Spectral algal concentrations measured with a bbe Moldaenke FluoroProbe in discrete water column samples from lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (2004–2023, ongoing)

An important component of the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research (MCM LTER) project is monitoring the spatial and temporal patterns and processes that regulate primary production in perennial ice-covered lakes. Phytoplankton are the dominant primary producers in the photic zones of these lakes and play a central role in carbon cycling. This data package quantifies spectral algal concentrations measured with a bbe Moldaenke FluoroProbe at discrete depths throughout the water column of multiple lakes across the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, providing long-term observations that support investigations into primary production dynamics and ecosystem responses to environmental change.

Chlorophyll and phaeopigments from water column samples, collected at selected depths at Palmer Station Antarctica, during the Palmer LTER field seasons, 1991-2025.

Phytoplankton chlorophyll sampling was led by Smith from the 1991-1992 season through the 2001-2002 season, and then by Vernet from the 2002-2003 season through the 2006-2007 season. Schofield is the third, and current lead, beginning in the 2008-2009 season. Methods have been kept consistent as much as possible over the full time series and different Principal Investigators. Chlorophyll a (Chl a) is the principal photosynthetic pigment of phytoplankton, and is used as a proxy measurement for estimating phytoplankton biomass in water samples. Chl a concentrations reflect the distribution of active phytoplankton spatially and with depth in the water column and their changes over time. Phaeopigments are non-photosynthetic pigments that are degradation products of phytoplankton chlorophylls which form during and after phytoplankton blooms. Water samples are collected throughout the water column at stations within the Palmer LTER region (primarily B and E, to 50m and 65m respectively). Beginning in the 2020-2021 season, Station B is no longer sampled. Chlorophyll and phaeopigment concentrations are determined by filtration, extraction, and fluorometric detection of samples. The primary source of error for phaeopigment measurement is Chlorophyll b. If high amounts of Chlorophyll b are present in the sample, phaeopigments may be overestimated. There was no field season in 2021-2022.

Water column primary production from inorganic carbon uptake for 24h at simulated in situ light levels in deck incubators, collected at Palmer Station Antarctica during Palmer LTER field seasons, 1994-2025.

Primary Production experiments were led by Vernet from the 1994-1995 season through the 2006-2007 season. Schofield is the current lead, beginning in the 2009-2010 season. Methods have been kept consistent as much as possible over the full time series and different Principal Investigators. Primary production is the uptake of inorganic carbon and assimilation of it into organic matter by phytoplankton. Primary production rates, expressed as mgC per m3 per day were measured by the uptake of radioactive (14C) sodium bicarbonate. Water samples are collected throughout the water column at stations within the Palmer LTER region (primarily B and E, to 50m and 65m respectively). Beginning in the 2020-2021 season, Station B is no longer sampled. Water is put into borosilicate bottles, inoculated with 1 uCi of NaH14CO3 per bottle, and incubated in an outdoor deck incubator. The incubator is plumbed to the Palmer Station sea water system to maintain ambient seawater temperature and bottles are screened to in situ light levels. The uptake of 14C-bicarbonate by the phytoplankton was measured in a scintillation counter after a 24-hour incubation period. Primary production experiments were not conducted during the 2020-2021 nor 2023-2024 field seasons. There was no field season in 2021-2022.

Photosynthetic pigments of water column samples analyzed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), sampled during the Palmer LTER field seasons at Palmer Station, Antarctica, 1991 – 2023.

Phytoplankton pigment sampling was led by Prezelin from the 1991-1992 season through the 1993-1994 season, and then by Vernet from the 1994-1995 season through the 2006-2007 season. Schofield is the third, and current lead, beginning in the 2008-2009 season. Methods have been kept consistent as much as possible over the full time series and different Principal Investigators. Phytoplankton have a suite of accessory pigments in addition to Chlorophyll a, including other Chlorophyll’s (e.g. Chlorophyll b), Xanthophylls, and Carotenes. These accessory pigments can be used as chemotaxonomic markers to assess the composition and distribution of the phytoplankton community. For example, Fucoxanthin is a marker pigment of Diatoms, whereas Alloxanthin is a marker pigment of Cryptophytes. Accessory pigments also assist in photoacclimation and photoprotective processes. Water samples are collected throughout the water column at stations within the Palmer LTER region (primarily B and E, to 50m and 65m respectively). Water samples are filtered onto GF/F filters, and filters kept frozen at -80C until analysis. HPLC analysis is completed following Wright et al (1991). Following the guidelines set by NASA SeaHARRE, we use an internal standard and replicate injects on the HPLC to track recovery and replicability of the pigment extraction methods. Data is unavailable for the Palmer 2009-2010 season due to instrumentation problems and for the Palmer 2011-2012 season due to a freezer failure which resulted in the loss of samples. There is a temporary data gap for the Palmer 2015-2016, Palmer 2016-2017, Palmer 2019-2020, Palmer 2020-2021, and Palmer 2023-2024 seasons because those samples have not been analyzed yet.

Monthly weather averages for Palmer Station, Antarctica (1974-2024)

A long-term timeseries of monthly averaged weather at Palmer Station, Antarctic, was created by combining calculated averages of daily weather from 1989-present with additional historical temperature measurements made between 1974-1989. The selected variables in this dataset include temperature, air pressure, precipitation, sea surface temperature, and wind speed. Monthly averages (means) are made for each calendar month, and dated with the month's start date. Historical monthly average temperatures (through March 1989) are from "Baker, K.S. (1996), Palmer LTER: Palmer Station air temperature 1974 to 1996." Monthly averages from April 1989 onwards are computed from the daily weather averages calculated at Palmer Station and made available by the Antarctic Meteorological Research Center (AMRC) archive at https://amrdcdata.ssec.wisc.edu/group/palmer-station/ The daily averages are available in aggregate form as PAL dataset #28 (knb-lter-pal.28.10), from which this dataset was generated.

Mesozooplankton taxonomic density collected using a 1-m diameter ring net with 200-μm mesh at Palmer Station, Antarctica during Palmer LTER field seasons, 2017-2020

Zooplankton are a morphologically and taxonomically diverse group of animals. Many zooplankton feed on phytoplankton in surface waters and thus provide a link between primary producers and higher trophic levels. The numerical density of common mesozooplankton taxa was determined at Palmer LTER Stations B and E. Samples were collected with a 1-m diameter, 200-μm mesh ring net towed obliquely from the surface to a target depth of 50 m and back. Tows were conducted during daytime, and sampling frequency was nominally twice weekly while personnel were at Palmer Station between the months of November and March. The preserved samples were size-fractionated with nested sieves into five size classes (0.2−0.5, 0.5−1, 1−2, 2−5, and >5 mm) prior to microscopic enumeration. Data are provided for the following taxa: copepods Oithona spp., Calanoides acutus (>1 mm only), Calanus propinquus (>1 mm only), Rhincalanus gigas (>1 mm only), and small calanoids (0.2−1 mm), chaetognaths, asteroid larvae, nemertean larvae, and foraminifera (not quantified in all years). Individual size fractions were split and subsampled such that at least 100 individuals of the most abundant taxon were present. Density varies across taxa, seasonally, among years, and between sampling stations. Units of density are individuals per cubic meter.

Macrozooplankton taxonomic density collected using a 1 x 1 m square net with 700-μm mesh at Palmer Station, Antarctica during Palmer LTER field seasons, 2017-2020

Zooplankton are a morphologically and taxonomically diverse group of animals. Many zooplankton feed on phytoplankton in surface waters and thus provide a link between primary producers and higher trophic levels. The numerical density of common macrozooplankton taxa was determined at Palmer LTER Stations B and E. Samples were collected with a 1 x 1 m square, 700-μm mesh Metro net towed obliquely from the surface to a target depth of 50 m and back. Duplicate tows typically were conducted at each sampling site. Tows were conducted during daytime, and sampling frequency was nominally twice weekly while personnel were at Palmer Station between the months of November and March. The catch was sorted and counted live. Data are provided for the following taxa, which dominated biomass: the euphausiids Euphausia superba and Thysanoessa macrura, the thecosome pteropod Limacina rangii, gymnosome pteropods, the salp Salpa thompsoni, amphipods, and larval fishes. Density varies across taxa, seasonally, among years, and between sampling stations. Units of density are individuals per cubic meter.

Size-fractionated zooplankton dry weight collected using a 1-m diameter ring net with 200-μm mesh at Palmer Station, Antarctica during Palmer LTER field seasons, 2017-2020

Zooplankton are a morphologically and taxonomically diverse group of animals. Many zooplankton feed on phytoplankton in surface waters and thus provide a link between primary producers and higher trophic levels. The density of zooplankton dry weight for five size fractions was determined at Palmer LTER Stations B and E. Samples were collected with a 1-m diameter, 200-μm mesh ring net towed obliquely from the surface to a target depth of 50 m and back. Tows were conducted during daytime, and sampling frequency was nominally twice weekly while personnel were at Palmer Station between the months of November and March. One-half of the catch was size-fractionated with nested sieves into the following five size classes for biomass analysis: 0.2−0.5, 0.5−1, 1−2, 2−5, and >5 mm. Individual size fractions were concentrated on preweighed 200 μm mesh filters and frozen at −20°C until analysis. Samples were thawed, weighed to determine wet biomass, dried at 60°C for at least 24 h, and weighed again to determine dry biomass. Zooplankton density varies across size groups, seasonally, among years, and between sampling stations. Units of biomass density are milligrams dry weight per cubic meter.

Marine Mammal Survey, Sightings and Sampling Event Log at Palmer Station, Antarctica, 2020-2024

Seasonal sea ice-influenced marine ecosystems at both poles are characterized by high productivity concentrated in space and time by local, regional, and remote physical forcing. These polar ecosystems are among the most rapidly changing on Earth. The PALmer (PAL) LTER seeks to build on three decades of long-term research along the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) to gain new mechanistic and predictive understanding of ecosystem changes in response to disturbances spanning long-term, subdecadal, and higher-frequency “pulses” driven by a range of processes, including long-term climate warming, natural climate variability, and storms. These disturbances alter food-web composition and ecological interactions across time and space scales that are not well understood. We seek to determine the differential effects of disturbance and resilience on krill predators with different life histories, foraging behaviors, and demographic patterns. Specifically, changes in foraging behavior can affect adult fitness, body condition, and reproductive rates, as well as offspring survival. Preliminary analyses suggest mean chick fledgling mass decreases later in the austral summer as storm disturbances increase. If storms are not a factor influencing chick mass, parental effects or ecosystem phenology may play a larger role. For whales, changes in foraging effort and increases in body condition should correlate with increased pregnancy rates. We will test for linkages between whale foraging efficiency related to storms with female pregnancy rates the following year. Our prediction is that in seasons with more storms and poorer foraging conditions, fewer whales will become pregnant. However, as whales are long-lived, we predict this will not have a major effect on the long-term positive population trend. We will contribute fundamental understanding of how population dynamics and physiological processes are responding within a polar marine ecosystem undergoing profound change

Photosynthetic pigments of water column samples and analyzed with High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), collected aboard Palmer LTER annual cruises off the coast of the Western Antarctica Peninsula, 1991-2024.

Phytoplankton pigment sampling was led by Prezelin from 1991-1994, and then by Vernet from 1995-2008. Schofield is the third, and current lead, beginning in 2009. Methods have been kept consistent as much as possible over the full time series and different Principal Investigators. Phytoplankton have a suite of accessory pigments in addition to Chlorophyll a, including other Chlorophyll's (e.g. Chlorophyll b), Xanthophylls, and Carotenes. These accessory pigments can be used as chemotaxonomic markers to assess the composition and distribution of the phytoplankton community. For example, Fucoxanthin is a marker pigment of Diatoms, whereas Alloxanthin is a marker pigment of Cryptophytes. Accessory pigments also assist in photoacclimation and photoprotective processes. Water samples are collected throughout the water column along the Western Antarctic Peninsula at regular LTER grid stations where CTD casts are preformed and in surface waters at underway stations, where CTD casts are not done, using the ship's flow-through seawater system. Water samples are filtered onto GF/F filters, and filters kept frozen at -80C until analysis. HPLC analysis is completed following Wright et al (1991). Following the guidelines set by NASA SeaHARRE, we use an internal standard and replicate injects on the HPLC to track recovery and replicability of the pigment extraction methods and the HPLC. Data is unavailable for the LMG10-01 cruise due to instrumentation problems and for the LMG12-01 cruise due to a freezer failure which resulted in the loss of samples. There is no data for 2021 because there was no LTER cruise.
