This dataset contains laboratory analyses and profile data collected on OCEANUS in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2004-06-24 to 2005-08-25. The instruments used to collect these data include Niskin Bottle. These data were collected by Kenneth O. Buesseler of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the EDDIES project(s). The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2011-12-31.

The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO:
