Description
These two files capture the bulk of the data behind our study "Arctic mid-winter phytoplankton growth revealed by autonomous profilers", published in Science Advances: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/39/eabc2678
Specifically, "Baffin-Bay-2017-19-BGC-floats.csv" contains vertical profiles of optical, biogeochemical, and hydrographic data as sampled by the biogeochemical Argo floats. "Baffin-Bay-2017-19-lightfield-model.csv" contains vertical profiles of daily photosynthetically available radiation as modelled following A. Morel, Light and marine photosynthesis: A spectral model with geochemical and climatological implications. Prog. Oceanogr. 26, 263–306 (1991).
These data were sampled by autonomous BGC Argo floats from July 2017 through July 2019 in Baffin Bay, an Arctic sea situated between Nunavut (Canada) and Greenland.
Our study makes use of several other ancillary data sets. These are archived together with the complete workflow to produce the analysis and manuscript at doi:10.5281/zenodo.3945046.
These data were collected and made freely available by the International Argo Program and the national programs that contribute to it. (http://www.argo.ucsd.edu, http://argo.jcommops.org). The Argo Program is part of the Global Ocean Observing System. See https://doi.org/10.17882/42182
