Consequently, dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) are thought to be the primary sources of assimilative nutrients on the WFS. Here we report measurements of total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) and total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) concentrations made on samples collected on a cruise in July of 2023 aboard the R/V Endeavor. Elevated concentrations of TDN (>12 µM) and TDP (>0.5 µM) were observed in the shallow, nearshore region, while to the west concentrations of both TDN and TDP decreased to values typically associated with oligotrophic North Atlantic waters (4 to 5 µM TDN and 0.05 to 0.1 µM TDP).\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nCRUISE_ID (unitless)\nSTING_ID (unitless)\nEVTNBR (unitless)\ntime (Iso_datetime_utc, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nDATE_UTC (unitless)\nTIME_UTC (unitless)\nDATE_SHIP (unitless)\nTIME_SHIP (unitless)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\nPLATFORM (unitless)\nCASTNBR (unitless)\nSTNNBR (unitless)\nTRANSECT_LOCATION (unitless)\nINC_NBR (unitless)\nINC_TREATMENT (unitless)\nINC_TIME (hours)\nBTLNBR (unitless)\n...
