, which may or may not include corresponding silicate or phosphate. Read more about these data from <a href=\"http://grampus.umeoce.maine.edu/nutrients/\" target=\"_blank\">Rebuck et al. (2009)</a>.</p>

<p>Data include: month; day; year; decimal longitude; decimal latitude; bottom depth; sample depth; temperature; salinity; NO₃+NO₂; Si(OH)₄; PO₄; extracted chlorophyll; and quality flags.</p>
