This data package provides net community production (NCP) and gross oxygen production (GOP, a measure of gross primary production) for the winter, summer, and fall Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER) Transect cruises in 2018. Two tables are provided: a high-frequency table with NCP rates calculated from measurements of O2/Ar made continuously by an at-sea equilibrator inlet mass spectrometer (EIMS), and a low-frequency table with both NCP and GOP rates calculated for discrete samples measured post-cruise. The GOP rates were calculated from triple O2 isotopic (TOI) ratios. These data are derived from the EIMS and TOI data for the NES-LTER Transect cruises in EDI data package knb-lter-nes.6.2.

Net community production (NCP) and gross oxygen production (GOP), based on oxygen-argon ratios and triple oxygen isotopes, from seasonal NES-LTER Transect cruises in 2019
This data package provides net community production (NCP) and gross oxygen production (GOP, a measure of gross primary production) for the winter, spring, and summer Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER) Transect cruises in 2019. Two tables are provided: a high-frequency table with NCP rates calculated from measurements of O2/Ar made continuously by an at-sea equilibrator inlet mass spectrometer (EIMS), and a low-frequency table with both NCP and GOP rates calculated for discrete samples measured post-cruise. The GOP rates were calculated from triple O2 isotopic (TOI) ratios. These data are derived from the EIMS and TOI data for the NES-LTER Transect cruises in EDI data package knb-lter-nes.6.2.

In order to calculate net community production (NCP) rates on Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER) transect cruises, gas tracer data were collected with a continuous at-sea mass spectrometer. The ratio of O2/Ar, measured continuously from underway water, yields 8,000-15,000 rates of NCP per cruise. Discrete water samples (50 to 150 per cruise) were collected for triple oxygen isotope (TOI) analysis to estimate gross primary production (GPP) rates and ratios of NCP/GPP. Along-shelf (upstream-downstream) transects were conducted in addition to the main across-shelf transect. This data package provides two types of data tables for NES-LTER transect cruises beginning in 2018: a high-frequency continuous Equilibration Inlet Mass Spectrometer (EIMS) table, provided by year, and a low-frequency discrete triple oxygen isotope (TOI) table with all years combined. Rates calculated from these measurements are provided as separate packages, per year, in the EDI repository.more » « less

This package provides a concatenated table of events recorded on seasonal Transect cruises for Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER). Events were recorded onboard with Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) event logger (elog) software. Event listings include date, time, ship’s position, instrument, and action for use in physical sample cataloging and post-cruise data integration. Cruises include winter and summer cruises dedicated to NES-LTER, spring and fall cruises in collaboration with the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), and additional fall cruises.more » « less

Zooplankton are sampled on Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER) Transect cruises in summer and winter seasons in oblique tows with a bongo net equipped with two mesh sizes (335 micron and 150 micron). Tows are conducted at standard stations L1 to L11 along longitude 70 deg 53 min W extending southward from near Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, to approximately 150 km offshore. Counts for taxa morphologically identified from the 335 micron net were provided by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center of the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service. Counts were divided by volume and multiplied by depth sampled for abundance as per meter squared. The first version of this data package provides the abundance of 14 taxa from the 335 micron net for cruises in 2018 - 2020 in a described data table, as well as a supplemental table for the tow metadata.more » « less

This package provides a table of day cruises to the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory for Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER). Sampling frequency is approximately monthly, with NES-LTER sampling ongoing since 2017. Cruises involve collection of water column bottle samples, surface bucket samples, and zooplankton net tow samples, as well as ship provided data. The event number for each cruise is provided, along with date, vessel name, cruise identifier where applicable, link to data location (for CTD, ADCP, and other underway data), and checklist of six data types.more » « less
