Biochemical parameters including iron, macronutrients, Chlorophyll-a, particulate organic matter, and particulate exopolysaccharides measured within East Antarctic first-year land-fast and pack sea ice. Data were collected from nine stations along the Wilkes Land and King George V Land Coast during austral mid-late summer 2016/17. This dataset supports a manuscript submitted to the Journal of Geophysical Research in January 2020.
Use Cases
- Modeling iron distribution in Antarctic sea ice based on measured iron concentrations.
- Analyzing seasonal nutrient dynamics based on macronutrient measurements.
- Studying phytoplankton biomass and productivity based on Chlorophyll-a data.
- Investigating organic carbon pools in sea ice based on particulate organic matter measurements.
- Examining microbial exopolymer production based on particulate exopolysaccharides data.
Strengths
- Data collected from nine distinct stations along the East Antarctic coast.
- Focuses on multiple biochemical parameters including iron, a key micronutrient.
- Supports a peer-reviewed manuscript submitted to the Journal of Geophysical Research.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
