        <gco:CharacterString>Dataset Description: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Hydrographic, nutrient and carbonate system data was collected aboard the R/V Janan on two single day cruises in the Arabian Gulf.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; Methods and Sampling: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Sampling&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Water column sampling using rosette mounted 10-L PVC Niskin bottles was conducted on December 5, 2018 and May 18, 2019 in the Arabian Gulf on the R/V Janan (Figure 1). Surface water samples and hydrographic data were collected at seven stations (stations 1C, 2C, 3C, 4C, 5C, 6B, 6C) along a transect from the central east coast of Qatar across the Qatari Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Stations were chosen to be nearly&amp;amp;nbsp; perpendicular to the major axis of the Gulf to capture main regional hydrographic features across the EEZ. The transect provides a reasonable representation of hydrographic distributions across the wider part of the Gulf. Samples were collected in triplicate at each station. Vertical profiles with one surface sample, one bottom sample, and 1 to 3 mid-depth samples were collected at stations 2C, 4C, 6B, and 6C.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Samples for DIC and total alkalinity were collected in 300 mL Wheaton BOD glass bottles with ground glass stoppers. Samples were sealed immediately after collection to prevent loss of CO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;. Samples were poisoned with 50 µL HgCl&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; (0.05% by volume) to prevent biological&amp;amp;nbsp;activity, then covered with aluminum&amp;amp;nbsp; foil to eliminate light and biological growth.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Analysis&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
The best approach for understanding ocean acidification is to measure the primary capacity factors of the carbonate system chemistry which are dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TAlk). DIC and alkalinity are the best set of parameters use for calculating pH, pCO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;and carbonate ion, because they are conservative properties during water mass mixing.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
After collection, samples were shipped to the University of Washington for DIC and TAlk analyses in Dr. Alex Gagnon’s laboratory. Carbonate system measurements follow the methods of Dickson et al. (2007). Briefly, TAlk (μmol kg&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;) was determined through open-cell automated titration (876 Dosimat plus, Metrohm AG) with a solution of 0.1M hydrochloric acid (HCl)+0.6M sodium chloride (NaCl). Total DIC (μmol/kg) was obtained through coulometric determination (VINDTA 3D, Marianda with UIC coulometer). Certified reference materials for TAlk and DIC obtained from Andrew Dickson (Scripps Institution of Oceanography) were run in conjunction with seawater samples as a calibration standard and to monitor precision. Long-term precision for DIC and TAlk in this lab, based on repeated measurements of CRM materials, was ± 3.7 μmol kg&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;(2σ std. dev.) and ± 4.3 μmol kg&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;(2σ std. dev.), respectively (Bolden et al., 2019).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;pCO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;and pH were calculated from DIC and Alk using CO2Calc using the total pH scale with carbonate equilibrium constants refit from Mehrbach et al. (1973) by Dickson and Millero (1987); borate alkalinity was calculated using the boron/chlorinity (salinity) relationship provided by Lee et al. (2010) and equilibrium constants from Dickson (1990).&amp;amp;nbsp; Where necessary, NTAlk, and NDIC values used in subsequent calculations were salinity-normalized to a mean salinity value of 40.0. Data analysis was executed using Microsoft Excel. Certain data properties were calculated using CO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;Calc. This includes parameters such as pH, CO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2-&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;, and pCO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;During both cruises, samples were also collected and analyzed for: Hydrographic properties using a SeaBird Electronics, SBE 911 on a CTD SeaBird rosette (T, S, O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, pH, % Transmission and fluorescence). The pH sensor used in our project is the SBE 27 pH/O.R.P (Redox) Sensor.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Dissolved oxygen was measured using the SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen sensor. Additional discrete samples&amp;amp;nbsp;were analyzed for dissolved oxygen within a few hours of collection using the titrimetric method (Winkler, 1888). Nutrients (NO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, NO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, NH&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, PO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, and Si) and chlorophyll were analyzed on filtered samples using classical techniques (Parsons et al., 1984).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Suspended particulate matter for particulate Ca analyses was sampled using 47 mm filter holders and 0.45 µM mesh size Nuclepore filters. Filtration volumes of 2 L, provided sufficient samples for analyses.&amp;amp;nbsp; Particulate samples were acid digested in a clean lab on hot plates using trace metal grade concentrated HF (16.5M), HCl (6M) and, HNO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;(16M) acids (Yigiterhan and Murray, 2008; Yigiterhan et al., 2011, Yigiterhan et al., 2018). H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;was added for complete removal of the organic material. The elemental analyses were&amp;amp;nbsp;performed using ICP-OES.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

&lt;p&gt;There is concern that coral reefs in the Arabian (Persian) Gulf are being severely impacted by ocean acidification yet little is known about the carbonate system geochemistry in this region. The tropical coral reefs of the world reach their northernmost limits in the Gulf. Reefs there may be relatively small but they represent the regions biological store house. Historically, the countries bordering the Gulf used pearl oyster beds and coral reefs as a large part of their economy and cultural heritage. It comes as a surprise to many that the Gulf is a repository of biodiversity. The carbonate system chemistry in the Gulf was first sampled in 1977 but has not been studied since. Surface water enters the Gulf with relatively high concentrations of DIC and alkalinity from the Arabian Sea. As the water flows northward, alkalinity and DIC increase but salinity normalized alkalinity and DIC decrease. The decrease in concentrations of DIC and alkalinity can be used to determine the relative importance of CO2 removal by CaCO3 formation versus primary production. Another factor to consider is that as the water flows north some CO2 is lost due to gas exchange. At the time of the study in 1977 the Arabian Gulf was degassing CO2 to the atmosphere. Now 40 years have passed and the gradients and fluxes may have changed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because data regarding the progress of ocean acidification in the Arabian Gulf is sparse, an international collaboration between Qatar University (QU) and the University of Washington (UW) has been organized to fill this deficiency. This study started in 2018 with institutional funding from Qatar University. At present there is no definite end date. The initial study will consist of seasonal cruises on the &lt;em&gt;RV Janan&lt;/em&gt; in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Qatar. Our core data set will include hydrographic parameters, nutrients, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and alkalinity. pH and pCO2 will be calculated from DIC and alkalinity. After establishing regional concentrations we plan a detailed study of a healthy coral reef system to measure net calcification.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The goal of this study is to assess the status of the ocean carbonate system in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Qatar in the Arabian Gulf with respect to present and future impacts by ocean acidification and use the distributions of DIC and alkalinity to determine the relative importance of organic matter production and CaCO3 formation for sinks and sources of CO2.&lt;/p&gt;</gco:CharacterString>

                <gco:CharacterString>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Sampling&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Water column sampling using rosette mounted 10-L PVC Niskin bottles was conducted on December 5, 2018 and May 18, 2019 in the Arabian Gulf on the R/V Janan (Figure 1). Surface water samples and hydrographic data were collected at seven stations (stations 1C, 2C, 3C, 4C, 5C, 6B, 6C) along a transect from the central east coast of Qatar across the Qatari Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Stations were chosen to be nearly&amp;amp;nbsp; perpendicular to the major axis of the Gulf to capture main regional hydrographic features across the EEZ. The transect provides a reasonable representation of hydrographic distributions across the wider part of the Gulf. Samples were collected in triplicate at each station. Vertical profiles with one surface sample, one bottom sample, and 1 to 3 mid-depth samples were collected at stations 2C, 4C, 6B, and 6C.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Samples for DIC and total alkalinity were collected in 300 mL Wheaton BOD glass bottles with ground glass stoppers. Samples were sealed immediately after collection to prevent loss of CO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;. Samples were poisoned with 50 µL HgCl&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; (0.05% by volume) to prevent biological&amp;amp;nbsp;activity, then covered with aluminum&amp;amp;nbsp; foil to eliminate light and biological growth.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Analysis&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
The best approach for understanding ocean acidification is to measure the primary capacity factors of the carbonate system chemistry which are dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TAlk). DIC and alkalinity are the best set of parameters use for calculating pH, pCO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;and carbonate ion, because they are conservative properties during water mass mixing.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
After collection, samples were shipped to the University of Washington for DIC and TAlk analyses in Dr. Alex Gagnon’s laboratory. Carbonate system measurements follow the methods of Dickson et al. (2007). Briefly, TAlk (μmol kg&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;) was determined through open-cell automated titration (876 Dosimat plus, Metrohm AG) with a solution of 0.1M hydrochloric acid (HCl)+0.6M sodium chloride (NaCl). Total DIC (μmol/kg) was obtained through coulometric determination (VINDTA 3D, Marianda with UIC coulometer). Certified reference materials for TAlk and DIC obtained from Andrew Dickson (Scripps Institution of Oceanography) were run in conjunction with seawater samples as a calibration standard and to monitor precision. Long-term precision for DIC and TAlk in this lab, based on repeated measurements of CRM materials, was ± 3.7 μmol kg&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;(2σ std. dev.) and ± 4.3 μmol kg&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;(2σ std. dev.), respectively (Bolden et al., 2019).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;pCO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;and pH were calculated from DIC and Alk using CO2Calc using the total pH scale with carbonate equilibrium constants refit from Mehrbach et al. (1973) by Dickson and Millero (1987); borate alkalinity was calculated using the boron/chlorinity (salinity) relationship provided by Lee et al. (2010) and equilibrium constants from Dickson (1990).&amp;amp;nbsp; Where necessary, NTAlk, and NDIC values used in subsequent calculations were salinity-normalized to a mean salinity value of 40.0. Data analysis was executed using Microsoft Excel. Certain data properties were calculated using CO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;Calc. This includes parameters such as pH, CO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2-&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;, and pCO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;During both cruises, samples were also collected and analyzed for: Hydrographic properties using a SeaBird Electronics, SBE 911 on a CTD SeaBird rosette (T, S, O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, pH, % Transmission and fluorescence). The pH sensor used in our project is the SBE 27 pH/O.R.P (Redox) Sensor.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Dissolved oxygen was measured using the SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen sensor. Additional discrete samples&amp;amp;nbsp;were analyzed for dissolved oxygen within a few hours of collection using the titrimetric method (Winkler, 1888). Nutrients (NO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, NO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, NH&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, PO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, and Si) and chlorophyll were analyzed on filtered samples using classical techniques (Parsons et al., 1984).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Suspended particulate matter for particulate Ca analyses was sampled using 47 mm filter holders and 0.45 µM mesh size Nuclepore filters. Filtration volumes of 2 L, provided sufficient samples for analyses.&amp;amp;nbsp; Particulate samples were acid digested in a clean lab on hot plates using trace metal grade concentrated HF (16.5M), HCl (6M) and, HNO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;(16M) acids (Yigiterhan and Murray, 2008; Yigiterhan et al., 2011, Yigiterhan et al., 2018). H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;was added for complete removal of the organic material. The elemental analyses were&amp;amp;nbsp;performed using ICP-OES.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

            <gco:CharacterString>PI Supplied Instrument Name: VINDTA 3D, Marianda with UIC coulometer PI Supplied Instrument Description:Total DIC (μmol/kg) was obtained through coulometric determination (VINDTA 3D, Marianda with UIC coulometer)  Instrument Name: MARIANDA VINDTA 3C total inorganic carbon and titration alkalinity analyser Instrument Short Name:inorganic carbon and alkalinity analyser   Instrument Description: The Versatile INstrument for the Determination of Total inorganic carbon and titration Alkalinity (VINDTA) 3C is a laboratory alkalinity titration system combined with an extraction unit for coulometric titration, which simultaneously determines the alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon content of a sample. The sample transport is performed with peristaltic pumps and acid is added to the sample using a membrane pump. No pressurizing system is required and only one gas supply (nitrogen or dry and CO2-free air) is necessary. The system uses a Metrohm Titrino 719S, an ORION-Ross pH electrode and a Metrohm reference electrode. The burette, the pipette and the analysis cell have a water jacket around them. Precision is typically +/- 1 umol/kg for TA and/or DIC in open ocean water. Community Standard Description: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0481/</gco:CharacterString>
