The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Algae, bacteria, DOC, inorganic and organic nutrients collected from the Richard B Gump Research Station at Moorea LTER from 2010-2011 (MCR LTER and Coral DOM projects) (NCEI Accession 0278785) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains biological, chemical, physical, and survey - biological data collected at Richard B Gump Research Station - Moorea LTER during deployments MCR10-1 and MCR11-1 in the South Pacific Ocean from 2010-09-09 to 2011-09-14. These data include Ammonium, Nitrate, Nitrite, SiOH_4, Total Dissolved Nitrogen, abundance, depth, depth_bottom, dissolved Oxygen, dissolved organic Carbon, nitrate plus nitrite, pH, particulate organic Carbon (POC), particulate organic nitrogen, prochlorococcus abundance, reactive phosphorus (PO4), and synechococcus abundance. The instruments used to collect these data include Flow Cytometer and Niskin bottle. These data were collected by Dr Craig Carlson of University of California-Santa Barbara as part of the "Moorea Coral Reef Long-Term Ecological Research site (MCR LTER)" and "The coupling between DOM, algae, and microbes on coral reef platforms (Coral DOM)" projects and "Emerging Topics in Biogeochemical Cycles (ETBC)" and "Long Term Ecological Research network (LTER)" programs. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-02-22. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Moorea Coral Reef algae, bacteria, DOC, inorganic and organic nutrients Dataset Description: This dataset contains experimental and survey biogeochemical and microbial data from samples collected at the Moorea Coral Reef LTER site (French Polynesia). Goals of the study were to investigate how benthic primary producers directly affect seawater chemistry (DO and DOC) and to examine impacts of released DOC on reef bacterioplankton growth and respiration. Rates of photosynthesis, respiration, and DOC release were assessed for several benthic reef organisms (Haas et al. 2011). |

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: 2010 and 2011 Data Acquisition: Sampling from small boats occurred along transects at the Moorea Coral Reef LTER sites during September 2010 and September 2011. Benthic producers were collected from water depths of 1.0 to 1.5 meters at back and fringe reef locations. Bacterioplankton abundance was determined using flow cytometry (Nelson et al. 2011). DOC was measured by a high-temperature TOC analyzer according to methods of Carlson et al. (2010). To assess DOC release by primary producers, each benthic species was incubated using the method of Herndl and Velimirov (Haas et al. 2011). To determine if DOC released by primary producers affects mirobial populations, ~48 hour dark dilution culture incubations were performed to measure changes in concentration of DO, DOC, and bacterioplankton over time (Haas et el. 2011).
