These data constitute Release 3.0 of the Marine Pigments, Productivity, and Associated Chemistry Data Dictionary, developed by Dr. William Balch and Mr. Charles Byrne of Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami, FL. The data format is designed for archiving phytoplankton pigment and productivity data in association with the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS). This version supersedes previous releases of these data. Data were collected during multiple studies world-wide. Parameters include: Date, position, originator, nitrate, phosphate, carbon, chlorophyll, phaeophytin, and other pigments, fluorescence/and or light transmission measurements, methodology, and climate. A complete file listing and the record format is included with the data. 192 files containing 18357 profiles of phytoplankton data were received from NODC's Ocean Climate Laboratory.
