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 (NCEI Accession 0117322)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 02:30 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 01, 2014 at 12:00 AM
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).
