Description

Trace metals (Li, Na, Mg, Al, P, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Zr, Cd, Sn, Sb, Cs, Ba, La, Nd, Pb, Th, U) and major seawater anions (Cl, NO3, SO4) in unfiltered rainwater from the 2010 and 2011 U.S. GEOTRACES North Atlantic Transect cruises.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Rain samples were collected in acid-washed 1 L LDPE bottles fitted with a funnel (diameter 27.94 square centimeters) positioned in a 25 L bucket deployed on an N-CON precipitation sampler (model 00-120-2) attached to the forward railings of the ship’s flying bridge (14 m above sea level) as high off the water as possible to minimize contamination. As soon as a rain event had ended the samples were collected. Approximately half the sample was filtered (0.45 µm GN-6 Metricel filters; cellulose esters) using a polysulfone vacuum filter assembly (Nalgene); the other half remained unfiltered. Both filtered and unfiltered samples were acidified to 0.024 M with ultra-high purity HCl, decanted into polypropylene bottles and double-bagged for storage. Before acidification, an aliquot was taken from the unfiltered sample and frozen for storage and determination of major seawater anions by ion chromatography (Dionex 4500i) in the home laboratory. For determinations of trace metals, rainwater samples were analysed by ICP-MS (Agilent 7500CS and Thermo Element 2) at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University (FSU). All sample handling was performed under a Class 100 laminar flow hood.

Trace metal concentrations in the reagent blank (0.024 M HCl) were subtracted from all rainwater samples. Filtration blanks were prepared by passing 100 mL of deionized water through GN-6 filters positioned in the filter assembly and subtracted from filtered rainwater samples. Filter blanks averaged 0.034 ± 0.01 µg/L dissolved Fe (representing an average of 1.2% of the Fe sample concentrations). Relative standard deviations of replicate analyses averaged 10% for Fe in rainwater.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Concentrations below the detection limit are represented as 'below_DL' (originally "<_DL"). See the Supplemental Files section for Detection Limits.

Quality flag definitions:
BDL = below detection limit (detection limit = 3 standard deviations of the blank).
0 = No QC performed.
1 = Good data.
2 = Probably good data.
3 = Probably bad data that is potentially correctable.
4 = Bad data.
5 = Value changed.
6 = Sample < blank.
7 = Outlier (unexplained data point or sample).
8 = Interpolated value.
9 = Missing value.
F = Filtered sample.

BCO-DMO made the following modifications:
- Replaced blanks with 'nd'.
- Replaced ' < DL' with 'below_DL'.
- Changed PI-supplied cruise IDs of KN204-4 and KN204-5 to KN204-01A and KN204-01B. Added 'cruise_part' column to distingush between parts A and B of cruise KN204-01.
- Copied averages and variances from the 3rd sub_sample to the all 3 sub_sample rows (where applicable).

Additional GEOTRACES Processing:
After the data were submitted to the International Data Management Office, BODC, the office noticed that important identifying information was missing in many datasets. With the agreement of BODC and the US GEOTRACES lead PIs, BCO-DMO added standard US GEOTRACES information, such as the US GEOTRACES event number, to each submitted dataset lacking this information. To accomplish this, BCO-DMO compiled a 'master' dataset composed of the following parameters: station_GEOTRC, cast_GEOTRC (bottle and pump data only), event_GEOTRC, sample_GEOTRC, sample_bottle_GEOTRC (bottle data only), bottle_GEOTRC (bottle data only), depth_GEOTRC_CTD (bottle data only), depth_GEOTRC_CTD_rounded (bottle data only), BTL_ISO_DateTime_UTC (bottle data only), and GeoFish_id (GeoFish data only). This added information will facilitate subsequent analysis and inter comparison of the datasets.

Bottle parameters in the master file were taken from the GT-C_Bottle_GT10, GT-C_Bottle_GT11, ODF_Bottle_GT10, and ODF_Bottle_GT11 datasets. Non-bottle parameters, including those from GeoFish tows, Aerosol sampling, and McLane Pumps, were taken from the Event_Log_GT10 and Event_Log_GT11 datasets. McLane pump cast numbers missing in event logs were taken from the Particulate Th-234 dataset submitted by Ken Buesseler.

A standardized BCO-DMO method (called "join") was then used to merge the missing parameters to each US GEOTRACES dataset, most often by matching on sample_GEOTRC or on some unique combination of other parameters.

If the master parameters were included in the original data file and the values did not differ from the master file, the original data columns were retained and the names of the parameters were changed from the PI-submitted names to the standardized master names. If there were differences between the PI-supplied parameter values and those in the master file, both columns were retained. If the original data submission included all of the master parameters, no additional columns were added, but parameter names were modified to match the naming conventions of the master file.

See the dataset parameters documentation for a description of which parameters were supplied by the PI and which were added via the join method.

Instruments

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer

Supplied Description:

For determinations of trace metals, rainwater samples were analysed by ICP-MS (Agilent 7500CS and Thermo Element 2) at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University (FSU).

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer

Acronym: ICP Mass Spec

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB15/

Generic Description:

An ICP Mass Spec is an instrument that passes nebulized samples into an inductively-coupled gas plasma (8-10000 K) where they are atomized and ionized. Ions of specific mass-to-charge ratios are quantified in a quadrupole mass spectrometer.

Ion Chromatograph

Supplied Description:

Major anions were determined by ion chromatography (Dionex 4500i).

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Ion Chromatograph

Generic Description:

Ion chromatography is a form of liquid chromatography that measures concentrations of ionic species by separating them based on their interaction with a resin. Ionic species separate differently depending on species type and size. Ion chromatographs are able to measure concentrations of major anions, such as fluoride, chloride, nitrate, nitrite, and sulfate, as well as major cations such as lithium, sodium, ammonium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in the parts-per-billion (ppb) range.
