Abstract

This dataset includes particulate organic matter (POM) concentrations for carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Data are from samples collected from NOAA Ship R/V Ronald H. Brown (cruise EXPOCODE: 33RO20180423), acting under the auspices of the Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP), I07N GO-SHIP/CO2 Repeat Hydrography Cruise in 2018.

The operating area was in the western Indian Ocean. The I07N section runs across the Madagascar and Mascarene Basins in the south, crosses the Amirante Trench, and after the Seychelles Bank it crosses the Somalia Basin, Carlsberg Ridge, and the Arabian Sea in the north.
