DatasetDissolved radium from STING I Cruise AE2305 on R/V Atlantic Explorer and STING II Cruise EN704 on R/V Endeavor and U.S. Geological Survey small boat surveys in the Gulf of Mexico from Feb to Jul 2023Tamborski, Joseph; Lindgren, Andrew; Alorda-Kleinglass, Aaron; Buck, Kristen N; Boiteau, Rene M; Chappell, Phoebe Dreux; Conway, Timothy M; Smith, Chris; Knapp, Angela N; Lindgren, Andrew{"Abstract":["Activities of dissolved radium (Ra-223, Ra-224, Ra-226, Ra-228), Th-228, and Ac-227, collected on two cruises in the Gulf of Mexico. STING I cruise AE2305 on R/V Atlantic Explorer was deployed from February to March 2023. STING II consisted of EN704 on R/V Endeavor and U.S. Geological Survey small boat surveys and took place from June to July 2023. This project investigates how boundary sources, including rivers and submarine groundwater discharge, deliver important nutrients and metals to the coastal ecosystems of the West Florida Shelf. Here, dissolved radium and parent isotopes have been measured to trace boundary sources of nutrients and metals entering the West Florida Shelf."]}Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO)2025-09-1810675984https://doi.org/10.26008/1912/bco-dmo.982223.12506248; 2148989radiumSubmarine groundwater dischargeWest Florida shelfGulf of Mexico1Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management OfficeWoods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionNational Science Foundation
