        <gco:CharacterString>GP15 FIA Dissolved Al Fe Mn Leg 1 Dataset Description: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Note: This version of the dataset includes only dissolved Aluminum (Al). Fe and Mn have not yet been contributed to BCO-DMO.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; Methods and Sampling: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Sampling methods: &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
The water column samples were collected from The U.S. GEOTRACES trace-metal clean CTD carousel (GTC). This sampler has a plastic-coated aluminum frame, titanium pressure housings for electronics and sensors, no sacrificial zinc anodes, and 24 ×12 liter General Oceanics GO-FLO bottles modified for trace metal sampling (Cutter and Bruland, 2012). Before deployment and immediately upon recovery, the tops and bottoms of the GO-FLO bottles were covered with polyethylene shower-caps, and the bottles were removed from the frame and carried into the U.S. GEOTRACES clean container laboratory for sub-sampling. The GO-FLO bottles were pressurized to 6 psi using 0.2 μm HEPA-filtered compressed air, and samples were passed through 0.2 μm Pall ACROPAK SUPOR filter capsules that had been pre-cleaned by soaking overnight and flushed with 5 L of unacidified seawater.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;For the Loihi Seamount stations (Station 18.3 and 18.6), the seawater samples were also collected from a 36 place, ∼10 liter Niskin bottle rosette (ODF) in order to avoid questions of colocation due to short term time and space scale variability between hydrocasts. The samples were filtered through 0.8/0.45 μm Pall ACROPAK 500 capsules that had been pre-cleaned by soaking three days with 10% hydrochloric acid (1.2 M HCl) and flushed with 3-5 L of Milli-Q water, and stored refrigerated between casts. The capsule filter was pre-flushed with 0.5-1 L of unacidified seawater. The filtered seawater samples were acidified to pH 2 using sub-boiling distilled hydrochloric acid. Although the samples were drawn from a non trace-metal clean Niskin rosette, the Fe and Mn values are much larger than measured contamination levels for this system.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In order to evaluate the potential contamination for dAl from the 36 place Niskin rosette, the seawater samples were collected at Station 35 from GTC and ODF casts.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Surface seawater sampling was carried out using a towfish deployed from the starboard side of the vessel at a depth of ~3 m (Bruland et al., 2005), with seawater pumped through Teflon tubing from the fish into a clean “bubble” set up onboard. Filtered samples (0.2 μm Acropak) were taken while underway just before arrival at each hydro-station and occasionally during transit approximately halfway between stations. Sampling into acid-cleaned plastic bottles was conducted following GEOTRACES protocols (Cutter et al., 2017).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Samples of the 0.2 μm-filtered seawater were collected acid pre-washed 125 mL polymethylpentene bottles (PMP) after three rinses and were stored in plastic bags in the dark at room temperature before determination which was usually within 12 -36 hours of collection. Samples were analyzed shipboard for dissolved Al, Fe &amp;amp;amp; Mn using flow injection analysis methods (Resing and Measures, 1994; Measures et al., 1995, Resing and Mottl, 1992 respectively). Prior to determination samples were acidified to 0.006 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) using sub-boiling distilled HCl and were microwaved in groups of 4 for 3 minutes in a 900 W microwave oven to achieve a temperature of 60±10 ˚C. Samples were allowed to cool for at least 1 hour prior to determination. Samples were determined in groups of 8.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;For preparation for standard solutions: &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Shipboard mixed standards (Al and Fe, Mn) were prepared in the shore-based laboratory by serial dilution of commercial Al, Fe, and Mn standards (BDH Aristar) into distilled water which was acidified with the equivalent of 4 ml sub-boiled 6N HCl. Standards for instrument calibration were prepared daily from filtered seawater by acidifying 1 L of low Fe seawater from a previous cast with 1 ml of 6N HCl and microwaving for 5 minutes to reach a temperature of 60±10˚C. After 1 hour, 200±2 ml of the cooled seawater was added to each of three 250 ml PMP bottles each of which had been rinsed three times with the microwaved seawater and shaken dry. Working standards were prepared by adding 0, +100µL, +200µL spikes of the shipboard mixed standard to these bottles, to yield a standard curve of +4.94nM and +9.88nM for Al, +0.60nM and +1.20 nM for Fe, +0.62 nM and +1.23 nM for Mn. The system blank from the addition of the acid and buffer to samples was determined by double spiking a replicate sample i.e. by adding 2 x 125 µl 6N HCl and 5 ml of sample buffer to the replicate bottle and comparing the resulting signal to the original sample.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;For dissolved Al analysis:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Dissolved Al was determined using a Flow Injection Analysis scheme with fluorometric detection. Major components were a Rabbit peristaltic pump, a Dynamax FL-1 flourometer, a Rainin A/D board and a Macintosh G3 computer running Rainin MacIntegrator v 1.4.3 to log and reduce data. The analytical scheme produces a complex between lumogallion and dissolved Al which when excited at 484 nm produces flourescence at 552 nm. Detailed description of the methodology is published in Resing and Measures (1994). A 3-minute pre-concentration of sample (~9 ml) onto an 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) resin column yielded a detection limit of 0.14 and a precision of 1.8% at 2.51 nM.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;For dissolved Fe analysis:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Dissolved Fe was determined using a Flow Injection Analysis scheme with spectrophotometric detection (Rainin Dynamax UV-C). Major components were a Rabbit peristaltic pump, a Rainin Dynamax UV-C, a Rainin A/D board and a Macintosh G3 computer running Rainin MacIntegrator v 1.4.3 to log and reduce data. The spectrophotometric detection of the iron eluted from the column is achieved through its catalytic effect on the oxidation of N,N-dimethylp-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (DPD) the oxidized product is measured at 514 nm. Detailed description of the methodology is published in Measures et al (1995). A 3-minute pre-concentration of sample (~9 ml) onto an 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) resin column yielded a detection limit of 0.071 nM and a precision of 1.9% at 1.4 nM.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;For dissolved Mn analysis:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Dissolved Mn was determined using a Flow Injection Analysis scheme with spectrophotometric detection (Rainin Dynamax UV-C). Major components were a Rabbit peristaltic pump, a Rainin Dynamax UV-C, a Rainin A/D board and a Macintosh G3 computer running Rainin MacIntegrator v 1.4.3 to log and reduce data. The spectrophotometric detection of the manganese eluted from the column is achieved through its catalytic effect on the formation of malachite green which is measured at 620 nm. Detailed description of the methodology is published in Resing and Mottl (1992). A 3-minute pre-concentration of sample (~9 ml) onto an 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) resin column yielded a detection limit of 0.15 nM and a precision of 9.7% at 0.51 nM.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Calculation of each dissolved trace element concentration: &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Calculation of sample concentrations was by dividing the peak height derived from sample using the A/D software by the calculated slope of the standard curve. Variations in the slope of the standard curve during a day's run were corrected by the following procedure.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The change in the value of the slope of the standard curve between each run of standards was divided by the number of samples run between those standards to provide a calculated value for the slope of the standard curve at the point each sample was run. The value of the peak height for each sample was then recalculated by the estimated ratio of the standard curve slope at the point that sample was run. The estimate of the slope at each sample run is calculated by: (Initial slope + (incremental change per sample X # of samples run since initial standard was run)). The sample concentration is then calculated from the initial standard curve slope.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The analytical blanks of dissolved Fe and Mn were determined by the shore-based ICPMS data that was measured by co-PI Dr. J. Fitzsimmons (Texas A&amp;amp;amp;M University). The ICPMS data and its metadata will be submitted separately. The blank corrected FIA data was obtained from the intercept of the correlation plot between the ICPMS data and FIA data on each of the days the FIA was run.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Inter-calibration for dissolved Al:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
GEOTRACES standard seawater and internal standard seawater were analyzed periodically. A large batch of seawater was acidified prior to the cruise and used as a primary standard during measurements. This standard seawater was run along with each sample analysis. Our laboratory has participated the GEOTRACES intercalibration effort using this flow injection method.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;We report our laboratory values for the GEOTRACES GS standard analyses using this flow injection method to be: GEOTRACES GS = 29.63±1.15nM (n=2), D1=0.78, D2=0.88, GSP=1.10±0.03nM (n=2), GSC=0.54±0.08nM (n=2).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;These results are in good agreement with this from the GEOTRACES intercalibration effort for Al and demonstrate that the methodologies employed to produce this dataset detect concentrations within the standard deviation of current consensus values.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Al data at Station 35 from the GEOTRACES PMT cruise (GP15) were compared with the value at Station 36 from the GP16 EPZT cruise obtained by Joe Resing which all show very similar results throughout the water column.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

                            <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.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Description from NSF award abstract:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
GEOTRACES is a global effort in the field of Chemical Oceanography in which the United States plays a major role. The goal of the GEOTRACES program is to understand the distributions of many elements and their isotopes in the ocean. Until quite recently, these elements could not be measured at a global scale. Understanding the distributions of these elements and isotopes will increase the understanding of processes that shape their distributions and also the processes that depend on these elements. For example, many &quot;trace elements&quot; (elements that are present in very low amounts) are also important for life, and their presence or absence can play a vital role in the population of marine ecosystems. This project will launch the next major U.S. GEOTRACES expedition in the Pacific Ocean between Alaska and Tahiti. The award made here would support all of the major infrastructure for this expedition, including the research vessel, the sampling equipment, and some of the core oceanographic measurements. This project will also support the personnel needed to lead the expedition and collect the samples.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This project would support the essential sampling operations and infrastructure for the U.S. GEOTRACES Pacific Meridional Transect along 152° W to support a large variety of individual science projects on trace element and isotope (TEI) biogeochemistry that will follow. Thus, the major objectives of this management proposal are: (1) plan and coordinate a 60 day research cruise in 2018; (2) obtain representative samples for a wide variety of TEIs using a conventional CTD/rosette, GEOTRACES Trace Element Sampling Systems, and in situ pumps; (3) acquire conventional CTD hydrographic data along with discrete samples for salinity, dissolved oxygen, algal pigments, and dissolved nutrients at micro- and nanomolar levels; (4) ensure that proper QA/QC protocols are followed and reported, as well as fulfilling all GEOTRACES intercalibration protocols; (5) prepare and deliver all hydrographic data to the GEOTRACES Data Assembly Centre (via the US BCO-DMO data center); and (6) coordinate all cruise communications between investigators, including preparation of a hydrographic report/publication. This project would also provide baseline measurements of TEIs in the Clarion-Clipperton fracture zone (~7.5°N-17°N, ~155°W-115°W) where large-scale deep sea mining is planned. Environmental impact assessments are underway in partnership with the mining industry, but the effect of mining activities on TEIs in the water column is one that could be uniquely assessed by the GEOTRACES community. In support of efforts to communicate the science to a wide audience the investigators will recruit an early career freelance science journalist with interests in marine science and oceanography to participate on the cruise and do public outreach, photography and/or videography, and social media from the ship, as well as to submit articles about the research to national media. The project would also support several graduate students.&lt;/p&gt;</gco:CharacterString>

                            <gco:CharacterString>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;NSF Award Abstract:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This project will provide shipboard measurements of the dissolved trace elements aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn) during an Alaska to Tahiti cruise that will sail as part of the US GEOTRACES Pacific Meridional Transect (PMT). The PMT expedition is part of the international GEOTRACES program designed to improve understanding of global ocean biogeochemical cycles. The growth of microscopic oceanic plants in surface waters depends on the availability of certain trace elements (particularly dissolved Fe). In addition, the distribution of this and other trace elements record current and past chemical and biological processes in the ocean. The PMT cruise track includes multiple unique oceanic conditions and thus the results of the work will provide important insight into diverse global ocean processes. For broader scientific impact, results will be incorporated into models that address the current and future role of the ocean in global processes. Assessing the distribution of trace elements in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone, along the cruise track, will also provide an important baseline for this region where seabed mining of manganese nodules is planned. Educational outreach will take place with a mid-cruise stop in Hilo, Hawaii to engage local students with visits to the ship. Direct exposure to a working oceanographic research vessel together with a post-cruise follow up visit will provide students with a unique opportunity to discuss the findings from the expedition directly with the scientists engaged in the project.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To develop the data sets required for new understanding of the relative importance of trace element input processes in establishing oceanic chemical distributions, seawater samples from the entire water column will be collected using a custom designed sampling package at 41 locations during the 62-day cruise. The northern part of the cruise track originates in a region where very low concentrations of dissolved Fe in surface waters limit plant growth. Further to the south, increased atmospheric deposition of mineral dust blown from the continents will be traced by measuring the dissolved Al concentration in surface waters. The addition of this dust also adds dissolved Fe. Potential additional inputs of Fe from coastal regions will be identified by coincident increases in dissolved Mn concentrations. The project will compare and correlate variations in Al, Fe, and Mn to quantify and identify distinct addition processes along the cruise track. By using shipboard flow injection analysis to provide near real-time measurements for these trace elements, the potential exists to modify sampling strategies for maximum scientific return. The shipboard results will also help identify any sampling contamination problems that are a constant risk when collecting these low-level trace elements. Altogether, the shipboard analysis of these essential elements is an essential activity to ensure success of the GEOTRACES PMT.&lt;/p&gt;</gco:CharacterString>

                <gco:CharacterString>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Sampling methods: &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
The water column samples were collected from The U.S. GEOTRACES trace-metal clean CTD carousel (GTC). This sampler has a plastic-coated aluminum frame, titanium pressure housings for electronics and sensors, no sacrificial zinc anodes, and 24 ×12 liter General Oceanics GO-FLO bottles modified for trace metal sampling (Cutter and Bruland, 2012). Before deployment and immediately upon recovery, the tops and bottoms of the GO-FLO bottles were covered with polyethylene shower-caps, and the bottles were removed from the frame and carried into the U.S. GEOTRACES clean container laboratory for sub-sampling. The GO-FLO bottles were pressurized to 6 psi using 0.2 μm HEPA-filtered compressed air, and samples were passed through 0.2 μm Pall ACROPAK SUPOR filter capsules that had been pre-cleaned by soaking overnight and flushed with 5 L of unacidified seawater.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;For the Loihi Seamount stations (Station 18.3 and 18.6), the seawater samples were also collected from a 36 place, ∼10 liter Niskin bottle rosette (ODF) in order to avoid questions of colocation due to short term time and space scale variability between hydrocasts. The samples were filtered through 0.8/0.45 μm Pall ACROPAK 500 capsules that had been pre-cleaned by soaking three days with 10% hydrochloric acid (1.2 M HCl) and flushed with 3-5 L of Milli-Q water, and stored refrigerated between casts. The capsule filter was pre-flushed with 0.5-1 L of unacidified seawater. The filtered seawater samples were acidified to pH 2 using sub-boiling distilled hydrochloric acid. Although the samples were drawn from a non trace-metal clean Niskin rosette, the Fe and Mn values are much larger than measured contamination levels for this system.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In order to evaluate the potential contamination for dAl from the 36 place Niskin rosette, the seawater samples were collected at Station 35 from GTC and ODF casts.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Surface seawater sampling was carried out using a towfish deployed from the starboard side of the vessel at a depth of ~3 m (Bruland et al., 2005), with seawater pumped through Teflon tubing from the fish into a clean “bubble” set up onboard. Filtered samples (0.2 μm Acropak) were taken while underway just before arrival at each hydro-station and occasionally during transit approximately halfway between stations. Sampling into acid-cleaned plastic bottles was conducted following GEOTRACES protocols (Cutter et al., 2017).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Samples of the 0.2 μm-filtered seawater were collected acid pre-washed 125 mL polymethylpentene bottles (PMP) after three rinses and were stored in plastic bags in the dark at room temperature before determination which was usually within 12 -36 hours of collection. Samples were analyzed shipboard for dissolved Al, Fe &amp;amp;amp; Mn using flow injection analysis methods (Resing and Measures, 1994; Measures et al., 1995, Resing and Mottl, 1992 respectively). Prior to determination samples were acidified to 0.006 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) using sub-boiling distilled HCl and were microwaved in groups of 4 for 3 minutes in a 900 W microwave oven to achieve a temperature of 60±10 ˚C. Samples were allowed to cool for at least 1 hour prior to determination. Samples were determined in groups of 8.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;For preparation for standard solutions: &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Shipboard mixed standards (Al and Fe, Mn) were prepared in the shore-based laboratory by serial dilution of commercial Al, Fe, and Mn standards (BDH Aristar) into distilled water which was acidified with the equivalent of 4 ml sub-boiled 6N HCl. Standards for instrument calibration were prepared daily from filtered seawater by acidifying 1 L of low Fe seawater from a previous cast with 1 ml of 6N HCl and microwaving for 5 minutes to reach a temperature of 60±10˚C. After 1 hour, 200±2 ml of the cooled seawater was added to each of three 250 ml PMP bottles each of which had been rinsed three times with the microwaved seawater and shaken dry. Working standards were prepared by adding 0, +100µL, +200µL spikes of the shipboard mixed standard to these bottles, to yield a standard curve of +4.94nM and +9.88nM for Al, +0.60nM and +1.20 nM for Fe, +0.62 nM and +1.23 nM for Mn. The system blank from the addition of the acid and buffer to samples was determined by double spiking a replicate sample i.e. by adding 2 x 125 µl 6N HCl and 5 ml of sample buffer to the replicate bottle and comparing the resulting signal to the original sample.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;For dissolved Al analysis:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Dissolved Al was determined using a Flow Injection Analysis scheme with fluorometric detection. Major components were a Rabbit peristaltic pump, a Dynamax FL-1 flourometer, a Rainin A/D board and a Macintosh G3 computer running Rainin MacIntegrator v 1.4.3 to log and reduce data. The analytical scheme produces a complex between lumogallion and dissolved Al which when excited at 484 nm produces flourescence at 552 nm. Detailed description of the methodology is published in Resing and Measures (1994). A 3-minute pre-concentration of sample (~9 ml) onto an 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) resin column yielded a detection limit of 0.14 and a precision of 1.8% at 2.51 nM.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;For dissolved Fe analysis:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Dissolved Fe was determined using a Flow Injection Analysis scheme with spectrophotometric detection (Rainin Dynamax UV-C). Major components were a Rabbit peristaltic pump, a Rainin Dynamax UV-C, a Rainin A/D board and a Macintosh G3 computer running Rainin MacIntegrator v 1.4.3 to log and reduce data. The spectrophotometric detection of the iron eluted from the column is achieved through its catalytic effect on the oxidation of N,N-dimethylp-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (DPD) the oxidized product is measured at 514 nm. Detailed description of the methodology is published in Measures et al (1995). A 3-minute pre-concentration of sample (~9 ml) onto an 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) resin column yielded a detection limit of 0.071 nM and a precision of 1.9% at 1.4 nM.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;For dissolved Mn analysis:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Dissolved Mn was determined using a Flow Injection Analysis scheme with spectrophotometric detection (Rainin Dynamax UV-C). Major components were a Rabbit peristaltic pump, a Rainin Dynamax UV-C, a Rainin A/D board and a Macintosh G3 computer running Rainin MacIntegrator v 1.4.3 to log and reduce data. The spectrophotometric detection of the manganese eluted from the column is achieved through its catalytic effect on the formation of malachite green which is measured at 620 nm. Detailed description of the methodology is published in Resing and Mottl (1992). A 3-minute pre-concentration of sample (~9 ml) onto an 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) resin column yielded a detection limit of 0.15 nM and a precision of 9.7% at 0.51 nM.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Calculation of each dissolved trace element concentration: &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Calculation of sample concentrations was by dividing the peak height derived from sample using the A/D software by the calculated slope of the standard curve. Variations in the slope of the standard curve during a day's run were corrected by the following procedure.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The change in the value of the slope of the standard curve between each run of standards was divided by the number of samples run between those standards to provide a calculated value for the slope of the standard curve at the point each sample was run. The value of the peak height for each sample was then recalculated by the estimated ratio of the standard curve slope at the point that sample was run. The estimate of the slope at each sample run is calculated by: (Initial slope + (incremental change per sample X # of samples run since initial standard was run)). The sample concentration is then calculated from the initial standard curve slope.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The analytical blanks of dissolved Fe and Mn were determined by the shore-based ICPMS data that was measured by co-PI Dr. J. Fitzsimmons (Texas A&amp;amp;amp;M University). The ICPMS data and its metadata will be submitted separately. The blank corrected FIA data was obtained from the intercept of the correlation plot between the ICPMS data and FIA data on each of the days the FIA was run.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Inter-calibration for dissolved Al:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
GEOTRACES standard seawater and internal standard seawater were analyzed periodically. A large batch of seawater was acidified prior to the cruise and used as a primary standard during measurements. This standard seawater was run along with each sample analysis. Our laboratory has participated the GEOTRACES intercalibration effort using this flow injection method.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;We report our laboratory values for the GEOTRACES GS standard analyses using this flow injection method to be: GEOTRACES GS = 29.63±1.15nM (n=2), D1=0.78, D2=0.88, GSP=1.10±0.03nM (n=2), GSC=0.54±0.08nM (n=2).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;These results are in good agreement with this from the GEOTRACES intercalibration effort for Al and demonstrate that the methodologies employed to produce this dataset detect concentrations within the standard deviation of current consensus values.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Al data at Station 35 from the GEOTRACES PMT cruise (GP15) were compared with the value at Station 36 from the GP16 EPZT cruise obtained by Joe Resing which all show very similar results throughout the water column.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

            <gco:CharacterString>PI Supplied Instrument Name: Flow injection for dAl lumogallion system with Rainin Dynamax FL-1 flourometer PI Supplied Instrument Description:Dissolved Al was determined using a Flow Injection Analysis scheme with fluorometeric detection. The scheme produces a complex between lumogallion and dissolved Al. Major components of the scheme include a Rabbit peristaltic pump, a Dynamax FL-1 fluorometer, a Rainin A/D board, and a Macintosh G3 computer running Rainin MacIntegrator v 1.4.3 to log and reduce data. Instrument Name: Flow injection lumogallion system with fluorometer Instrument Short Name:FIA with Fluorometer   Instrument Description: An analytical system used to determine concentrations of chemical species in a sample based on the fluorescence from the reaction between lumogallion and the species of interest. The system typically comprises individual components typically including pumps, injection and autosampler valves, preconcentration columns and a fluorometer. The system is normally uniquely assembled for each analysis.

            <gco:CharacterString>PI Supplied Instrument Name: tow fish 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>
