Description

USGS Arctic Ocean Carbon Cruise 2012: Discrete Underway Laboratory Data
Discrete underway seawater samples that were analyzed in an onshore-laboratory after the HLY 2012 cruise

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Seawater samples were collected from the sampling manifold of the shipboard flow-through seawater system in 300-mL borosilicate glass biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) bottles. Samples were preserved by adding 100 microliters of a saturated solution of mercuric chloride (HgCl2) and were sealed with a ground glass stopper lightly coated with Apiezon grease. Samples were transported to the USGS Carbon Chemistry Lab in St. Petersburg, Fla. Total alkalinity samples were analyzed using an Ocean Optics USB 2000 spectrophotometer, bromol cresol purple indicator dye, and the methods of Yao and Byrne (1998). Total carbon was analyzed using coulometric methods of Dickson and others (2007). Precision and accuracy for these methods was 1 micromole/kg for TA and TCO2.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

The QA/QC process looked for internal inconsistencies in the data by taking the results calculated using CO2SYS and comparing them with the collected data.

Instruments

Pump - Surface Underway Ship Intake

Supplied Name: pump-ship intake

Supplied Description:

Samples were numbered incrementally throughout the duration cruises. A "surface" prefix indicates a sample taken from the ship's flow-through system.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Pump - Surface Underway Ship Intake

Acronym: Pump-Ship Intake

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/31/

Generic Description:

The 'Pump-underway ship intake' system indicates that samples are from the ship's clean water intake pump. This is essentially a surface water sample from a source of uncontaminated near-surface (commonly 3 to 7 m) seawater that can be pumped continuously to shipboard laboratories on research vessels. There is typically a temperature sensor near the intake (known as the hull temperature) to provide measurements that are as close as possible to the ambient water temperature. The flow from the supply is typically directed through continuously logged sensors such as a thermosalinograph and a fluorometer. Water samples are often collected from the underway supply that may also be referred to as the non-toxic supply. Ideally the data contributor has specified the depth in the ship's hull at which the pump is mounted.

Sea-Bird SBE 45 MicroTSG Thermosalinograph

Supplied Name: SBE 45 MicroTSG

Supplied Description:

Salt content in Practical Salinity Units measured using the USCGC Healy's SBE45 instrument

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE 45 MicroTSG Thermosalinograph

Acronym: SBE 45 MicroTSG

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0190/

Generic Description:

A small externally powered, high-accuracy instrument, designed for shipboard determination of sea surface (pumped-water) conductivity and temperature. It is constructed of plastic and titanium to ensure long life with minimum maintenance. It may optionally be interfaced to an external SBE 38 hull temperature sensor.

Sea-Bird SBE-3 Temperature Sensor

Supplied Name: SBE-3 Temperature

Supplied Description:

Seawater Surface Temperature degrees Celsius measured using the USCGC Healy's SBE3 remote temperature probe. This value is the sea surface temperature

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE-3 Temperature Sensor

Acronym: SBE-3 Temperature

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/134/

Generic Description:

The SBE-3 is a slow response, frequency output temperature sensor manufactured by Sea-Bird Electronics, Inc. (Bellevue, Washington, USA). It has an initial accuracy of +/- 0.001 degrees Celsius with a stability of +/- 0.002 degrees Celsius per year and measures seawater temperature in the range of -5.0 to +35 degrees Celsius. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

Spectrophotometer

Supplied Name: Ocean Optics USB 2000 spectrophotometer

Supplied Description:

Samples were transported to the USGS Carbon Chemistry Lab in St. Petersburg, Fla. Total alkalinity samples were analyzed using an Ocean Optics USB 2000 spectrophotometer, bromol cresol purple indicator dye, and the methods of Yao and Byrne (1998).

Ocean Optics USB 2000 spectrophotometer

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Spectrophotometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB20/

Generic Description:

An instrument used to measure the relative absorption of electromagnetic radiation of different wavelengths in the near infra-red, visible and ultraviolet wavebands by samples.
