Pigment data for P2 & P5:

A comparison of the TURNER-determined chlorophyll a concentrations with the
HPLC-determined TOTCHLA concentrations (monovinyl chlorophyll a + divinyl
chlorophyll a + monovinyl chlorophyllide a; units = ng Chl a
equivalents/L) was performed for Process Cruise #2 (TTN-045) and Process
Cruise #5 (TTN-050). While good correlations were obtained for both
cruises, the slope obtained for Process Cruise #5 was significantly
different from 1 (i.e., TURNER > HPLC). This difference was probably
caused by the presence of Chl a-related pigments during Process Cruise #5.
Thus, we recommend that whenever possible use the HPLC pigment data and not
the TURNER pigment data. If HPLC data is not available for a given cast,
we further recommend that you use the following equations to transform the
TURNER data into HPLC-equivalent concentrations (cf., Babin, M., A. Morel,
H. Claustre, A. Bricaud, Z. Kolber and P.G. Falkowski. 1996. Nitrogen-
and irradiance-dependent variations of the maximum quantum yield of carbon
fixation in eutrophic, mesotrophic and oligotrophic marine systems.
Deep-Sea Research, in press).

Results of geometric mean regression analyses (reduced major axis):

Y = HPLC TOTCHLA (monovinyl chlorophyll a + divinyl chlorophyll a +
monovinyl chlorophyllide a), units = ng Chl a equivalents/L

X = TURNER chlorophyll a (it is necessary to convert the Turner Chl a
concentrations in the Arabian Sea data base from mg/m3 to ng/L by
multiplying concentrations by 1000)

(1) Process Cruise #2 (TTN-045)

HPLC TOTCHLA = TURNER*(0.975) + 4.833 (r = 0.9822, n = 146)

(2) Process Cruise #5 (TTN-050)

HPLC TOTCHLA = TURNER*(0.708) + 12.881 (r = 0.9772, n = 575)

Instruments

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name: Niskin Bottle

Supplied Description:

CTD/Niskin Rosette bottles

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.

Trace Metal Bottle

Supplied Description:

Trace Metal (TM) Rosette bottles

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Trace Metal Bottle

Acronym: TM Bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/30/

Generic Description:

Trace metal (TM) clean rosette bottle used for collecting trace metal clean seawater samples.
