Dataset: Dissolved Organic Matter, nutrients and CTD data collected during R/V Oceanus cruise OC404-01 and R/V Weatherbird II cruise WB0409 in the Sargasso Sea in June 2004 (EDDIES project)

Dissolved Organic Matter, nutrients and CTD data are reported by Dennis Hansell of the Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science (RSMAS), University of Miami.

Methodology: none provided with data; see Li and Hansell (2008)

DMO note: the original data file included Type B (B indicates bottle sample) and bottom depth reported as 700 meters for all stations (the target depth of the casts); depth_n added to enable merge with bottle data. Parameter quality flags are integer values ranging from 0 through 8: 0 is very good; 1 is OK; 4 is questionable; 8 is bad.
