Abstract:

These are data on the measurement of particulate organic carbon, particulate organic nitrogen, chlorophyll among total (> 0.6 um size fraction) and large (> 5 um size fraction) plankton on the Mississippi-Alabama shelf during the 2016 Consortium for Oil Spill Exposure Pathways in Coastal River-Dominated Ecosystems (CONCORDE) process cruises.

Purpose:

Rates of biological productivity were determined through a consortia partnership with the Alabama Center for Ecological Resilience (ACER) and Consortium for Oil Spill Exposure Pathways in Coastal River-Dominated Ecosystems (CONCORDE). The shared goal for each consortium was to understand the spatial and temporal variability in biological productivity rates. This information is critical for providing baseline information to understanding the potential effects of anthropogenic (e.g. oil spill) or natural (e.g. hurricane) disturbances on biological productivity in the Mississippi-Alabama shelf in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
