                            <gco:CharacterString>GEOTRACES is a SCOR sponsored program; and funding for program infrastructure development is provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
GEOTRACES gained momentum following a special symposium, S02: Biogeochemical cycling of trace elements and isotopes in the ocean and applications to constrain contemporary marine processes (GEOSECS II), at a 2003 Goldschmidt meeting convened in Japan. The GEOSECS II acronym referred to the Geochemical Ocean Section Studies To determine full water column distributions of selected trace elements and isotopes, including their concentration, chemical speciation, and physical form, along a sufficient number of sections in each ocean basin to establish the principal relationships between these distributions and with more traditional hydrographic parameters;
* To evaluate the sources, sinks, and internal cycling of these species and thereby characterize more completely the physical, chemical and biological processes regulating their distributions, and the sensitivity of these processes to global change; and
* To understand the processes that control the concentrations of geochemical species used for proxies of the past environment, both in the water column and in the substrates that reflect the water column.

GEOTRACES will be global in scope, consisting of ocean sections complemented by regional process studies. Sections and process studies will combine fieldwork, laboratory experiments and modelling. Beyond realizing the scientific objectives identified above, a natural outcome of this work will be to build a community of marine scientists who understand the processes regulating trace element cycles sufficiently well to exploit this knowledge reliably in future interdisciplinary studies.

                            <gco:CharacterString>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Much of this text appeared in an article published in OCB News, October 2008, by the OCB Project Office.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first U.S. GEOTRACES Atlantic Section will be specifically centered around a sampling cruise to be carried out in the North Atlantic in 2010. Ed Boyle (MIT) and Bill Jenkins (WHOI) organized a three-day planning workshop that was held September 22-24, 2008 at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The main goal of the workshop, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. GEOTRACES Scientific Steering Committee, was to design the implementation plan for the first U.S. GEOTRACES Atlantic Section. The primary cruise design motivation was to improve knowledge of the sources, sinks and internal cycling of Trace Elements and their Isotopes (TEIs) by studying their distributions along a section in the North Atlantic (Figure 1). The North Atlantic has the full suite of processes that affect TEIs, including strong meridional advection, boundary scavenging and source effects, aeolian deposition, and the salty Mediterranean Outflow. The North Atlantic is particularly important as it lies at the &quot;origin&quot; of the global Meridional Overturning Circulation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is well understood that many trace metals play important roles in biogeochemical processes and the carbon cycle, yet very little is known about their large-scale distributions and the regional scale processes that affect them. Recent advances in sampling and analytical techniques, along with advances in our understanding of their roles in enzymatic and catalytic processes in the open ocean provide a natural opportunity to make substantial advances in our understanding of these important elements. Moreover, we are motivated by the prospect of global change and the need to understand the present and future workings of the ocean's biogeochemistry. The GEOTRACES strategy is to measure a broad suite of TEIs to constrain the critical biogeochemical processes that influence their distributions. In addition to these &quot;exotic&quot; substances, more traditional properties, including macronutrients (at micromolar and nanomolar levels), CTD, bio-optical parameters, and carbon system characteristics will be measured. The cruise starts at Line W, a repeat hydrographic section southeast of Cape Cod, extends to Bermuda and subsequently through the North Atlantic oligotrophic subtropical gyre, then transects into the African coast in the northern limb of the coastal upwelling region. From there, the cruise goes northward into the Mediterranean outflow. The station locations shown on the map are for the &quot;fulldepth TEI&quot; stations, and constitute approximately half of the stations to be ultimately occupied.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Figure 1. The proposed 2010 Atlantic GEOTRACES cruise track plotted on dissolved oxygen at 400 m depth. Data from the World Ocean Atlas (Levitus et al., 2005) were plotted using Ocean Data View (courtesy Reiner Schlitzer). [click on the image to view a larger version]&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hydrography, CTD and nutrient measurements will be supported by the Ocean Data Facility (J. Swift) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and funded through NSF Facilities. They will be providing an additional CTD rosette system along with nephelometer and LADCP. A trace metal clean Go-Flo Rosette and winch will be provided by the group at Old Dominion University (G. Cutter) along with a towed underway pumping system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The North Atlantic Transect cruise began in 2010 with KN199 leg 4 (station sampling) and leg 5 (underway sampling only) (Figure 2).&lt;/p&gt;

The measured 143Nd/144Nd isotope ratios were normalized to those of the JNdi-1 Nd standard (0.512115, Tanaka et al., 2000). Please see attached methodology files for further information on the data processing.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;BCO-DMO Processing Notes:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
- Added the sample_GEOTRC column by copying the original sample column and removing the '_2' from sample duplicates.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
- Added Cast_ISO_DateTime_UTC from the original date and time fields.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;SUMMARY OF CORRECTIONS MADE TO SUBMITTED DATA:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;2017-07-17: parameter descriptions revised as per request by R. Anderson: ND_143_ND_144RATIO and int_ND_143_ND_144RATIO.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;version 8: The data for version 8 (April 2016) completely replaced those from version 7.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
- The quality flag scheme was changed in accordance with ODV.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
- New parameters: EPSILON_Nd, EPSILON_ND_FLAG_W, EPSILON_ND_2SD, Instrument, and Reference were added which are described in the documentation.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
- Column cruise_part was removed.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
- Version 8b: changed quality flags for KN204-01, stations 3 and 8 from 0 to 2&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;- 07 March 2013: Made the following corrections after consulting with dataset scientist:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;KN199-04&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
-- Changed cast number of event 3176 from 2 to 8.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
-- Changed cast number of event 3169 from 8 to 2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
-- Changed event number of KN199-04 station 3 cast 6 from 2059 to 2061.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
-- Changed event number of KN199-04 station 7 cast 6 from 2107 to 2132.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
-- Changed event number of KN199-04 station 9 cast 3 from 2059 to 2165.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
-- Changed event number of KN199-04 station 10 cast 6 from 2191 to 2194.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
-- Changed event number of KN199-04 station 11 cast 6 from 2206 to 2208.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
-- Changed bottle number of sample #5393 from 5 to 4 (station 5, cast 6).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
-- Changed bottle number of sample #5394 from 4 to 3 (station 5, cast 6).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
-- Changed time of event #2024 from 2129 to 1202.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
KN204-01&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
-- Changed bottle number of sample #7955 from 8 to 9 (station 22, cast 4).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Additional data and revisions were served 19 Sept. 2013.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;version 9: The last version (8b) of the dataset was split into three datasets by LAB. LDEO, UH, and USC.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
See USC dataset: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/3832&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp;LDEO dataset:&amp;amp;nbsp;https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/780582&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Additional GEOTRACES Processing:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
After the data were submitted to the International Data Management Office, BODC, the office noticed that important identifying information was missing in many datasets. With the agreement of BODC and the US GEOTRACES lead PIs, BCO-DMO added standard US GEOTRACES information, such as the US GEOTRACES event number, to each submitted dataset lacking this information. To accomplish this, BCO-DMO compiled a 'master' dataset composed of the following parameters: station_GEOTRC, cast_GEOTRC (bottle and pump data only), event_GEOTRC, sample_GEOTRC, sample_bottle_GEOTRC (bottle data only), bottle_GEOTRC (bottle data only), depth_GEOTRC_CTD (bottle data only), depth_GEOTRC_CTD_rounded (bottle data only), BTL_ISO_DateTime_UTC (bottle data only), and GeoFish_id (GeoFish data only). This added information will facilitate subsequent analysis and inter comparison of the datasets.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Bottle parameters in the master file were taken from the GT-C_Bottle_GT10, GT-C_Bottle_GT11, ODF_Bottle_GT10, and ODF_Bottle_GT11 datasets. Non-bottle parameters, including those from GeoFish tows, Aerosol sampling, and McLane Pumps, were taken from the Event_Log_GT10 and Event_Log_GT11 datasets. McLane pump cast numbers missing in event logs were taken from the Particulate Th-234 dataset submitted by Ken Buesseler.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
A standardized BCO-DMO method (called &amp;quot;join&amp;quot;) was then used to merge the missing parameters to each US GEOTRACES dataset, most often by matching on sample_GEOTRC or on some unique combination of other parameters.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
If the master parameters were included in the original data file and the values did not differ from the master file, the original data columns were retained and the names of the parameters were changed from the PI-submitted names to the standardized master names. If there were differences between the PI-supplied parameter values and those in the master file, both columns were retained. If the original data submission included all of the master parameters, no additional columns were added, but parameter names were modified to match the naming conventions of the master file.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
See the dataset parameters documentation for a description of which parameters were supplied by the PI and which were added via the join method.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

            <gco:CharacterString>PI Supplied Instrument Name: GeoFish Instrument Name: GeoFish Towed near-Surface Sampler Instrument Short Name:GeoFish   Instrument Description: The GeoFish towed sampler is a custom designed near surface (2 meters or less) sampling system for the collection of trace metal clean seawater. It consists of a PVC encapsulated lead weighted torpedo and separate PVC depressor vane supporting the intake utilizing all PFA Teflon tubing connected to a deck mounted, air-driven, PFA Teflon dual-diaphragm pump which provides trace-metal clean seawater at up to 3.7L/min. The GeoFish is towed at up to 13kts off to the side of the vessel outside of the ship's wake to avoid possible contamination from the ship's hull. It was developed by Geoffrey Smith and Ken Bruland (University of California, Santa Cruz). Community Standard Description: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/31/</gco:CharacterString>
