Nitrate isotopes were measured by the denitrifier method. Nutrients were analyzed onboard using a Technicon AA3 Auto-Analyzer (Ban-Lube, GmbH). Dissolved oxygen (DO) was determined using the Winkler method. These data were used to elucidate nitrate dynamics in these regions.112.58129.8914.021.67Philippine SeaSouth China Sea
