Description

Trace element concentrations in particles collected with GO-Flo bottles (GT10 and GT11) and analyzed with inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).  Concentrations of labile, refractory, and total metal fractions are reported.

Trace element quotas measured in plankton cells with single-cell synchrotron x-ray fluorescence (SXRF) analysis. Total concentrations of cellular metals are reported normalized to cellular P.

Please note that data may not be final, pending intercalibration results and further analysis. If you are interested in following changes to US GEOTRACES data, there is an RSS feed available from the GEOTRACES-NAT project page.
