HLY-04-03 Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) and Particulate Nitrogen (PN) in sediments (ASCII). Version 1.0

This data set represents measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC) and Particulate Nitrogen (PN) for water column suspended particles collected during the 2004 U.S. Coast Guard Cutter (USCGC) Healy HLY-04-03 Process Cruise. Particulates were collected by filtration onto pre-combusted (450¡C for 4hrs) 25mm Whatman GF/F filters. The filters were stored frozen until analysis. Filters were dried at 40C for 24 hours, then carbonates were removed by vapor phase acidification with HCl. Samples were analyzed at the Nutrient Analytical Services Laboratory at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Solomons, Maryland, using an Exeter Analytical, Inc., CE-440 Elemental Analyzer. These data are in ASCII format.
