Summary of publicly available data from deep sea scientific research in American Samoa, including a list of expeditions and the data types collected on them, a list of deployments during those expeditions, a list of rocks samples collected on those deployments, a list of animal specimens collected on those expeditions, and a list of eDNA samples collected on those expeditions. Where data are publicly available from those samples/deployments, a link is included.

This dataset contains phytoplankton pigment concentrations for samples collected from the upper 200 meters at most stations along the GP17-OCE cruise on R/V Roger Revelle (RR2214), from Tahiti south across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to 67S, then east towards Chile. Samples were collected at the upper-most 4-6 stations, and from surface waters with a towed fish. The expedition took place from December 2022 to January 2023.

Data presented here are discrete bottle samples for BATS validation (BVAL) cruise 50001 (April 1991) through BVAL cruise 50061 (June/July 2024). The sample parameter list has been mostly consistent for the full time-series record and includes: salinity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, nutrients (nitrate + nitrite, nitrite, phosphate, silicate), particulate organics (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous), particulate silicate, total organic carbon and nitrogen, total dissolved phosphorus, bacterial enumeration, and flow cytometry counts of picoplankton.

This dataset includes the processed bottle data from CTD profiles of the ODF rosette deployed on the US GEOTRACES GP17-OCE cruise on R/V Roger Revelle (RR2214) from December 2022 to January 2023. Data were processed by the Oceanographic Data Facility (ODF) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The data include bottle salinity and oxygen, in addition to CTD measurements (oxygen, salinity, temperature, pressure).

This dataset includes the nutrients and bottle oxygen measurements made by the Ocean Data Facility (ODF) group of Scripps Institution of Oceanography during the US GEOTRACES GP17-OCE cruise. The cruise took place on R/V Roger Revelle (cruise ID RR2214) from December 2022 to January 2023 in the South Pacific and Southern Oceans.

Data presented here are discrete bottle samples from the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site located 80 km SE of Bermuda (31°40N, 64°10W) in the Sargasso Sea for October 1988 (cruise 10001) through December 2024 (cruise 10422). Measurements were collected from the core monthly BATS cruises and the near-biweekly (depending on ship availability) BATS Bloom cruises during February through April. The sample parameter list has been mostly consistent for the full time-series record and includes: salinity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, nutrients (nitrate + nitrite, nitrite, phosphate, silicate), particulate organics (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous), particulate silicate, total organic carbon and nitrogen, total dissolved phosphorus, bacterial enumeration, and flow cytometry counts of picoplankton. The HPLC derived phytoplankton pigment data which are collected synoptically with many of the above parameters are reported in a separate dataset.

Data presented here contain elemental sinking fluxes of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus (C, N, P) from the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study site from December 1988 (BATS Cruise 3) through December 2024 (BATS cruise 422). The BATS program uses a method developed by Knauer et al. (1979) which was used extensively in the VERTEX program. In summary, to trap oceanic sediment flux, BATS uses a floating array comprised of polycarbonate tubes (7 cm diameter by 53 cm height) containing a buffered brine solution, with polycarbonate filters at the bottom to collect flux. Four tubes are deployed at each depth (150, 200, and 300 meters) and three additional tubes for blank counts are prepared but not deployed. The floating sediment trap array with collection tubes is deployed during monthly BATS cruises for a target time of 72 hours, but deployment time is subject to change depending on weather and/or emergency conditions. After recovery, the filters are examined under a microscope to remove swimming zooplankton caught on the traps to prevent skewed end results. Three samples from each depth are acidified to remove inorganic carbon before measuring organic carbon and nitrogen using a CE440 Elemental Analyzer, while the remaining non-acidified sample is used for total carbon estimates. Additional tubes are also prepared and deployed (three per depth) for phosphorus samples that are analyzed at Bigelow Laboratory of Ocean Sciences using a separate analytical procedure supervised by Dr. Michael Lomas.

Individual phytoplankton cells were collected on the US GEOTRACES Arctic cruise GN01 (HLY1502) on USCGC Healy in August-October 2015. The elemental (Si, P, S, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) content of each cell was measured with synchrotron x-ray fluorescence (SXRF). Carbon was calculated from biovolume. Data can be used to assess biogenic particulate metal fraction, as well as changes in the accumulation of these elements across environmental gradients. Data are part of the larger international GEOTRACES dataset.
