We are grateful to Ken Dunton for advice and
assistance. The high quality SBI nutrient data
were made possible by the hard work of Susan
Becker and her colleagues in the SIO
Oceanographic Data Facility service team. We
also thank the officers, crews, and science teams
of USCGC Healy, USCGC Polar Star, and RVIB Palmer
for considerable assistance. Our thanks to Bob
Pickart and Terry McKee for rapid access to
nutrient data from the most recent mooring cruise
(HLY-03-03). This work was supported by grants
to The University of Texas Marine Science
Institute and UCSD Scripps Institution of
Oceanography from the National Science Foundation.
