Adenosine triphosphate and microbial biomass measurements from the Chesapeake Bay, sampled aboard RV Fay Slover on April 11, 2018

Abstract

This dataset contains values from instruments and Niskin bottle samples from a research expedition on the RV Slover on April 11, 2018. Six stations were sampled with five bottle samples each from the coastal ocean to tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. The variables are latitude, longitude, station number, depth, sigma-t, beam attenuation, relative chlorophyll fluorescence, salinity, temperature, total ATP (dissolved and particulate), carbon of prokaryotic microbes (microscope estimates), and carbon of eukaryotic microbes (microscope estimates).
