Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) from river, lagoon, and open ocean sites along the Alaska Beaufort Sea coast, 2018-ongoing

Multiple water types (river, lagoon, ocean) from the North Slope of Alaska and nearshore Beaufort Sea are sampled seasonally by the Beaufort Lagoon Ecosystems LTER (BLE LTER) Core Program to investigate biogeochemical linkages between terrestrial, lagoon, and open ocean ecosystems. Water samples are collected during full ice cover (April), ice break-up (mid-June to early July), and open water (late July and August) periods and analyzed for dissolved organic carbon and total dissolved nitrogen content.
