For more detail on this data set, see: Lee,  C; Wakeham,S.G.; Hedges, J.I., 2000.  
Composition and flux of particulate amino acids and chloropigments in equatorial Pacific 
seawater and sediments.  Deep-Sea Research, I, 47 ( 8), 1535-1568.

Deep sediment traps were also deployed between January 1992, and January 1993, on 
moorings (Honjo et al., 1995) at 9&amp;amp;deg;N, 5&amp;amp;deg;N and 0&amp;amp;deg;. Both IRS-valved traps and valveless 
(NVC  no-valve control) traps collected samples from about 1000 m below the sea 
surface, while NVC traps collected samples from ~1000 m above the sea floor (mab). 
Traps were poisoned with mercuric chloride, and retention of poison was verified by 
salinity measurements. Particulate material collected was split and filtered as for free-
drifting traps

Sediment cores were collected during November-December, 1992, from seven stations 
along the N-S transect using a multiple corer (Barnett et al., 1984).  These stations were 
at 9, 5, 2&amp;amp;deg;N, the equator, and 2, 5 and 12&amp;amp;deg;S.  Cores were sectioned aboard ship; similar 
sediment depth intervals from several cores taken simultaneously were composited and 
homogenized.  

Particulate amino acids were measured by fluorescence high performance liquid 
chromatography (HPLC) after acid hydrolysis (Lee and Cronin, 1982; 1984). Thawed 
filters and sediments were hydrolyzed under N2 at 110degC for 19 h with 6 N HCl to 
release THAA, total hydrolyzable amino acids in peptide bonds (proteins and peptides) or 
adsorbed onto particles. Hydrolyzates were dried in vacuo, taken up in water, and the 
resulting free amino acids were analyzed by HPLC using a modification of the Mopper 
and Lindroth (1982) o-phthaldialdehyde derivative technique. Only one sample was 
usually available from each site and depth for hydrolysis because of the splitting scheme. 
Duplicate analyses of the same hydrolyzate agreed within 10-15% except for lysine 
(~40%).

We report here results only for chlorophyll-a and some of its immediate degradation 
products. Chloropigments were extracted from thawed filters into 100% acetone and 
analyzed by HPLC with fluorescence detection (Mantoura and Llewellyn, 1983; Bidigare 
et al., 1985). Samples were covered with Al foil as much as possible during handling and 
analysis to exclude light. Details of our analytical methods appear in Sun and Sun. Here 
we report data on chlorophyll-a (Chl), pheophytin-a (Phytin), pheophorbide-a (Phide) and 
pyropheophorbide-a (Pyrophide) fluxes and composition. Monovinyl and divinyl 
chlorophylls (Bidigare and Ondrusek, 1997) were not separated. Only one sample was 
usually available from each site and depth for extraction because of the splitting scheme. 
Duplicate analyses of the same extract agreed within 10%.

                            <gco:CharacterString>The United States Joint Global Ocean Flux Study was a national component of international JGOFS and an integral part of global climate change research.
The U.S. launched the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) in the late 1980s to study the ocean carbon cycle. An ambitious goal was set to understand the controls on the concentrations and fluxes of carbon and associated nutrients in the ocean. A new field of ocean biogeochemistry emerged with an emphasis on quality measurements of carbon system parameters and interdisciplinary field studies of the biological, chemical and physical process which control the ocean carbon cycle. As we studied ocean biogeochemistry, we learned that our simple views of carbon uptake and transport were severely limited, and a new &quot;wave&quot; of ocean science was born. U.S. JGOFS has been supported primarily by the U.S. National Science Foundation in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Department of Energy and the Office of Naval Research. U.S. JGOFS, ended in 2005 with the conclusion of the Synthesis and Modeling Project (SMP).</gco:CharacterString>

                            <gco:CharacterString>&lt;p&gt;The U.S. EqPac process study consisted of repeat meridional sections (12°N -12°S) across the equator in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific from 95°W to 170°W during 1992. The major scientific program was focused at 140° W consisting of two meridional surveys, two equatorial surveys, and a benthic survey aboard the R/V Thomas Thompson. Long-term deployments of current meter and sediment trap arrays augmented the survey cruises. NOAA conducted boreal spring and fall sections east and west of 140°W from the R/V Baldridge and R/V Discoverer. Meteorological and sea surface observations were obtained from NOAA's in place TOGA-TAO buoy network.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The scientific objectives of this study were to determine the fluxes of carbon and related elements, and the processes controlling these fluxes between the Equatorial Pacific euphotic zone and the atmosphere and deep ocean. A broad overview of the program at the 140°W site is given by Murray et al. (Oceanography, 5: 134-142, 1992). A full description of the Equatorial Pacific Process Study, including the international context and the scientific results, appears in a series of Deep-Sea Research Part II special volumes:&lt;/p&gt;

For more detail on this data set, see: Lee,  C; Wakeham,S.G.; Hedges, J.I., 2000.  
Composition and flux of particulate amino acids and chloropigments in equatorial Pacific 
seawater and sediments.  Deep-Sea Research, I, 47 ( 8), 1535-1568.

Deep sediment traps were also deployed between January 1992, and January 1993, on 
moorings (Honjo et al., 1995) at 9&amp;amp;deg;N, 5&amp;amp;deg;N and 0&amp;amp;deg;. Both IRS-valved traps and valveless 
(NVC  no-valve control) traps collected samples from about 1000 m below the sea 
surface, while NVC traps collected samples from ~1000 m above the sea floor (mab). 
Traps were poisoned with mercuric chloride, and retention of poison was verified by 
salinity measurements. Particulate material collected was split and filtered as for free-
drifting traps

Sediment cores were collected during November-December, 1992, from seven stations 
along the N-S transect using a multiple corer (Barnett et al., 1984).  These stations were 
at 9, 5, 2&amp;amp;deg;N, the equator, and 2, 5 and 12&amp;amp;deg;S.  Cores were sectioned aboard ship; similar 
sediment depth intervals from several cores taken simultaneously were composited and 
homogenized.  

Particulate amino acids were measured by fluorescence high performance liquid 
chromatography (HPLC) after acid hydrolysis (Lee and Cronin, 1982; 1984). Thawed 
filters and sediments were hydrolyzed under N2 at 110degC for 19 h with 6 N HCl to 
release THAA, total hydrolyzable amino acids in peptide bonds (proteins and peptides) or 
adsorbed onto particles. Hydrolyzates were dried in vacuo, taken up in water, and the 
resulting free amino acids were analyzed by HPLC using a modification of the Mopper 
and Lindroth (1982) o-phthaldialdehyde derivative technique. Only one sample was 
usually available from each site and depth for hydrolysis because of the splitting scheme. 
Duplicate analyses of the same hydrolyzate agreed within 10-15% except for lysine 
(~40%).

We report here results only for chlorophyll-a and some of its immediate degradation 
products. Chloropigments were extracted from thawed filters into 100% acetone and 
analyzed by HPLC with fluorescence detection (Mantoura and Llewellyn, 1983; Bidigare 
et al., 1985). Samples were covered with Al foil as much as possible during handling and 
analysis to exclude light. Details of our analytical methods appear in Sun and Sun. Here 
we report data on chlorophyll-a (Chl), pheophytin-a (Phytin), pheophorbide-a (Phide) and 
pyropheophorbide-a (Pyrophide) fluxes and composition. Monovinyl and divinyl 
chlorophylls (Bidigare and Ondrusek, 1997) were not separated. Only one sample was 
usually available from each site and depth for extraction because of the splitting scheme. 
Duplicate analyses of the same extract agreed within 10%.

HPLC instruments consist of a reservoir of the mobile phase, a pump, an injector, a separation column, and a detector. Compounds are separated by high pressure pumping of the sample mixture onto a column packed with microspheres coated with the stationary phase. The different components in the mixture pass through the column at different rates due to differences in their partitioning behavior between the mobile liquid phase and the stationary phase.

            <gco:CharacterString>PI Supplied Instrument Name: IRS Sediment Trap Instrument Name: Sediment Trap - IRS Instrument Short Name:Sed Trap - IRS   Instrument Description: Sediment traps are specially designed containers deployed in the water column for periods of time to collect particles from the water column falling toward the sea floor. In general a sediment trap has a jar at the bottom to collect the sample and a broad funnel-shaped opening at the top with baffles to keep out very large objects and help prevent the funnel from clogging.  The Indented Rotating Sphere (IRS) Sediment Trap is described in Peterson et al. (Field evaluation of a valved sediment trap. 1993. Limnology and Oceanography, 38, pp. 1741-1761 and Novel techniques for collection of sinking particles in the ocean and determining their settling rates. 2005. Limnology and Oceanography Methods 3, pp. 520-532). The IRS trap consists of four cylindrical modules; a particle interceptor, an IRS valve; a skewed funnel, and an eleven sample carousel (designated IRSC trap).  The key to the trap design is the patented IRS valve located between the particle interceptor and particle accumulator portions of the trap. The valve and carousel are regulated by a TattleTale IVA (manufactured by Onset Computer Corp.) microprocessor and custom software.  The IRS sediment trap was specifically designed to exclude zooplankton (Trull et al. 2008. Deep-Sea Research II v.55 pp. 1684-1695).
