Title: CHLOROPHYLL A and PHAEOPIGMENTS profile data collected in the North Atlantic Ocean on the ENDEAVOR cruises EN259, EN262 and others as part of the GB project from 1995-01-11 to 1995-06-16 (NODC Accession 0104395)
Abstract: NODC Accession 0104395 includes profile and biological data collected aboard the ENDEAVOR during cruises EN259, EN262, EN264, EN266 and EN267II in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1995-01-11 to 1995-06-16. These data include CHLOROPHYLL A and PHAEOPIGMENTS. The instruments used to collect these data include bottle. These data were collected by James P. Manning of National Marine Fisheries Service and Dian J. Gifford of University of Rhode Island as part of GB. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-01-17.

Extracted Chlorophyll and Phaeopigment
DMO note: The data reported consists of three replicates per each depth horizon sampled.
PI Responsible: Dian J. Gifford
Samples for water column chlorophyll and phaeopigment were collected and analyzed during the following Vital rates 1995 U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank process cruises:

EN259
EN262
EN264
EN266
EN267B (aka EN267II and EN267 LEG 2)
Water Collection: Seawater was collected using 10-L teflon-lined Go-flo bottles mounted on the Neil Brown CTD rosette. Water was drained into opaque brown 1-L bottles immediately after collection and refrigerated until processed. Samples were collected onto filters within one hour of water collection. In areas where the water column was well mixed, water was collected from the top, middle and bottom of the water column. When the water column was stratified, water was collected from the top, middles and bottom of the water column as well as around the hydrographic features of interest.
Sample Processing: Samples were prepared for total, Sample Analysis: The filters were removed from defrosted test tubes with a clean stainless steel spatula, the tube wiped clean with a Kimwipe, and samples read on a Turner Designs Model 10 fluorometer before and after acidification with 10% HCl (Parsons et al., 1984).
Caveat: In general, pigment concentrations in the Data Use: The data are available for use by any scientific investigator who wishes to use them. The PI must be consulted prior to publication.
