NOAA data report ERL AOML 19

During the period of 3 January-18 February 1990, a multifaceted oceanographic research cruise called the RITS 1990 Tropical Paacific Ozone Minimum Expedition was made on the NOAA ship MALCOLM BALDRIGE in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. The objective of the cruise was to study processes controlling radiatively important trace species in the region of the tropical Pacific ozone minimum in the central equatorial Pacific Ocean. Measurements from hydrocasts for nutrients, phytoplankton biomass, and primary productivity were made during this period. This report represents the hydrographic, nutrient, and biological data from this cruise.
