Near-surface Nutrients Data from Gulf of Alaska Fjords, 2004-2011

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: July 15, 2025 | Last Modified: 20241017
This dataset contains nutrient data collected at stations within four fjords in the coastal area of the Gulf of Alaska. Sea water samples were collected with a Seabird Electronics Ecosampler SBE55 attached to a conductivity-temperature-depth profiler. Bottles were fired at the surface (0 m) and from 8 m (in Glacier Bay, AK in 2004) or 10 m (in Prince William Sound, AK in 2010 and in Icy Bay and Yakutat Bay, AK in 2011). Samples were processed for nitrite (NO2), nitrate (NO3), ammonium (NH4), phosphate (PO4), and silicic acid (SIOH4).
