<p>Particle sinking rates were determined using the 4 liter measurement of 234Th (Pike et al., 2005). Samples were collected from hydrocasts from a shipboard CTD. The unfiltered 4-liter samples were immediately acidified to pH ~1.5 using concentrated Nitric acid. Samples were shaken vigorously and 230Th added as a yield monitor.

Extraction of thorium from seawater was then accomplished by co-precipitation via a MnO2 precipitate onto a 25-mm-diameter QMA filter. The filtered samples were air dried and counted on a RISO beta detector (Rutgers van der Loeff et al., 2006). All samples were counted for at least 24 hours or until the counting error was &lt; 3%. Samples were recounted after &gt;150 days (~6 half lives) to determine the sample background. Detector calibration was confirmed with 3000m deep water sample.<br />
<br />
Particulate carbon was collected through a McLane WTS-LV in-situ pump and filtered through a 142mm GFF filter. 22mm subsamples were collected, dried and transported back to the WHOI laboratory for CHN analysis on the Flash EA1112. The samples were pelletized in ultra clean tin capsules, combusted at 900oC, separated in a gas chromatographic column, and measured through a thermal conductivity detector. The CHN analyzer was calibrated by using an acetanilide standard. A second subsample was taken and analyzed for biogenic silica (Brzezinski et al 2001). Sodium Hydroxide was added to the filter and heated to 95oC for 45minutes. It was placed on ice and neutralized with hydrochloric acid. After centrifuging, the supernatant is then analyzed for silicate on a Lachat Quickchem 8000.<br />

Plankton Community Structure and Iron Distribution in the Southern Drake Passage and Scotia Sea
https://www.bco-dmo.org/project/2069
Plankton Community Structure and Iron Distribution in the Southern Drake Passage and Scotia Sea
<p><strong>Collaborative Research: Plankton Community Structure and Iron Distribution in the<br />
Southern Drake Passage and Scotia Sea</strong></p>
<p>The Shackleton Fracture Zone (SFZ) in Drake Passage of the Southern Ocean defines a<br />
boundary between low and high phytoplankton waters. Low chlorophyll water flowing<br />
through the southern Drake Passage emerges as high chlorophyll water to the east,<br />
and recent evidence indicates that the Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current Front<br />
(SACCF) is steered south of the SFZ onto the Antarctic Peninsula shelf where mixing<br />
between the water types occurs. The mixed water is then advected off-shelf with<br />
elevatediron and phytoplankton biomass.</p>
<p>The SFZ is therefore an ideal natural laboratory to improve the understanding of<br />
plankton community responses to natural iron fertilization, and how these processes<br />
influence export of organic carbon to the ocean interior. The bathymetry of the region<br />
is hypothesized to influence mesoscale circulation and transport of iron, leading to<br />
the observed patterns in phytoplankton biomass.</p>
<p>The position of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is further hypothesized to<br />
influence the magnitude of the flow of ACC water onto the peninsula shelf, mediating<br />
the amount of iron transported into the Scotia Sea. To address these hypotheses, a<br />
research cruise will be conducted near the SFZ and to the east in the southern Scotia<br />
Sea. A mesoscale station grid for vertical profiles, water sampling, and bottle incubation<br />
enrichment experiments will complement rapid surface surveys of chemical, plankton, and<br />
hydrographic properties. Distributions of manganese, aluminum and radium isotopes will<br />
be determined to trace iron sources and estimate mixing rates.</p>
<p>Phytoplankton and bacterial physiological states (including responses to iron enrichment)<br />
and the structure of the plankton communities will be studied. The primary goal is to<br />
better understand how plankton productivity, community structure and export production<br />
in the Southern Ocean are affected by the coupling between bathymetry, mesoscale circulation,<br />
and distributions of limiting nutrients. The proposed work represents an interdisciplinary<br />
approach to address the fundamental physical, chemical and biological processes that<br />
contribute to the abrupt transition in chl-a which occurs near the SFZ. Given recent<br />
indications that the Southern Ocean is warming, it is important to advance the understanding<br />
of conditions that regulate the present ecosystem structure in order to predict the effects<br />
of climate variability. This project will promote training and learning across a broad<br />
spectrum of groups. Funds are included to support postdocs, graduate students, and<br />
undergraduates. In addition, this project will contribute to the development of content<br />
for the Polar Science Station website, which has been a resource since 2001 for instructors<br />
and students in adult education, home schooling, tribal schools, corrections education,<br />
family literacy programs, and the general public.</p>

The samples were pelletized in ultra clean tin capsules, combusted at 900oC, separated in a gas chromatographic column, and measured through a thermal conductivity detector. The CHN analyzer was calibrated by using an acetanilide standard. A second subsample was taken and analyzed for biogenic silica (Brzezinski et al 2001). Sodium Hydroxide was added to the filter and heated to 95oC for 45minutes. It was placed on ice and neutralized with hydrochloric acid. After centrifuging, the supernatant is then analyzed for silicate on a Lachat Quickchem 8000.<br><br>

Conductivity, Temperature, Depth
Conductivity, Temperature, Depth
PI Supplied Instrument Name: Conductivity, Temperature, Depth PI Supplied Instrument Description:Shipboard CTD Instrument Name: CTD - profiler Instrument Short Name: Instrument Description: The Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) unit is an integrated instrument package designed to measure the conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth) of the water column. The instrument is lowered via cable through the water column. It permits scientists to observe the physical properties in real-time via a conducting cable, which is typically connected to a CTD to a deck unit and computer on a ship. The CTD is often configured with additional optional sensors including fluorometers, transmissometers and/or radiometers. It is often combined with a Rosette of water sampling bottles (e.g. Niskin, GO-FLO) for collecting discrete water samples during the cast.
This term applies to profiling CTDs. For fixed CTDs, see https://www.bco-dmo.org/instrument/869934. Community Standard Description: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/130/

Large Volume Pumping System -WTS-LV
PI Supplied Instrument Name: Large Volume Pumping System -WTS-LV PI Supplied Instrument Description:McLane WTS-LV Large Volume, High Accuracy, Oceanographic Sampling Pump Instrument Name: McLane Large Volume Pumping System WTS-LV Instrument Short Name:WTS-LV Instrument Description: The WTS-LV is a Water Transfer System (WTS) Large Volume (LV) pumping instrument designed and manufactured by McLane Research Labs (Falmouth, MA, USA). It is a large-volume, single-event sampler that collects suspended and dissolved particulate samples in situ.
Ambient water is drawn through a modular filter holder onto a 142-millimeter (mm) membrane without passing through the pump. The standard two-tier filter holder provides prefiltering and size fractioning. Collection targets include chlorophyll maximum, particulate trace metals, and phytoplankton. It features different flow rates and filter porosity to support a range of specimen collection. Sampling can be programmed to start at a scheduled time or begin with a countdown delay. It also features a dynamic pump speed algorithm that adjusts flow to protect the sample as material accumulates on the filter. Several pump options range from 0.5 to 30 liters per minute, with a max volume of 2,500 to 36,000 liters depending on the pump and battery pack used. The standard model is depth rated to 5,500 meters, with a deeper 7,000-meter option available. The operating temperature is -4 to 35 degrees Celsius.
The WTS-LV is available in four different configurations: Standard, Upright, Bore Hole, and Dual Filter Sampler. The high-capacity upright WTS-LV model provides three times the battery life of the standard model. The Bore-Hole WTS-LV is designed to fit through a narrow opening such as a 30-centimeter borehole. The dual filter WTS-LV features two vertical intake 142 mm filter holders to allow simultaneous filtering using two different porosities.

Pump5
PI Supplied Instrument Name: Pump5 PI Supplied Instrument Description:Ship's clean water intake pump (surface sample) Instrument Name: Pump - Surface Underway Ship Intake Instrument Short Name:Pump-Ship Intake Instrument Description: The 'Pump-underway ship intake' system indicates that samples are from the ship's clean water intake pump. This is essentially a surface water sample from a source of uncontaminated near-surface (commonly 3 to 7 m) seawater that can be pumped continuously to shipboard laboratories on research vessels. There is typically a temperature sensor near the intake (known as the hull temperature) to provide measurements that are as close as possible to the ambient water temperature. The flow from the supply is typically directed through continuously logged sensors such as a thermosalinograph and a fluorometer. Water samples are often collected from the underway supply that may also be referred to as the non-toxic supply. Ideally the data contributor has specified the depth in the ship's hull at which the pump is mounted. Community Standard Description: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/31/
