Description

SOIREE Sediment Traps - 13C DIC

Methods & Sampling

See SOIREE Preliminary Voyage Report

Method notes:
1. All extractions done on 250ml with SOMMA automated acid addition device.
Evolved gas carried in N2 stream to cold trap, and then purified cryogenically from water
DIC yields measured manometrically, 13C-DIC run at 5V by dual-inlet Finnagin Delta-S
MS vs. working standard calibrated against NBS19 calcite.

2. Salinities from CTD - average of 2 meter bin about bottle depth - used for density
calculation for DIC concentrations.

13CO2=13DIC+23.644-(9701.5/Tkelvin)

Difference Bakker-Trull (umol/kg)/Average: -3.7
Difference Bakker-Trull (umol/kg)/SD: 5.24

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird 911

Supplied Name: CTD Seabird 911

Supplied Description:

NIWA's Seabird 911plus CTD and related instrumentation

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird 911

Acronym: CTD SBE 911

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0035/

Generic Description:

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

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sediment Trap

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/33/

Generic 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. This designation is used when the specific type of sediment trap was not specified by the contributing investigator.
