Description

Dissolved Pb concentration data from the US GEOTRACES Arctic Expedition (GN01, HLY1502).

Acquisition Description

Samples were collected according to Cutter and Bruland 2012, utilizing a trace metal clean rosette (GT-C rosette). Samples above 20 m were pumped from a hole drilled in the ice far away from the ship or from a small boat, using clean sampling techniques. Dissolved Pb analyses were performed using techniques described in Lagerstrom et al. (2013). Samples were acidified to pH 1.8 and left for 2 months prior to analysis. Intercalibration results were submitted to and approved by the GEOTRACES S & I committee (see Supplmental Documents).

Processing Description

WOCE Quality Flags:
2 – Ok,
3 – Questionable,
4 – Bad Analysis,
5 – Sample lost,
6 – Mean of replicates,
9 – Sample was not collected for Pb analysis.

Instruments

GO-FLO Teflon Trace Metal Bottle

(more info)

Short Name: GO-FLO Teflon TM

Community Standard Description

Generic Description

GO-FLO Teflon-lined Trace Metal free sampling bottles are used for collecting water samples for trace metal, nutrient and pigment analysis. The GO-FLO sampling bottle is designed specifically to avoid sample contamination at the surface, internal spring contamination, loss of sample on deck (internal seals), and exchange of water from different depths.

PI supplied instrument name: trace metal clean rosette (GT-C rosette)

Dataset-specific description

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer

(more info)

Short Name: ICP Mass Spec

Community Standard Description

Generic Description

An ICP Mass Spec is an instrument that passes nebulized samples into an inductively-coupled gas plasma (8-10000 K) where they are atomized and ionized. Ions of specific mass-to-charge ratios are quantified in a quadrupole mass spectrometer.

PI supplied instrument name: ThermoFinnigan Element 2 Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer coupled (ICP-MS)

Dataset-specific description

Dissolved Pb was measured at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks using an ThermoFinnigan Element 2 Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer coupled (ICP-MS) to an Elemental Scientific SeaFAST S2 (syringe based system).
