Liqing et al.
Please find attached 2 separate excel files.
As requested I have separated out the two tabs so that now one file contains the data and the other the meta data.
These are revised files regarding Accession Number: 0123467

The only differences to the data file exist to the right of the chlorophyll column (AG: Chlorophyll a concentration g/L).

Previously we submitted the following parameters:
POM Vol filtered ml
N conc in filter mg/L
CORG conc in filter mg/L
PN mol
POC conc mol
C:Npom mol

There was a bit of discussion about whether this would confuse people if someone were to compare it to Carlson/Nelson/Hansel CLIVAR data sets 
which reported as TOC and TON in umol/kg.
After consulting with Craig Carlson and Miguel Goni, it was decided it would be best to change the columns as follows:

PON mol/L
POC mol/L
POC/PON mol/mol
PON mol/kg
POC mol/kg

The metadata for these parameters also has changed slightly to reflect the new column headers.
Everything else should be the same as it was.
Feel free to contact me with further questions or comments.
Apologies for the revision.
