Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas, and the ocean represents a significant source to the atmosphere. However, in situ measurements of N2O concentrations in the northeastern Pacific Ocean are scarce, and the processes controlling its production and consumption remain poorly constrained. During the R/V Kilo Moana cruise KM1314 (August 2013), vertical profiles were collected at Stations 1, 5, 8, and 13 from the surface to 300 m depth. The dataset includes dissolved N2O concentration...

N2O samples were collected using Niskin bottles attached at CTD, through silicone tubing directly into Wheaton 160 mL glass serum bottles and overflowed twice before filling. The tubing was removed, and a 1 mL headspace was introduced into each bottle before capping with a gray butyl septum. After collection, 100 μL of saturated mercuric chloride was added to each bottle and then resealed with the gray butyl septum and an aluminum crimp seal. Samples were stored in the dark at room temperature until analysis.
