Nutrients, sedimentation and total suspended solids in the St. Thomas East End Reserves in the Caribbean Sea from 2012-01-16 to 2013-11-25 (NCEI Accession 0139480)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 27, 2026 at 08:10 PM | Dataset Last Updated: January 15, 2016 at 12:00 AM
This data set contains the results from monitoring in the St. Thomas East End Reserves (STEER) in St. Thomas, USVI, from January 2012 to November 2013. The monitoring was conducted by project partners at the University of the Virgin Islands, and was part of a larger project to conduct an integrated assessment of the STEER. The data set includes measurements of nitrate, nitrate, ammonium, urea, orthophosphate, dissolved inorganic nitrogen, dissolved organic nitrogen, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, orthophosphate, bulk sediment deposition, terrigenous, organic, and carbonate sediment fractions, and total suspended solids (TSS).
