The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) was created to serve PIs funded by the NSF Biological and Chemical Oceanography Sections as a location where marine biogeochemical, ecological and oceanographic data and information developed in the course of scientific research can easily be disseminated, protected, and stored on short and intermediate time-frames. Our main objective is to support the scientific community through improved access to ocean science data.

    Depth profile chlorophyll, macronutrient, trace metal, metal speciation, and carbon system data from FeOA project cruise SKQ202209S on the R/V Sikuliaq in the Northeast Pacific between June and July 2022
    (Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2025-02-21) Buck, Kristen Nicolle ; Parente, Caitlyn Elizabeth ; Kondo, Yoshiko ; Cochlan, William P. ; Caprara, Salvatore ; Takeda, Shigenobu ; Trick, Charles ; Wells, Mark L.
    This dataset includes the concentrations of dissolved inorganic macronutrients (phosphate, nitrate plus nitrite (N+N), silicic acid, and nitrite), chlorophyll a and phaeophytin, dissolved trace metals (iron, manganese, nickel, zinc, copper), and labile dissolved nickel, as well as pH and total alkalinity measurements, from discrete depth profile samples collected on the FeOA cruise SKQ202209S on R/V Sikuliaq in the Northeast Pacific from June to July 2022. This project investigates the effects of ocean acidification on the associations between iron and organic ligands in seawater and on iron bioavailability to marine phytoplankton communities. The project used a combination of shipboard incubation experiments and depth profiles to characterize iron speciation and cycling across coastal upwelling, oligotrophic open ocean, and iron-limited subarctic oceanographic regimes in the NE Pacific. Surface seawater was incubated at pH of 8.1, 7.6, and 7.1 with natural iron and with dissolved iron amendments in order to investigate interactions between pH and iron bioavailability across the different regimes. Understanding how pH influences iron and its relationship with ligands provides important information for assessing the impacts of ocean acidification on primary production and biogeochemical processes.

    Gene expression data from mussels (Mytilus edulis) subjected to stable versus fluctuating temperatures from laboratory experiments conducted in 2023
    (Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2025-02-20) Nishizaki, Michael T.
    We measured gene expression levels of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis Linneaus, 1758) under stable versus fluctuating water temperatures. Mussels were obtained from the intertidal zone at Black Point in Narragansett Bay, RI, USA (41° 24′ 4.4964″ N, 71° 27′ 43.8228″ W) and shipped in chilled coolers overnight to the lab at Carleton College in Northfild MN. Mussels were acclimated in a recirculating seawater (Instant Ocean, Blacksburg, VA, USA) tank system (Aquaneering Inc., San Marcos, CA, USA) for 2-3 weeks at 14-16°C and fed commercial Shellfish Diet 1800 (Reed Mariculture, Campbell, CA, USA) at a rate of 5% dry mussel tissue weight day-1 During our experiment, mussels were maintained for five days under one of three stable temperature treatments (e.g., 15, 20, or 25°C) or under a fluctuating temperature treatment between 15 and 25°C. On each day of the experiment, gill tissue from three mussels per temperature treatment were sampled to test for the expression of stress response (hsp70) and cellular respiration (NADH) related genes.

    These are dissolved inorganic nutrient concentrations from the eastern tropical north pacific ocean from the water column overlying the east pacific rise at 9°50'N 104°18.14'W including samples in hypoxic water. The measured nutrients are nitrate plus nitrite, nitrite, and phosphate. Samples were collected through two casts, one each on April 9 2019 and April 13 2019 by Dr. Benjamin Tully aboard the RV Atlantis cruise AT 42-09. Samples were run by Chesapeake Bay Laboratory's Analytical services facility following EPA method 353.2 with analysis overseen by Jerry Frank. While the cruise primarily focused on the hydrothermal vent field below, our team focused on measurements of suspended particles in the water column and their microbial communities. These nutrient data supported this analysis. These data support a paper in review titled "Quantitative microbial taxonomy across particle size, depth, and oxygen concentration" lead by Paulina Huanca.

    Primary productivity measurements for the Hawaii Ocean Time-Series (HOT) program from October 1988 to September 2022 at Station ALOHA
    (Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2025-02-15) White, Angelicque E. ; Karl, David M. ; Fujieki, Lance A
    Primary productivity measurements from the Hawaii Ocean Time-Series (HOT) from 1988 to 2022. The 14C-radiotracer method was used to measure the assimilation of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) by phytoplankton as an estimate of the rate of photosynthetic production of organic matter in the euphotic zone. All incubations from 1990 through mid-2000 were conducted in situ at eight depths (5, 25, 45, 75, 100, 125, 150 and 175m) over one daylight period using a free-drifting array as described by Winn et al. (1991). Starting October 2000 (HOT-119), samples were collected from only the upper six depths while the lower two depths were modeled based on the monthly climatology. During 2015, all incubations were conducted in situ on a free floating, surface tethered array. Integrated carbon assimilation rates were calculated using the trapezoid rule with the shallowest value extended to 0 meters and the deepest extrapolated to a value of zero at 200 meters.

    NCBI accession metadata for Eukaryotic viruses encoding ribosomal protein eL40 from samples collected on KM1419 and KM1108 from Mar 2011 to Sep 2014

    This dataset contains sample collection metadata, as well as GenBank accessions and relevant Bioproject numbers for FloV-SA2 samples collected on KM1419 and KM1108 at Station ALOHA from Mar 2011 to Sep 2014. This study analyzes the genome of FloV-SA2 (phylum Nucleocytoviricota), a cultured marine virus isolated from open ocean seawater in the Pacific Ocean using a marine microalga strain (UHM3020) in the genus Florenciella (class Dictyochophyceae) as a host. The analysis highlights unique features of the genome, including the encoding of a ribosomal protein (eL40) and a group II viral rhodopsin. The research explores the affiliations and possible origins of these genes, supported by metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data indicating the presence and expression of eL40 in other giant viruses. This study expands the understanding of the metabolic versatility of eukaryoviruses and proposes new mechanisms by which these viruses can manipulate host resources and energy.
