Acquisition Description

The samples were taken using a 24-bottle CTD rosette with 12L bottles. Depths varied per station but were focused in the upper 1000m. 19 stations were sampled with 22 casts total.

Samples were drawn in order: pH, alkalinity, NH4, nutrients (NOx, PO4, NO2). pH, NH4, PO4, NO2 were measured within 3 hours of collection onboard. NOx were filtered (0.22um Sterivex) and frozen. NOx is generally a mean of 3 measurements. Alkalinity were poisoned with a saturated HgCl2 solution and preserved in 160mL crimped serum bottles.

Processing Description

The samples were analysed using the following instruments:

NO2, PO4: Ocean Optics QEPRO spectrophotometer with 10cm Starna flow through quartz cell
NOx: Teledyne T200 NOx analyzer with custom front end for vanadium reduction
pH: Agilent 8454 spectrophotometer with custom front end for automated syringe injection
Alkalinity: Custom total alkalinity titrator built by the lab of Andrew Dickson, UCSD-Scripps

BCO-DMO processing notes:

Added ISO_DateTime_UTC column
Added cruise id

Instruments

Automatic titrator

Supplied Name: Custom total alkalinity titrator

Supplied Description:

Custom total alkalinity titrator built by the lab of Andrew Dickson, UCSD-Scripps

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Automatic titrator

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB12/

Generic Description:

Instruments that incrementally add quantified aliquots of a reagent to a sample until the end-point of a chemical reaction is reached.

Chemiluminescence NOx Analyzer

Supplied Name: Teledyne T200 NOx analyzer

Supplied Description:

NOx: Teledyne T200 NOx analyzer with custom front end for vanadium reduction.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Chemiluminescence NOx Analyzer

Generic Description:

The chemiluminescence method for gas analysis of oxides of nitrogen relies on the measurement of light produced by the gas-phase titration of nitric oxide and ozone. A chemiluminescence analyzer can measure the concentration of NO/NO2/NOX.

One example is the Teledyne Model T200: http://www.teledyne-api.com/products/T200.asp
