Sampling and Analytical Methodology:

Total CO2:
The analysis was done at sea with a Marianda Automated Infra Red Inorganic Carbon Analyzer (AIRICA) couple with a LI-COR LI-7000 CO2/H2O Gas Analyzer. The samples were standardized using Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) provided by Dr. A. Dickson of Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Each 250 mL sample was poisoned with 0.2 mL of mercuric chloride. CRM batch numbers and correction magnitude:
119 (2014.78 ± 0.79 µmol kg-1)
Method Reference: Mathis et al., 2010; Dickson et al. 2007. Bates et al., 2001
Whole cruise CRM values varied by ± 1.85 µmol kg-1

Alkalinity:
Alkalinity was measured by an open cell, high precision potentiometric titration on a VINDTA instrument with a 250 mL sample. CRM Scale: Batch 119 (2014.78 ± 0.79 µmol kg-1). Whole cruise CRM values varied by ± 5.04 µmol kg-1. Method References: Mathis et al., 2010; Dickson et al. 2007. Bates et al., 2001
