Description

Dissolved inorganic carbon from samples collected during the POWOW1 (TN277) and POWOW2 (KM1301) cruises.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

DIC was measured on mercuric chloride poisoned samples by acidification and subsequent quantification of released CO2 using a CO2 detector (Li-Cor 7000). DIC samples were collected following recommended procedures (Dickson et al., 2007) and measurements were calibrated against Certified Reference Materials provided by Dr. A. G. Dickson at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), University of California, San Diego (UCSD).

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO edits made:
- Parameter names have been changed to conform to BCO-DMO conventions.
- month_utc, day_utc, year, and time_utc were added, based on the original ISO_DateTime_UTC field.
- Rosette bottle numbers were added from the CTD cast sheets.
- Replaced 'NaN' with 'nd' to indicate 'no data'.

NOTE: During cast CTD01 of POWOW1, all bottles were fired at 25m depth. The bottle numbers displayed in the data for CTD01 of POWOW1 are those bottles from which DIC was measured.

Instruments

LI-COR LI-7000 Gas Analyzer

Supplied Description:

Released CO2 was quantified using a Li-Cor 7000 CO2 detector.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: LI-COR LI-7000 Gas Analyzer

Acronym: LI-COR LI-7000

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/382/

Generic Description:

The LI-7000 CO2/H2O Gas Analyzer is a high performance, dual cell, differential gas analyzer. It was designed to expand on the capabilities of the LI-6262 CO2/ H2O Gas Analyzer. A dichroic beam splitter at the end of the optical path provides radiation to two separate detectors, one filtered to detect radiation absorption of CO2 and the other to detect absorption by H2O. The two separate detectors measure infrared absorption by CO2 and H2O in the same gas stream. The LI-7000 CO2/ H2O Gas Analyzer is a differential analyzer, in which a known concentration (which can be zero) gas is put in the reference cell, and an unknown gas is put in the sample cell.
