Measurements of water column chemistry taken hourly over 24-hour periods at three sites in West Falmouth Harbor from 2006 to 2019
West Falmouth Harbor (West Falmouth, MA, USA) has been experiencing a dramatic increase in nitrogen loading from an upgradient municipal wastewater treatment facility since the early 2000’s. As part of a long-term study into the effects of this nitrogen enrichment, we have been measuring water chemistry at stations throughout the harbor to examine nutrient concentrations along the gradient from the highest loaded areas of the site to the most well-flushed. Water samples were taken hourly over 24-hour periods at 3 stations between 2006 and 2019. Due to covid restrictions on field and laboratory work, samples were not collected in 2020-2021; sample collection resumed in 2022 and data will be added after analysis. One station is in the well-flushed outer basin (OH) and one in the inner basin closer to the dominant groundwater N source (Snug Harbor, SH). These two were sampled at least once per year between 2006 and 2019. In two years, samples in the OH were taken at a location approximately 140m from the long-term site from this dataset. Those data can be accessed at doi:10.6073/pasta/73408abf801827966041c219f4222c1f. A third station is in the middle between the two, and was sampled in 2016 and 2018. Samples were processed for ammonium, phosphate, nitrate + nitrite, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus. On some dates, additional samples were run for silicate and chlorophyll. Salinity is reported for all samples. Samples were collected with an ISCO autosampler and stored on ice until analysis. Full analysis details and quality control methods are available in Hayn et al. 2014 (doi: 10.1007/s12237-013-9699-8).
Particulate organic carbon and nitrogen measurements at selected depths in the water column in the CCE region since 2006 - 2024 (ongoing).
Water column bottle samples at multiple depths are taken during CCE Process cruises (since 2006, ongoing) at various CTD stations, filtered, and stored at -20°C. Measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) are performed onshore in the lab where samples are acidified, dried and analyzed by high-temperature combustion. The sample and tin capsule react with oxygen and combust at 1000°C, and the sample is broken down, thus converting organic carbon to CO2 and reducing nitrogen oxides to N2 gas. Both gases are measured by thermal conductivity. Samples analyzed within the CCE constrain the mean C:N ratio of small particulates and by difference relative to measured living biomass, the biomass of suspended detritus.

Total dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen measurements at selected depths in the water column from CCE LTER process cruises in the California Current System, 2006 - 2021 (ongoing).
Water column bottle samples at multiple depths are taken during CCE Process cruises (since 2006, ongoing) at various CTD stations, and measurements of total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) are performed onshore in the lab. TOC includes both dissolved and particulate organic carbon (DOC and POC, respectively). TN includes particulate and dissolved organic nitrogen as well as dissolved inorganic nitrogen species. In open ocean waters, POC is subtracted from TOC, and likely provides an accurate estimate of DOC because particles are typically small and homogeneously distributed in the sample. In coastal waters, and at stations where relatively high chlorophyll concentrations are present, the TOC measurement is not easily converted to DOC by subtracting POC values. Experience has shown that particles in these regions are large and inhomogeneously distributed. Therefore, samples collected in the CCE are reported as TOC and TN, expressed as micromoles of carbon (nitrogen) per liter of sea water.

Particulate organic carbon and nitrogen measurements at selected depths in the water column from CalCOFI-CCE Augmented cruises in the California Current System, 2004 - November 2022
Water column bottle samples at multiple depths are taken during CalCOFI cruises (since 2004, ongoing) at various CTD stations, filtered, and stored at -20°C. Measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) are performed onshore in the lab where samples are acidified, dried and analyzed by high-temperature combustion. The sample and tin capsule react with oxygen and combust at 1000°C, and the sample is broken down, thus converting organic carbon to CO2 and reducing nitrogen oxides to N2 gas.

November 2001 to March 2003 water column chlorophyll and phaeopigment concentrations for Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER sampling sites
Water samples were collected from the surface and the bottom of the water column at ten GCE-LTER sampling sites and from the surface of the water column during a low water transect along the Altamaha River in November 2001, March 2002, June 2002, September 2002, December 2002, and March 2003 . Samples were taken at various times of day and under various tidal conditions. The particulate matter was separated by filtration and analyzed for chlorophyll and phaeopigment content by flourometric analysis. This study was part of the GCE-LTER hydrographic monitoring program, and is repeated quarterly.

Samples were collected and preserved between November 2007 and January 2020 in Lake Fryxell and between November 2007 and March 2008 in Lake Hoare. Samples were collected and analyzed as part of the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) core limnological sampling. Data were imaged using flow cytometry (FlowCam VS-IV) and imaged particles were classified with statistical image-based software (Visual Spreadsheet, v4.17.14). Diameter and biovolume was generated for each particle using FlowCam’s area-based diameter (ABD) algorithm.
MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Water Column nutrient data in lagoons of Moorea, French Polynesia
Nutrients are important for ecosystem structure and community dynamics. To quantify fine-scale patterns of variation in water column nutrients in tropical lagoon ecosystems, nitrite + nitrate, phosphate, and silicate were quantified from water column samples collected in lagoons around Moorea, French Polynesia during April-May starting in 2021 using flow injection with an automated ion analyzer. Over the first three years, water column nitrite + nitrate and silicate were higher in bays and fringing reef habitats, and phosphate was higher in bays.
MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Water Column: Offshore Water Profiles: CTD Transects
This dataset contains vertical water column profiles along transects heading offshore over the forereefs on the three sides of Moorea. These sides are designated north, southeast, and southwest. This process study intended to look for a hypothesized buoyant flow that would account for the counter-clockwise (CCW) circulation around the island. These transects were designed to look for cross-shore density gradients associated with the CCW flow. The SeaBird SBE19-Plus Profiler (CTD), outfitted with WetLabs FLNTURT-221 fluorometer, was cast at closely-spaced stations along transects oriented approximately normal to the three sides of the island. Standard CTD parameters (conductivity, temperature, and density) were used to calculate salinity, depth, and other physical quantities. No bottle samples were collected on these cruises.
MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Water Column: Bay Water Profiles: CTD Transects
This dataset contains vertical water column profiles along transects in Opunohu Bay and Cook’s Bay on the north side of Moorea. The SeaBird SBE19-Plus Profiler (CTD), outfitted with WetLabs FLNTURT-221 fluorometer, was cast at closely-spaced stations along transects down the length of the bays. Standard CTD parameters (conductivity, temperature, and density) were used to calculate salinity, depth, and other physical quantities. No bottle samples were collected on these cruises. Profiles in the bays were obtained when sea conditions offshore prohibited sampling over the forereef.
