Lead (Pb) concentrations and Pb isotope ratios (206Pb/207Pb, 208Pb/207Pb, 206Pb/204Pb) from Leg 2 (Hilo, HI to Papeete, French Polynesia) of the US GEOTRACES Pacific Meridional Transect (PMT) cruise (GP15, RR1815) on R/V Roger Revelle from Oct-Nov 2018

Methods & Sampling

During September 23 to November 22, 2018, the R/V Roger Revelle completed a trace element (and their isotopes) hydrographic section along ~152° West from 56° North to 20° South (GEOTRACES GP15; cruise IDs RR1814 and RR1815). Full water column trace metal clean samples were obtained with the U.S. GEOTRACES Carousel (GTC) composed of 24 12-liter trace metal clean GO-Flow sampling systems mounted on a trace metal free powder-coated titanium rosette system. Two-liter samples were drawn into TE clean high-density polyethylene bottles with polypropylene lids, double-bagged, and returned to the shore lab where they were acidified to pH 2 with TE clean hydrochloric acid and allowed to sit for at least one month prior to sample analysis.

Three of the stations had lead (Pb) concentrations determined at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by isotope dilution quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) (VG Plasmaquad 2+) for intercalibration with the Texas A&M (TAMU) lab of Jessica Fitzsimmons who analyzed all of the cruise stations. The rest of the full- and super-stations were analyzed at MIT for Pb isotope ratios (206Pb/207Pb, 208Pb/207Pb, 206Pb/204Pb) after Pb extraction and purification on a GV Isoprobe multicollector magnetic sector plasma mass spectrometer with calibration to NBS981 standard.

Data Processing Description

Quality Flags:
The standard Ocean Data View flags were used (reference all flags at https://www.bodc.ac.uk/data/codes_and_formats/odv_format/):

1: Good Value: Good quality data value that is not part of any identified malfunction and has been verified as consistent with real phenomena during the quality control process.

2: Probably Good Value: Data value that is probably consistent with real phenomena but this is unconfirmed or data value forming part of a malfunction that is considered too small to affect the overall quality of the data object of which it is a part. [Used when only one replicate confirmed the reported value.]

3: Probably Bad Value: Data value recognized as unusual during quality control that forms part of a feature that is probably inconsistent with real phenomena.

4: Bad Value: An obviously erroneous data value.

BCO-DMO Processing

- Imported original file "RR1815_dataTemplate.xlsx" into the BCO-DMO system.
- Renamed fields to comply with BCO-DMO naming conventions.
- Changed dates with year "2019" to "2018".
- Created date-time fields in ISO 8601 format.
- Removed the original date and time columns.
- Changed Longitude values of "-1562" to "-156.962"
- Removed empty columns: Gear_ID, Rosette_Position, End_Latitude, End_Longitude, and the BOAT_PUMP columns.
- Saved the final file as "933383_v1_gp15_pb_and_pb_isotopes_leg2.csv".

Instruments

GO-FLO Bottle

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: GO-FLO Bottle

Acronym: GO-FLO

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

Generic Description:

GO-FLO bottle cast used to collect water samples for pigment, nutrient, plankton, etc. The GO-FLO sampling bottle is specially designed to avoid sample contamination at the surface, internal spring contamination, loss of sample on deck (internal seals), and exchange of water from different depths.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer

Supplied Name: quadrupole ICPMS (VG Plasmaquad 2+)

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer

Acronym: ICP Mass Spec

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB15/

Generic Description:

An ICP Mass Spec is an instrument that passes nebulized samples into an inductively-coupled gas plasma (8-10000 K) where they are atomized and ionized. Ions of specific mass-to-charge ratios are quantified in a quadrupole mass spectrometer.

Multi Collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer

Supplied Name: GV Isoprobe multicollector magnetic sector plasma mass spectrometer

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Multi Collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer

Acronym: MC-ICPMS

Generic Description:

A Multi Collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (MC-ICPMS) is a type of mass spectrometry where the sample is ionized in a plasma (a partially ionized gas, such as Argon, containing free electrons) that has been generated by electromagnetic induction. A series of collectors is used to detect several ion beams simultaneously.

A MC-ICPMS is a hybrid mass spectrometer that combines the advantages of an inductively coupled plasma source and the precise measurements of a magnetic sector multicollector mass spectrometer. The primary advantage of the MC-ICPMS is its ability to analyze a broader range of elements, including those with high ionization potential that are difficult to analyze by Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (TIMS). The ICP source also allows flexibility in how samples are introduced to the mass spectrometer and allows the analysis of samples introduced either as an aspirated solution or as an aerosol produced by laser ablation.
