      <abstract>Water column sampling for nutrient chemistries (NO2+NO3, NO2,
      Si(OH)4, PO4 and NH4) were collected using a CTD niskin rosette sampler
      during 4 cruises to the Antarctic, April-September 2001 and 2002. The
      general survey area includes: the continental margin to the west of the
      Antarctic Peninsula extending from the northern tip of Adelaide Island to
      the southern portion of Alexander Island, Marguerite Bay, and seaward to
      depths of 3000 meters. Analytical methods used for silica, phosphate,
      nitrite, and nitrate follow the recommendations of Gordon et al. (1993)
      for the WOCE WHP project. Ammonia followed modified methods reported by
      Grosshoff (1976). An upgraded five-channel Technicon Autoanalyzer II
      system was used for sample analysis. Gordon, L.I., J.C. Jennings, Jr.,
