Abstract
Two adjacent mesoscale eddies of opposite polarity were surveyed during the MESO-SCOPE (Microbial Ecology of the Surface Ocean-Simons Collaboration on Ocean Processes and Ecology) expedition in June – July of 2017 aboard R/V Kilo Moana (cruise ID KM1709). The expedition aimed to understand the impact of mesoscale eddies on the ecosystem of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Hydrographic water samples collected during the cruise were measured for nitrate 15N/14N isotope ratios using the denitrifier method. These measurements were performed by Mengyang Zhou at the University of Connecticut.
