Description

Hydrographic data and water samples collected during casts with a CTD-rosette system (SBE911plus equipped with a fluorometer, transmissometer, oxygen sensor, and a PAR sensor)

Nutrient samples were run at sea using a Lachat QuickChem 8000 flow-injection analyzer equipped with the following methods:

Phosphate                    31-115-01-1-I
Silicate                                     31-114-27-1-B
Nitrate+Nitrite             31-107-04-1-A
Nitrite                          31-107-05-1-A

Particle (particulate N and C) samples for stable isotope (d15N, d13C) were collected and analyzed following methods in Montoya et al. 2002.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

The ship’s Underway system was equipped with an in-line Seabird thermosalinograph to collect sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salinity (SSS) data from 5-7m below sea surface.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Supplied Name: Seabird SBE 11plus v5.2 for CTD bottle data. Individual sensor details and calibration info provided in the “notes” sheet of the excel file.

Supplied Description:

Seabird SBE 11plus v5.2 for CTD bottle data. Individual sensor details and calibration info provided in the Supplemental File seabird_header.txt

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Acronym: CTD SBE 911plus

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0058/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 911 plus is a type of CTD instrument package for continuous measurement of conductivity, temperature and pressure. The SBE 911 plus includes the SBE 9plus Underwater Unit and the SBE 11plus Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) for deployment from a vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 plus and SBE 11 plus is called a SBE 911 plus. The SBE 9 plus uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 plus and SBE 4). The SBE 9 plus CTD can be configured with up to eight auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, light (PAR), light transmission, etc.). more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer

Supplied Name: Micromass Optima or Isoprime 100

Supplied Description:

Stable isotopes were measured using continuous-flow isotope-ratio mass spectrometry (CF-IRMS) on either a Micromass Optima or Isoprime 100. Both instruments were interfaced to a Carlo Erba elemental analyzer.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer

Acronym: IR Mass Spec; IRMS

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB16/

Generic Description:

The Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer is a particular type of mass spectrometer used to measure the relative abundance of isotopes in a given sample (e.g. VG Prism II Isotope Ratio Mass-Spectrometer).

Lachat QuikChem 8000 flow injection analyzer and Ion Chromatography (IC) system

Supplied Name: Lachat Quikchem 8000 Series

Supplied Description:

Lachat Quikchem 8000 Series for dissolved, inorganic nutrients

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Lachat QuikChem 8000 flow injection analyzer and Ion Chromatography (IC) system

Generic Description:

The Lachat QuikChem 8000 can operate flow injection analysis and ion chromatography simultaneously and independently on the same instrument platform. Instrument includes sampler, dilutor, sampling pump, electronics unit, and data station. Analysis takes 20-60 seconds, with a sample throughput of 60-120 samples per hour. Measurements are in the range of parts per trillion to parts per hundred.
