Bottle sample data from CTD casts from R/V Hugh R. Sharp HRS1610 in the Mid-Atlantic coastal waters from August 2016 (CyanateInTheSea project)

Abstract

Bottle sample data from CTD casts aboard the R/V Huge R. Sharp cruise to Mid-Atlantic coastal waters in August 2016. The parameters include bottle temperature, salinity, pressure, depth, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, phosphate, and cyanate concentrations.

The cruise was comprised of eight cross-shelf transects (41 stations in total) that spanned a region between 33 and 38 oN latitude at approximately 0.5o intervals. Stations were occupied in coastal, continental shelf, and oceanic waters in the Mid- Atlantic Bight, South Atlantic Bight, and Gulf Stream. Water depths ranged from 10−3450 m with most stations located on the continental shelf and in the Gulf Stream. Stations were also occupied in waters influenced by the shelf-break jet (200−1000 m) and in the Slope Sea (>1000 m). At each station, water for the determination of nutrients were collected at various depths using Niskin bottles.
