Report to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce: A preliminary investigation of upwelling as a source of nutrients to Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary

Recent studies demonstrating the importance of upwelling to the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem as well as the productivity of the outer southeastern U.S. continental shelf suggested the need for an assessment of the importance of upwelled nutrients to Looe Key Marine Sanctuary. The present study provides one year (October 1984 to October 1985) time series of temperature and nutrients with bihourly and 7-10 day resolution, respectively.
