North Pacific Atmospheric Particulates Dataset Description: Methods and Sampling: <p>On-ship aerosol sampling was conducted on the R/V Dong Fang Hong-3 during a cruise to the western North Pacific from October 31 to December 1, 2019 (Chief Scientist Zaohui, Chen of the Ocean University of China, (<a href="mailto:chenzhaohui@ouc.edu.cn">chenzhaohui@ouc.edu.cn</a>)). The ship sailed from Qingdao, China (36°1'56"N, 120°13'56"E) to the western North Pacific (14°0'2"N, 149°35'56"E). Two portable aerosol particle samplers (model 2030, Qingdao Laoying Environmental Technology Co.) were used with a filter size of 9 centimeters (cm) O.D. (outer diameter). The GF/F filters were precombusted (550 degrees Celsius (°C), 4 hours) before use, and the sampling period was 18 to 72 hours for each filter with an air flow rate of 100 liters pers minute (L/min) based on the cruise track. A total of 16 samples were collected during the cruise.</p>
<p>For the aerosol samples, measurements were made of the concentrations of aerosol particulate organic carbon (POC), total nitrogen (TN), and carbon isotope (¹³C and ¹⁴C) compositions of aerosol OC. All measurements were conducted at the Center for Isotope Geochemistry and Geochronology (CIGG) at the Qingdao National Laboratory for Marine Science and
Technology (QNLM) in Qingdao, China. For atmospheric POC measurements, a cut piece of filter containing particles was acidifed first with 10% high-purity HCl to remove inorganic carbon and then dried at 50°C. Concentrations of POC and TN were measured using an elemental analyzer (Elementar vario Isotope select) with analytical standard deviations of ±0.03% for OC, and ±0.04% for TN (n = 6). The δ¹³C values of POC were measured using a Thermal Delta V Advantage isotope ratio mass spectrometer coupled with an Elemental Analyzer-IsoLink CN. Values of δ¹³C were reported in ‰ relative to ¹³C standards (IAEA-CH-3, cellulose, and IAEA-600 caffeine), and the analytic precision was ≤0.2‰ (n = 10). For POC ¹⁴C measurements, the pretreated filters were placed separately in double quartz tubes (precombusted at 850°C for 2 hours) with CuO and Ag wires added. The tubes were then evacuated on a vacuum line, flame sealed, and combusted at 850°C for 2 hours (Druffel et al., 1992). CO₂ resulting from POC oxidation was collected cryogenically and quantified monometrically on a vacuum line. The purified CO₂ was converted to graphite using the closed tube iron reduction method (Xu et al., 2007; Walker et al., 2019) and ¹⁴C was measured by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS, NEC 0.5MV XCAMS). Δ¹⁴C results were reported, and conventional radiocarbon ages [years before present (BP)] were calculated based on the study by Stuiver and Polach (1977).</p>

Collaborative Research: Characterization of Reactive Nitrogen in The North Pacific Atmosphere

Collaborative Research: Characterization of Reactive Nitrogen in The North Pacific Atmosphere
<p><strong>NSF Award Abstract:</strong><br />
Nitrogen is an essential element for life, and its availability can limit the growth of phytoplankton in the surface waters of the oceans. One source of nitrogen to surface waters is deposition from the atmosphere, which is the result of reactive nitrogen emissions from both human (anthropogenic) activities and natural processes. Anthropogenic nitrogen emissions to the atmosphere and nitrogen deposition to the oceans have increased exponentially since preindustrial times. In fact, global modeling studies have suggested that as much as 80% of total nitrogen deposition to the oceans is anthropogenic in origin, and that the magnitude of input to the global oceans rivals estimates of biological nitrogen fixation. The impacts associated with this increased nitrogen deposition are clear in both terrestrial and coastal systems, but the implications for open ocean biogeochemistry are less well studied. Recent work in the North Pacific Ocean (NPO) has suggested that increased nitrogen due to anthropogenic atmospheric deposition is detectable even in the open ocean, while other work can explain nutrient dynamics based upon natural biological and physical processes. The investigators propose to study the influence of both anthropogenic and natural sources on the deposition of nitrogen (as nitrate, ammonium, and organic nitrogen) in the NPO. This will be based on collection of aerosol and rainwater samples year-round at two sites: (1) Chang-Dao Island, China where they expect high anthropogenic nitrogen inputs; and (2) Oahu, Hawaii where they expect marine sources to dominate. They will also collect ship-based samples in the marine boundary layer via already planned short-term research cruises in each season. In addition to the scientific outcomes, this project will provide for human resources and professional development of the team members (faculty members, a graduate student, undergraduate student, and technicians), advance international collaborations, and contribute to education and public outreach. Identifying the sources of nitrogen deposition to the open ocean is crucial for understanding anthropogenic impacts on biogeochemical cycles. A primary question is, is nitrogen deposition the result of external, anthropogenic processes or does it represent recycled nitrogen from the ocean's point of view? The specific objectives of this project are to: characterize the atmospheric composition and sources of inorganic (ammonium and nitrate) and organic nitrogen with an emphasis on seasonality; diagnose the influence of air-sea exchange versus anthropogenic sources of nitrogen on atmospheric deposition; and determine the isotopic composition of gaseous and particulate inorganic nitrogen in the marine boundary layer via ship-based sample collections in the NPO. Using concentration and isotopic measurements of reactive nitrogen species, in addition to transport and chemical box modeling, the study aims to characterize nitrogen deposition in two locations with very different source influences. This study will provide the first comprehensive, seasonal analysis of the isotopic values of reactive nitrogen species in the NPO atmosphere where nitrogen deposition is considered intense. Ultimately this project will lead to a better understanding of how anthropogenic changes in the atmospheric nitrogen cycle may influence the biogeochemistry of the surface ocean as well as the composition of the marine atmosphere.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.</p>

PI Supplied Instrument Name: accelerator mass spectrometry PI Supplied Instrument Description:The Δ14C values of POC were measured by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS, NEC 0.5MV XCAMS). Instrument Name: Accelerator Mass Spectrometer Instrument Short Name:AMS Instrument Description: An AMS measures "long-lived radionuclides that occur naturally in our environment. AMS uses a particle accelerator in conjunction with ion sources, large magnets, and detectors to separate out interferences and count single atoms in the presence of 1x1015 (a thousand million million) stable atoms, measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of the products of sample molecule disassociation, atom ionization and ion acceleration." AMS permits ultra low-level measurement of compound concentrations and isotope ratios that traditional alpha-spectrometry cannot provide.
