Total dissolved copper and copper speciation from Hood Canal, Puget Sound, Washington, USA from R/V Clifford A. Barnes CB960, CB974, CB980, CB985, 2011-2012 (Nitrification and Marine Planktonic Biodiversity project)

Abstract:

Expand/Collapse All

Methods & Sampling

All samples for total dissolved copper on this cruise were well above our detection limit of 100pM determined from the standard deviation of procedural blanks using our ICP-MS methods.

Cu speciation was determined using cathodic stripping voltammetry on samples titrated with added copper.

Data Processing Description

Data points below the detection limit of the cathodic stripping voltammetry technique (~ 0.15 nM) were not used in the titration. However, all titrations had a significant number of points to fit a non-linear regression curve. In instances where the fit did not converged, or converged at a non-realistic value (e.g. negative numbers) the data were flagged.

The standard error for [Cu2+] is asymmetric because it is not determined the same way - hence the different values.

The Cu2+ error propagation was derived from the standard deviations of K and [L] when used in equation 11 from Moffett and Dupont 2007 to calculate [Cu2+].

Ammonium oxidation rates were determined as described in Jacquot et al. (2014).

Instruments

BASi Controlled Growth Mercury Electrode

Supplied Name: BASI CGME

Supplied Description:

BioAnalytical Systems (BASi) Controlled Growth Mercury Electrode set to the Static Mercury Drop setting (drop size: 14) and interfaced with a BASi Epsilon ε2 voltammetric analyzer.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: BASi Controlled Growth Mercury Electrode

Acronym: BASI CGME

Generic Description:

Bioanalytical Systems (BASi) Mercury drop electrodes are generated by the BASi Controlled Growth Mercury Electrode (CGME) in three modes:

DME (Dropping Mercury Electrode) - mercury is allowed to flow freely from the reservoir down the capillary and so the growth of the mercury drop and its lifetime is controlled by gravity. (The optional 100 um capillary is recommended for this mode.)

SMDE (Static Mercury Drop Electrode) - the drop size is determined by the length of time for which the fast-response capillary valve is opened, and the drop is dislodged by a drop knocker. The dispense/knock timing is microprocessor-controlled and is typically coordinated with the potential pulse or square-wave waveform. This mode can also used to generate the Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode required for stripping experiments.

CGME (Controlled Growth Mercury Electrode) - the mercury drop is grown by a series of pulses that open the capillary valve. The number of pulses, their duration, and their frequency can be varied by PC control, providing great flexibility in both the drop size and its rate of growth. This CGME mode can be used for both polarographic and stripping experiments.

CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Supplied Name: CTD SBE 911plus

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Acronym: CTD SBE 911plus

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0058/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 911 plus is a type of CTD instrument package for continuous measurement of conductivity, temperature and pressure. The SBE 911 plus includes the SBE 9plus Underwater Unit and the SBE 11plus Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) for deployment from a vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 plus and SBE 11 plus is called a SBE 911 plus. The SBE 9 plus uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 plus and SBE 4). The SBE 9 plus CTD can be configured with up to eight auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, light (PAR), light transmission, etc.). more information from Sea-Bird Electronics
