Description

This dataset contains chemistry from fluid samples collected by OsmoSamplers including, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), the stable carbon isotope ratio of dissolved inorganic carbon (13C:12C ratio in DIC). It also contains concentrations of V, Rb, Mo, Cs, Ba, U, Si, Sr, Li, S, Na, Ca, Mg, and K. Samples were collected at the Dorado Outcrop during the R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-24.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Continuous fluid samplers (OsmoSamplers) included a 12-membrane pump and one coil of Teflon tubing that was 300-m-long and small bore (1.1 mm ID). The tubing was initially filled with 18 MΩ distilled water. Upon retrieval, the Teflon coil was cut in 1.1 m lengths and the fluid was expelled into hot acid cleaned plastic microcentrifuge tubes. For more information about OsmoSamplers see the instruments page.

The R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-09 (2013 Jason/Sentry Expedition) deployed the OsmoSamplers. They were deployed for almost a full year. The R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-24 recovered the OsmoSamplers. Dorado Outcrop is off the west coast of Costa Rica in the Pacific Ocean at location 9 degrees 5.5 minutes north, 87 degrees 6.0 minutes west. For more information about operations of this cruise see the expedition reports and cruise information (AT26-24, AT26-09).

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Other than converting signal counts, voltages, etc. to concentrations, the data have not been processed further.

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:

* added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
* added fields for OsmoSampler_name, date_deployed, date_recovered, location (e.g. Marker_K) from information in comments of original files submitted.
* Date format converted to ISO Date format

Instrument Type

Generic Name: osmotic pump

Generic Description:

A pump that uses osmotic pressure to collect water samples.

An example of an osmotic pump is an OsmoSampler (Jannasch et al., 2004) which has no electrical or mechanical parts.
