SWL12 Sediment parameters

Project:

Summary

This dataset contains summary measurements of surface sediment collected at each station for the identified cruise, including: sediment grain size (≤0 phi, 1 phi, 2 phi, 3 phi, 4 phi, ≥5 phi, 1-4 phi, and modal phi size), total organic carbon (TOC), total organic nitrogen (TON), C/N and surface sediment chlorophyll (chl a). Surface sediment chlorophyll (chl a) content is scaled up to mg Chl a/m2.
