Title: Physical, chemical, and biological data collected during two research cruises in the Ross Sea, Antarctica from 2004-12 to 2005-01 and October to November 2005 for Ross Sea Sulfur Dynamics study (NODC Accession 0117322)
Abstract: This dataset contains transect data from two research cruises to the Ross Sea, Antarctica, aboard the RV Nathaniel B. Palmer (NBP) in December 2004 to January 2005 (NBP04-09) and in October to November 2005 (NBP05-08). Water samples were collected from the ship's underway pumping system in the aft laboratory, which has an intake at 4 m depth, and from CTD casts with Niskin bottle sampling (up to 737 m). Samples were analyzed for concentration and biological turnover rate of sulfur compounds, particularly dimethylsulfide (DMS) and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP).

2 types of data were collected during the research cruises:
A) Along-track transect samples were collected from the ship's underway pumping system, with an intake at 4 m depth, and additional CTD casts with Niskin bottle sampling were conducted approximately once per day at a depth of 4 m during NBP05-08.

B) Vertical profile samples were collected by CTD cast with Niskin bottle sampling up to a depth of 737 m.
