U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study
http://usjgofs.whoi.edu/
U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study
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 "wave" 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).

U.S. JGOFS Equatorial Pacific
http://usjgofs.whoi.edu/research/eqpac.html
U.S. JGOFS Equatorial Pacific
<p>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.</p>
<p>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:</p>

Samples from the upper 200 m were collected during hydrocases with a trace-metal-free rosette (Moss Landing).<br>
Samples for estimation of bacterial abundance and biovolume (20--100 ml, depending on depth) were preserved with particle-free 1.0 % glutaraldehyde then filtered within 24 h onto black Poretics polycarbonate filters (0.2 �m pore size), stained with acridine orange (Hobbie et al., 1977) and mounted in Cargille Type A immersion oil on slides and stored frozen until examination. Samples for microscopy were not replicated. All samples were enumerated using a Zeiss Axiophot microscope (final magnification 1613 x). Biovolume was estimated using the 386-based Zeiss VIDAS VIDEOPLAN Image Analysis system which acquired images from a Dage-MTI Nuvicon video camera connected to the Axiophot microscope through a Dage gen-II image intensifier. In our configuration this imaging system projects 0.2 �m spheres onto an area of approximately 17 pixels. We measure length and width (D and D), perimeter and area of approximately 300 cells in each sample. The measurements are calibrated by measuring fluorescent spheres of various sizes (Polysciences Corp.).

Comments on Bacterial Data from TT007, First EqPac Survey Cruise
The data on bacterial abundance can be used to calculate
bacterial biomass (the common assumption is 20 fg C/cell) and the
incorporation rates of thymidine (TdR) and leucine (Leu) can be
used to calculate bacterial production. Any one using these
data are encouraged to contact D.Kirchman (U.Delaware) for an
update on proper factors for converting incorporation rates into
bacterial production.
The depths indicate in this data set are those original
targeted for the particular casts. That is, none of them have
been changed to reflect current guesses of where the samples were
actually taken. Also, we noted some samples that were clearly
anomalous, but again we did not delete or change these. Some of
these anomalous values may be due to problems with the CTD
bottles, but others are clearly not.

<p><strong>Thymidine and Leucine Incorporation</strong></p>
<p>Samples from the upper 200 m were collected during hydrocases with a trace-metal-free rosette (Moss Landing) and processed immediately following collection. Short-term incorporation assays followed procedures described in Ducklow <em> et al.</em> (1992a). Duplicate 30 ml samples were amended with methyl-<img src="https://datadocs.bco-dmo.org/static/usjgofs.whoi.edu/smallgifs/tiny_3.gif" />H-thymidine (New England Nuclear, sp. act. >75 Ci mmol<img src="https://datadocs.bco-dmo.org/static/usjgofs.whoi.edu/smallgifs/tiny-1.gif" />; 10 nM final concl.) and incubated at or near <em> in situ</em> water temperatures in screwtop polycarbonate centrifuge tubes in chilled water bath incubators. Following incubation periods of ca. 1--3 h, the incubation was terminated with the addition of 0.5 % formalin. To measure nonspecific incorporation, these samples were filtered onto Sartorius cellulose nitrate membranes (0.22 µm pore size, extracted by rinsing the filters over a vacuum three times with ice-cold 5 % trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and three times with 80 % ethanol, as suggested in Wicks and Robarts (1988). To measure incorporation into DNA only, separate parallel samples were extracted in 0.25 n NaOH (final conc.) and chilled on ice. These samples were stored on ice for up to 48 hours, then neutralized with ice-cold 100 % TCA (final conc. 20 %), and filtered onto 22 mm dia. 0.2 µm cellulose nitrate membrane filters. Finally the samples wre extracted on the filter holders by rinsing three times each with 50 % chloroform-phenol (a 1:1 c/c mixture of liquified phenol and chloroform) and with 80 % ethanol to purify the labelled DNA (Wicks and Robarts, 1987). Zero-time controls were subtracted to correct for adsorption and other abiotic effects. The cellulose nitrate filters were packed tightly into 7 ml glass scintillation vials and dissolved in 1.0 ml of ethyl acetate, prior to addition of Ultima Gold biodegradeable scintillation cocktail (Packard). Samples were counted aboard ship on the T.G. Thompson scintillation counter.</p>
<p><img src="https://datadocs.bco-dmo.org/static/usjgofs.whoi.edu/smallgifs/tiny_3.gif" />H-leucine incorporation was estimated in parallel incubations of samples inoculated with 0.5 nM <img src="https://datadocs.bco-dmo.org/static/usjgofs.whoi.edu/smallgifs/tiny_3.gif" />H-leuchine (New England Nuclear, sp. act. 153 Ci mmol<img src="https://datadocs.bco-dmo.org/static/usjgofs.whoi.edu/smallgifs/tiny-1.gif" /> ) and 10 nM unlabeled leucine (Kirchman <em>et al.</em>, 1985), for a final leucine concentration (hot plus cold) of 10.5 nM 30 ml leucine samples were filtered onto replicate 22 mm dia. 0.22 µm cellulose nitrate filters and extracted with ice cold 5 % TCA and ethanol as described above.</p>
<p><strong>Bacterial Abundance and Biomass</strong></p>
<p>Samples for estimation of bacterial abundance and biovolume (20--100 ml, depending on depth) were preserved with particle-free 1.0 % glutaraldehyde then filtered within 24 h onto black Poretics polycarbonate filters (0.2 µm pore size), stained with acridine orange (Hobbie <em> et al.</em>, 1977) and mounted in Cargille Type A immersion oil on slides and stored frozen until examination.

The measurements are calibrated by measuring fluorescent spheres of various sizes (Polysciences Corp.). Biovolumes (V) are calculated using an algorithm (Baldwin and Bankston, 1988) which derives linear dimensions from the image analyzer's estimates of cellular perimeter, (C) and area, (A):</p>
