Dissolved trace metal (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb) concentrations from depth profile samples collected on the 2018 EXPORTS cruise (RR1813) to the subarctic North Pacific near Ocean Station PAPA (Station P) on R/V Roger Revelle

Abstract:

This dataset includes concentrations of dissolved (<0.2 micrometers (µm)) manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in depth profile samples collected on 8 September 2018 during the EXports Processes in the Oceans from RemoTe Sensing (EXPORTS) cruise aboard R/V Roger Revelle cruise RR1813 at Ocean Station PAPA (Station P).

Methods & Sampling

Samples for dissolved trace metal concentrations were collected using a trace metal clean (TMC) rosette (Measures et al. 2008) on the R/V Roger Revelle on 8 September 2018 (R2R event #RR1813-SE-20180908.1732.001). A total of 10 depths were sampled for dissolved (<0.2 micrometers (μm), Pall Acropak) trace metals, between 95 meters (m) to 825 m. All depths were sampled in triplicate for intercalibration; only the results from the Buck lab are reported here. Samples were collected in acid-cleaned 125-milliliter (mL) low-density polyethylene (LDPE, Nalgene) bottles, and acidified to 0.024 M hydrochloric acid (HCl, Fisher Optima). Dissolved trace metal (Fe, Cu, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb) concentrations were determined by high-resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HR-ICP-MS) at the University of South Florida (Burns et al. 2023).

Sample analyses for dissolved trace metals were performed by Shannon Burns (USF).

Data Processing Description

Data Processing:
Data were processed using ESI SC version 2.9.0.380.

Data Quality Flags:
The standard Ocean Data View (ODV) / SeaDataNet qualifying flags were used (reference all flags at http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L20/current/).

1: Good Value: Good quality data value that is not part of any identified malfunction and has been verified as consistent with real phenomena during the quality control process. [Used when replicates were in good agreement and/or when dataset agreed with previously published results].

2: Probably Good Value: Data value that is probably consistent with real phenomena but this is unconfirmed. [Used when data is oceanographically consistent but no replicates or published datasets to compare with.]

3: Probably Bad Value: Data value recognized as unusual during quality control that forms part of a feature that is probably inconsistent with real phenomena. [Used when data not oceanographically consistent but replicate analyses agreed.]

4: Bad Value: An obviously erroneous data value. [Used when replicates did not agree].

5: Changed Value: Data value adjusted during quality control. [Not used.]

6: Value Below Detection Limit: The level of the measured phenomenon was too small to be quantified by the technique employed to measure it. Values are replaced with 'nd' for 'not detectable'. [Not used. See Table 1 (Supplemental File) for detection limits.]

7: Value in Excess: The level of the measured phenomenon was too large to be quantified by the technique employed to measure it. The accompanying value is the measurement limit for the technique. [Not used.]

8: Interpolated Value: This value has been derived by interpolation from other values in the data object. [Not used.]

9: Missing Value: The data value is missing. Any accompanying value will be a magic number representing absent data. [Not used.]

A: Value Phenomenon Uncertain: There is uncertainty in the description of the measured phenomenon associated with the value such as chemical species or biological entity. [Not used.]

BCO-DMO Processing:
- converted SAMPLING_DATE column to YYYY-MM-DD format;
- added the ISO_DateTime_UTC field;
- renamed fields to comply with BCO-DMO naming conventions.

Supplemental Table 1 to dataset ID 897253. 

Contains average concentration ± standard deviation for relevant quality control samples (QCs), reference materials, and Milli-Q (MQ) blanks during dissolved trace metal analyses. A set of air blanks was run every seaFAST run. The limit of detection (LOD) for each dissolved element was calculated as 3 times the average SD of the air blanks. The QC surface seawater used was from the North Pacific (NP) EXPORTS cruise in August 2018. Reference materials (SAFe S, GSP) with consensus values were used. Consensus values for SAFe S and GSP are available on the GEOTRACES website (https://www.geotraces.org/standards-and-reference-materials/).
