Nutrient concentrations from R/V Pelican cruise PE22-03 in the Northern Gulf of Mexico in August 2021

Abstract:

This dataset includes marine chemistry measurements (PO4, SiOH4, NO3, NO2, NH4) from the "Microbial DO respir" cruise on R/V Pelican (cruise ID PE22-03) in the Northern Gulf of Mexico in August 2021. Surface and bottom water samples were collected in duplicate at five stations.

Methods & Sampling

Sampling was conducted on R/V Pelican cruise PE22-03 in the Northern Gulf of Mexico in August 2021. Surface and bottom water samples were collected in duplicate at five stations.

Duplicate water samples from surface and bottom water at each station were collected from Niskin bottles attached to the CTD rosette into polycarbonate carboys and subsequently filtered via peristaltic pumping and masterflex tubing through 2.7 µm Whatman GF/D and 0.22 µm Sterivex filters. This filtrate was collected into 50 mL Falcon tubes and immediately stored at -20 degrees Celsius. Samples were shipped frozen to the University of Washington Marine Chemistry Laboratory for analysis.

Details on sample processing for this dataset can be found in the attached Supplemental File "PE22-03_Nutrients_File_Header.pdf".

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:
- added station latitude and longitude from the separate file of station locations for PE22-03;
- renamed fields to comply with BCO-DMO naming conventions;
- rounded numeric columns to same precision shown in the original Excel file;
- empty/blank values are filled with "nd" (no data).

Instruments

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name: Niskin bottles

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Niskin bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0412/

Generic Description:

A Niskin bottle (a next generation water sampler based on the Nansen bottle) is a cylindrical, non-metallic water collection device with stoppers at both ends. The bottles can be attached individually on a hydrowire or deployed in 12, 24, or 36 bottle Rosette systems mounted on a frame and combined with a CTD. Niskin bottles are used to collect discrete water samples for a range of measurements including pigments, nutrients, plankton, etc.

Nutrient Autoanalyzer

Supplied Name: SEAL AA3

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Nutrient Autoanalyzer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB04/

Generic Description:

Nutrient Autoanalyzer is a generic term used when specific type, make and model were not specified. In general, a Nutrient Autoanalyzer is an automated flow-thru system for doing nutrient analysis (nitrate, ammonium, orthophosphate, and silicate) on seawater samples.

Parameters

Date and time formats are described in python strftime() syntax.
