Water column chlorophyll concentrations from lagoon, river, and 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 from multiple depths are collected during full ice cover (April), ice break-up (mid-June to early July), and open water (late July and August) periods for quantification of chlorophyll-a concentrations. Concentrations are reported in micrograms of chlorophyll per liter of filtered seawater (μg/L).
Colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) absorbance from lagoon, ocean, and river sites along the Alaska Beaufort Sea coast, 2021-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 from multiple depths are collected during full ice cover (April), ice break-up (mid-June to early July), and open water (late July and August) periods, filtered, and analyzed for light absorption spectra within 24 hours of collection. Wavelength-specific light absorption coefficients are reported between 250 and 600 nanometers. The data is organized in "long" or "tidy" format, with columns of station, date, wavelength, and absorption. Please see included MakeColumnsAsWavelengths.R, MakeColumnsAsDates.R, and ReshapeDataInExcel.txt for some common ways to reorganize the table for further CDOM analysis. In 2022, data from 2019 were removed due to quality issues (please see revision 1 of this dataset for 2019 CDOM values). For users who may have used 2019 data from this dataset, there are additional files to inform decisions going forward. "BLE_LTER_CDOM_2019_sample_flags.csv" lists which 2019 samples are entirely unreliable, versus usable with caution. "BLE_LTER_CDOM_2021_blank_mean_sd_absorptions.csv" lists mean and standard deviations at each wavelength from all blanks taken in 2021; this is meant to give info on the instruments used and will not be updated further. Please see the methods section for more information on 2019 data.
Physiochemical water column parameters and hydrographic time series from river, lagoon, and open ocean sites along the Alaska Beaufort Sea coast, 2018-ongoing
To understand circulation and seasonality as part of the Beaufort Lagoon Ecosystem Long Term Ecological Research program, temperature, conductivity, salinity, pressure, depth, and current velocity are recorded hourly in situ, starting August 2018 in lagoons across the Beaufort Sea coast (Elson Lagoon, Kaktovik Lagoon, and Jago Lagoon). Moorings include combinations of 1) RBR Concerto CTDs with temperature, conductivity, and pressure sensors; 2) StarOddi CTs with temperature and conductivity sensors; and 3) Lowell TCM-1 Tilt Current meters with MAT-1 Data Loggers for velocity and bearing. In addition, during BLE LTER's annual sampling, water column physiochemical parameters (chlorophyll a, dissolved oxygen, phycoerythrin concentration, pH, temperature, conductivity, salinity) are measured by hand with a YSI data sonde at river, lagoon, and open ocean sites along the Beaufort Sea coast. Here we provide both quality controlled in situ mooring data and all YSI sonde data.
Total suspended solids from river, lagoon, and open ocean sites along the Alaska Beaufort Sea coast, 2022-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 from multiple depths are collected during full ice cover (April), ice break-up (mid-June to early July), and open water (late July and August) periods for quantification of total suspended solids and total organic suspended solids. Concentrations are reported in milligrams per liter of filtered seawater (mg/L).
Carbon and nitrogen content and stable isotope compositions from particulate organic matter samples from lagoon, river, 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 particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate organic nitrogen (PON) content and stable isotopic composition.
Water column and sediment porewater nutrient concentrations from lagoon, river, and ocean sites along the Alaska Beaufort Sea coast, 2018-ongoing
Several water types (lagoon, river, ocean) and surface sediment porewater samples from the coastal Beaufort Sea system were sampled seasonally to investigate temporal and spatial shifts in nutrient dynamics. Surface and bottom water samples were collected in April, June, July, and August and analyzed for ammonium, nitrate + nitrite, orthophosphate, and silica.
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.

Stable oxygen isotope ratios of water (H2O-d18O) from river, lagoon, and open ocean sites along the Alaska Beaufort Sea coast, 2019-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 delta 18O (ratio of oxygen-18 to oxygen-16) to use in mixing models for source water contribution.
MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Ocean Currents and Biogeochemistry: salinity, temperature and current at CTD and ADCP mooring FOR01 from 2004 ongoing
Moored and bottom-mounted instrumentation (ADCP, CTD, thermistors, wave-tide meters) sampled year-round on the reef of Moorea Island, French Polynesia at LTER 1 fore reef site (FOR01). Sampling began in 2005. All data have been interpolated onto a 20 min grid. ADCP data are organized into 1-meter bins, measured as height from the bottom, to a maximum of 20 bins. All bins may not be filled, and although post-processing attempted to exclude data from bins 'above the surface', users need to exercise caution with the near-surface bins. CTD parameters include Pressure, Temperature, Conductivity, Salinity, and Density. The two moored CTD packages are located approximately 5 and 14 meters above the bottom and there are up to 5 additional temperature thermistors spaced vertically along the mooring line. Note that the upper CTD and temperature thermistor data were terminated in 2020, and the bottom CTD was terminated in February 2022. There are 2 bottom mounted thermistors in the vicinity of the mooring at 10 and 20 meter depth. A bottom-mounted wave-tide meter at 10-meter depth provides a measure of significant wave height and dominant wave period at a 2-hour sampling interval. Tide-related data may be calculated from bottom-mounted pressure sensor data.

<p>Dissolved trace metal (Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb) concentrations in the Indian and Pacific sectors of the Southern Ocean from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition, 2016-2017.</p> <p>Dissolved trace metal (Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb) concentrations measured on seawater samples from the Southern Ocean. Samples were collected with a trace metal clean rosette system to a maximum depth of 1000 m during Legs 1 and 2 of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE), 2016-2017. Samples were filtered through Akropak Supor filters (0.2 um) in a class 100 clean container, acidified to pH ≤ 2 and stored until analysis (>6 months). Samples from Leg 1 (TMR Casts 3-7) were collected during a transect from Cape Town, South Africa to Hobart, Australia. Samples from Leg 2 (TMR casts 8-20) were collected during a transect from Hobart, Australia to Punta Arenas, Chile. Data cover environments near subantarctic and Antarctic islands (TMR 3, 4, 13-15), in the Mertz Glacier Polynya (TMR 11-12) and near the Antarctic Peninsula (TMR 18), as well as meridional transects to and from the Antarctic continent (TMR 7-12, TMR 18-20).</p>
Sea-ice induced Southern Ocean subsurface warming and surface cooling in a warming climate: ROMS model data
<p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>This data set contains model output data from the regional ocean modelling system (ROMS) that was set up for the Southern Ocean (south of 24 °S; Haumann, 2016) to analyze the effects of changing surface freshwater and momentum fluxes on Southern Ocean water-mass changes over the period 1980 to 2011. All data is provided in NetCDF format. The data set contains 3 sets 40-year long model spin-up, control, and 3 perturbation simulations each. The sets differ by their model mean state to assess the effect of surface salinity biases on the results. One set of simulations are reference simulations where salinity is restored to the observed surface salinity during model spin-up, and the other two sets are simulations in which the restoring surface salinity has been altered by plus and minus 0.1 PSU, respectively. The control and perturbation simulations are 40-year extensions of the respective model spin-up simulations. In the perturbation simulations either the surface freshwater fluxes or momentum fluxes are instantaneously perturbed after the spin-up simulation to reflect the observation-derived changes in these surface fluxes and then held constant (at the perturbed level) for 40 years. They consist of sea-ice freshwater flux, glacial meltwater flux, and atmosphere-ocean momentum flux changes. Details on the model setup, forcing, and simulations can be obtained from the related research article by Haumann et al.

Years refer to model years since initiation, i.e. the start of the spin-up simulation, and reach a maximum of 80 at the end of the control and perturbation experiments. Averages are either annual means over an indicated period ('yearly'), overall means over an indicated period ('mean'), or monthly climatologies over an indicated period ('clim'). 'Yearly' and 'Clim' values are provided either for surface fields or vertically integrated fields ('surf'). 'Mean' values are provided on the native vertical model grid as 3D fields. 'Yearly' zonal mean ('zonalmean') values have been first interpolated to from the native vertical model grid to a regular vertical z-level grid and then zonally averaged. All data has been stored in NetCDF format and compressed using level 1 deflation (https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/developer/entry/netcdf_compression).

Data from: Satellite-based Lagrangian model reveals how upwelling and oceanic circulation shape krill hotspots in the California Current System [updated]
<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>In the California Current System, wind-driven nutrient supply and primary production, computed from satellite data, provide a synoptic view of how phytoplankton production is coupled to upwelling. In contrast, linking upwelling to zooplankton populations is difficult due to relatively scarce observations and the inherent patchiness of zooplankton. While phytoplankton respond quickly to environmental forcing, zooplankton grow slower and tend to aggregate into mesoscale “hotspot” regions spatially decoupled from upwelling centers. To better understand mechanisms controlling the formation of zooplankton hotspots, we use a satellite-based Lagrangian method where variables from a plankton model, forced by wind-driven nutrient supply, are advected by near-surface currents following upwelling events. Modeled zooplankton distribution reproduces published accounts of euphausiid (krill) hotspots, including the location of major hotspots and their interannual variability. This satellite-based modeling tool is used to analyze the variability and drivers of krill hotspots in the California Current System, and to investigate how water masses of different origin and history converge to form predictable biological hotspots. The Lagrangian framework suggests that two conditions are necessary for a hotspot to form: a convergence of coastal water masses, and above average nutrient supply where these water masses originated from. The results highlight the role of upwelling, oceanic circulation, and plankton temporal dynamics in shaping krill mesoscale distribution, seasonal northward propagation, and interannual variability.</p> <p><strong>Data set description</strong></p> <p>This data set includes 2 files:</p> <ul> <li>a satellite-based 1993-2023 monthly retrospective of krill concentrations (Zbig) modeled using the growth-advection method in the California Current upwelling system.

Seawater chromium concentrations and isotope compositions in the Southern Ocean during the austral summer of 2016/2017, on board the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>Dissolved seawater chromium (Cr) concentrations and stable isotope compositions measured on samples collected with a trace metal clean rosette system in the Southern Ocean. Stations TM 7 to TM 12 reflect a north-south transect from Hobart, Tasmania to Mertz Glacier in Antarctica. Stations TM 14 and TM 15 neighbour the Balleny Islands. Stations TM 18 and TM 20 are located in the Drake Passage. Water samples were collected down to a depth of 1000 metres. The water was filtered in a class 100 clean container aboard the ship through pre-rinsed Supor Acropak capsule filters (0.2 um). Subsequently the samples were acidified and stored at a pH < 2 for several months prior to analysis. Reported values therefore represent bulk seawater chromium (Cr III and Cr VI). The data was obtained using the double-spike technique.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>ace_chromium_isotope_concentration.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>data_file_header.txt, metadata, text format</li> <li>README.txt, metadata, text format</li> </ul> <p><strong>Dataset license</strong></p> <p>This chromium concentration and isotope composition dataset is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) whose full text can be found at <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p>
Size-Fractionated Chlorophyll a, Primary Productivity, and Photosynthetic Physiological Parameters of Phytoplankton in the Cosmonaut Sea, Southern Ocean, During Summer 2022
This dataset provides vertical distribution profiles of size-fractionated phytoplankton parameters measured in the Cosmonaut Sea, a marginal ice zone in the Southern Ocean, during the austral summer of 2022. Sampling was conducted across multiple stations spanning latitudes from approximately 33°N to 60°N and longitudes from -62°E to -67°E, focusing on surface and subsurface waters up to depths of about 40 meters. The data capture key aspects of phytoplankton physiology and productivity in this dynamic polar environment, influenced by seasonal ice melt and nutrient availability. Parameters include chlorophyll a concentrations (Chl a), primary productivity indicators such as maximum photosynthetic rates (PBm), photosynthetic efficiency (α), saturation irradiance (Ek), and integrated gross primary productivity (IGPPeu), all differentiated by size fractions: net phytoplankton (>20 μm), nano- and pico-phytoplankton (<20 μm), and total community. Additional measurements encompass photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and mixed layer depths, providing context for light and stratification effects on phytoplankton dynamics. Data were derived from in situ incubations and fluorometric analyses, with values reported for discrete depths at each station to highlight vertical gradients in biomass and photosynthetic performance. This completed dataset is particularly valuable for studies on polar marine ecosystems, carbon cycling, and climate-driven changes in phytoplankton communities, offering insights into how size-structured assemblages respond to environmental gradients in the Southern Ocean. It does not include taxonomic details beyond general phytoplankton groupings but emphasizes physiological metrics for modeling primary production in ice-influenced regions.
MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Ocean Currents and Biogeochemistry: salinity, temperature and current at CTD and ADCP mooring FOR04 from 2004 ongoing
Moored and bottom-mounted instrumentation (ADCP, CTD, thermistors, wave-tide meters) sampled year-round on the reef of Moorea Island, French Polynesia at LTER 4 fore reef site (FOR04). Sampling began in 2005. All data have been interpolated onto a 20 min grid. ADCP data are organized into 1-meter bins, measured as height from the bottom, to a maximum of 20 bins. All bins may not be filled, and although post-processing attempted to exclude data from bins 'above the surface', users need to exercise caution with the near-surface bins. CTD parameters include Pressure, Temperature, Conductivity, Salinity, and Density. The two moored CTD packages are located approximately 5 and 14 meters above the bottom, and there are up to 5 additional temperature thermistors spaced vertically along the mooring line. Note that the upper CTD and temperature thermistor data were terminated in January 2020. Bottom CTD was terminated July 2021. There are 2 bottom mounted thermistors in the vicinity of the mooring at 10 and 20 meter depth. A bottom-mounted wave-tide meter provides a measure of significant wave height and dominant wave period at a 2-hour sampling interval. Tide-related data may be calculated from bottom-mounted pressure sensor data.

Dataset: Environmental drivers of under-ice phytoplankton bloom dynamics in the Arctic Ocean
<p>This dataset is linked to this manuscript entitled "Environmental drivers of under-ice phytoplankton bloom dynamics in the Arctic Ocean" published in Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene (<a href="http://doi.org/10.1525/elementa.430">http://doi.org/10.1525/elementa.430</a>). Please find the abstract below:</p> <p>The decline of sea-ice thickness, area, and volume due to the transition from multi-year to first-year sea ice improves the under-ice light environment for pelagic Arctic ecosystems. One unexpected and direct consequence of this transition, the proliferation of under-ice phytoplankton blooms (UIBs), challenges the paradigm that waters beneath the ice pack harbor little planktonic life. Little is known about the diversity and spatial distribution of UIBs in the Arctic Ocean, or the environmental drivers behind their timing, magnitude, and species composition. Here, we compiled a unique and comprehensive dataset from seven major research projects in the Arctic Ocean (11 expeditions, covering the spring sea-ice-covered period to summer ice-free conditions) to identify the environmental drivers responsible for initiating and shaping the magnitude and assemblage structure of UIBs. The temporal dynamics behind UIB formation related to the ways that snow and sea-ice conditions impact the under-ice light field. In particular, the onset of snowmelt significantly increased under-ice light availability (> 0.1–0.2 mol photons m<sup>–2</sup> d<sup>–1</sup>), marking the concomitant termination of the sea-ice algal bloom and initiation of UIBs. At the pan-Arctic scale, bloom magnitude (expressed as maximum chlorophyll <em>a </em>concentration) was predicted best by winter water Si(OH)<sub>4</sub> and PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3–</sup> concentrations, as well as Si(OH)<sub>4</sub>:NO<sub>3</sub><sup>–</sup> and PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3–</sup>:NO<sub>3</sub><sup>–</sup><sub> </sub>drawdown ratios, but not NO<sub>3</sub><sup>–</sup> concentration. Two main phytoplankton assemblages dominated UIBs (diatoms or <em>Phaeocystis</em>), driven primarily by the winter nitrate:silicate (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>–</sup>:Si(OH)<sub>4</sub>) ratio and the under-ice light climate. <em>Phaeocystis</em> co-dominated in low Si(OH)<sub>4</sub> (i.e., NO<sub>3</sub>:Si(OH)<sub>4</sub> molar ratios > 1) waters, while diatoms contributed the bulk of UIB biomass when Si(OH)<sub>4</sub> was high (i.e., NO<sub>3</sub>:Si(OH)<sub>4</sub> molar ratios < 1). The implications of such differences in UIB composition could have important ramifications for Arctic biogeochemical cycles, and ultimately impact carbon flow to higher trophic levels and the deep ocean.</p>
