Total organic carbon (TOC) measurements from CTD bottle samples collected during the R/V Kilo Moana cruise KM1427 in the North Pacific Ocean in December of 2014

Abstract:

Bottle samples were collected during 0-4500 meter depth CTD deployments during the R/V Kilo Moana cruise KM1427 in the North Pacific Ocean in December of 2014. Total organic carbon (TOC) measurements were made using the bottle samples.

Methods & Sampling

Water samples were collected using a CTD rosette with Niskin bottles and immediately transferred into acid rinsed carboys (20 L). Samples were then filtered through a 0.2 mm maxi capsule filter (Pall Corporation) prior to the acquisition of measurements.

Total organic carbon measurements were acquired using a Shimadzu TOC- 5000A analyzer. The pH sensor was set to output the average and standard deviation of several injections, the number of which is determined by the CV set to be less than 3%.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Supplied Name: SBE 911plus / 917plus CTD

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Acronym: CTD SBE 911plus

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0058/

Generic Description:

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

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Niskin bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0412/

Generic Description:

A Niskin bottle (a next generation water sampler based on the Nansen bottle) is a cylindrical, non-metallic water collection device with stoppers at both ends. The bottles can be attached individually on a hydrowire or deployed in 12, 24, or 36 bottle Rosette systems mounted on a frame and combined with a CTD. Niskin bottles are used to collect discrete water samples for a range of measurements including pigments, nutrients, plankton, etc.

Shimadzu TOC-L Analyzer

Supplied Name: Shimadzu TOC- 5000A analyzer

Supplied Description:

The instrument was set up to print the average and SD of several injections, the number of which is determined by the CV set to be less than 3%.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Shimadzu TOC-L Analyzer

Acronym: Shimadzu TOC-L

Community Identifier: http://onto.nerc.ac.uk/CAST/124.html

Generic Description:

A Shimadzu TOC-L Analyzer measures DOC by high temperature combustion method.

Developed by Shimadzu, the 680 degree C combustion catalytic oxidation method is now used worldwide. One of its most important features is the capacity to efficiently oxidize hard-to-decompose organic compounds, including insoluble and macromolecular organic compounds. The 680 degree C combustion catalytic oxidation method has been adopted for the TOC-L series.
