Dissolved trace metals and macronutrients from samples collected using GoFlo on R/V Melville MV1405 (IRN-BRU) cruise in the California Current System in July 2014

Abstract

This dataset is a suite of dissolved trace metal concentrations, along with macronutrient concentrations, collected using a GoFlo on R/V Melville cruise MV1405 (IRN-BRU) while investigating the mosaic of the California Current System in July 2014. It includes depth profiles of an active upwelling site nearshore over the shelf in northern California (Station 2), a more aged upwelling site offshore of the shelf break in southern Oregon (Station 28), a station in the Santa Barbara Basin that got suboxic in the lower depths of the water column (Station 29), and a set of stations (9, 12 and 15) that show two cyclonic eddies, one two months younger (station 9) than the other (station 15), but both coming from roughly the same place and moving offshore, with station 12 in between them in an offshoot of the California Current. The chief scientist of the cruise was Ken Bruland. Trace metal samples were analyzed by Claire Till (nee Parker) as his graduate student. Nutrient samples were analyzed by Tyler Coale. See related datasets for additional samples using a regular rosette (macronutrient concentrations) and surface samples from a TowFish (macronutrient and dissolved trace metal concentrations) collected on MV1405.
