Sample collection methods: -------------------------- Reactive Nutrients (Phosphate, nitrate, silicate): - Collected in Van Dorn samplers (productivity casts) or bottles (hydrographic casts). Biological and Productivity: - Collected in Van Dorn samplers. Analyzes methods: ----------------- Chlorophyll and nutrients were analyzed using methods from Bulletin 125 Fisheries Research Board of Canada 1960 "A manual of seawater analysis" J.D.H. Strickland and T.R. Parsons, and subsequent editions. Productivity rates are measured on samples incubated at surface temperatures and at simulated in situ radiation levels. Productivity values should be used with caution, Table 3 in reference 1 lists those samples where abnormal values occur. In the data report many productivity values were represented as "<.01". It is unclear what this means. In our files this value is indicated as "0.01" References: 1. Stephens, K. 1977. Primary Productivity Data from Weatherships Occupying Ocean Station "P" 1969 to 1975.
