1. File Name:  99LPRESP.ALa
     Data File Name:  99LPRESP.ALb

2. Year:  1999

3. PI:  L. R. Pomeroy

4. Others:  None

5.  Description:  Respiratory rates of near-surface water from Altamaha
River for Survey cruise, February 1999.

6.  Keywords:  respiration oxygen lmer8

7.  Research Location:  latitude-longitude

8.  Methods:  Precision Winklers of unfiltered river water before and after
12 h incubations at in-situ temperature in dark incubators aboard R/V Blue
Fin.  See Pomeroy et al. 1994.  Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 60: 328-332 for
detailed methods.

9.  Notes:  Two boats were used in these surveys;  two samples at different
locations at the same time sometimes happen. Some samples are outside the
inlet, E. G. minus 4 km (-4).

11.  calculations:   see 8.  Respiratory rates are given as micromoles
oxygen per liter per hour.
