Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

In situ measurements of superoxide were made with a superoxide sensor, SOLARIS, which has been previously described in detail in Taenzer et al., 2022. Superoxide is quantified using a chemiluminescent method where seawater is drawn in and combines with the chemiluminescent probe methyl Cypridina luciferin analog (MCLA) in a mixing cell. MCLA reacts specifically with superoxide, and the light that is produced is quantified by a photomultiplier. Data are collected at the frequency of 2 Hz, as raw counts.

Temperature, oxygen, salinity, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), fluorescence, and turbidity were measured by a standard CTD package and associated rosette mounted sensors (Seabird 9/11+).

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Superoxide data was depth-corrected using the descent speed of the CTD to account for the lag between when the water originally is drawn into the sampling wand and when it reaches the flow cell.

CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

CTD package and associated rosette mounted sensors (Seabird 9/11+).

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
