Scientist - find data - to calculate a Nitrogen budget for an algal population

[mobb]

As a...

Scientist (or scientific data analyst)

I want to...

Find datasets of

• ocean column nutrient concentrations, thermal structure, ocean currents,
• freshwater flow (land runoff) and related nutrient concentrations,
• ammonium and urea sources from pore water concentrations and estimates of pumping,
• kelp primary production (growth) rates and
• kelp carbon:nitrogen content ratios.

So that...

to model the relative importance of different sources of nitrogen to the annual requirements for growth of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera by characterizing their delivery.

Domain(s)

Oceanography, nutrient chemistry, hydrology, algal growth and content

Addition Information

This analysis has been accomplished manually (https://doi.org/10.1002/lol2.10088), and some datasets are cited therein. In total, 10-12 datasets were employed (all publicly available data). As some of these datasets are ongoing, the analysis could be repeated (e.g, under a changing climate regime) or adapted for a different species of algae or functional group (bulk phytoplankton). Annotation of appropriate time series would greatly assist that effort.

Dear @mobb could you please check whether the assigned labels fit as use cases for your user story? Please check this table to find a better or additional use case which matches better your user story.

@mabablue these look fine.
