Description

Phosphate (PO4) and Silicate (SiOH4) concentrations in uM from 3 POWOW cruises (TN277, KM1301, and KM1312). Samples that had a mean concentration (mean of replicated samples) below the nominal detection limit are reported as zero.

Methods & Sampling

Water for later nutrient analysis was sampled in duplicate into HCl-cleaned HDPE bottles (VWR#414004-110) and stored at -80 degrees C until later analysis using an Astoria-Pacific A2 autoanalyzer following the manufacturer's recommended protocols running each replicate sample in duplicate. Certified reference materials were used to verify protocols (Inorganic Ventures: QCP-NT, QCP-NUT-1, CGSI1-1). The detection limits are as follows:
The detection limit of PO4 was 0.05 uM for samples from all 3 cruises.
The detection limit of SiOH4 was 0.2 uM for samples from POWOW1 and POWOW2 cruises.
The detection limit of SiOH4 was 0.1 uM for samples from POWOW3 cruise.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO edits made:
- Parameter names have been changed to conform to BCO-DMO conventions.
- month_utc, day_utc, year, and time_utc were added, based on the original ISO_DateTime_UTC field.
- Rosette bottle numbers were added from the CTD cast sheets for POWOW1.
- Changed latitude of POWOW3 cast CTD028 to value on cast sheet.
- 'NaN' was replaced with 'nd' to indicate 'no data'.

Instruments

Niskin bottle

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Niskin bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0412/

Generic Description:

A Niskin bottle (a next generation water sampler based on the Nansen bottle) is a cylindrical, non-metallic water collection device with stoppers at both ends. The bottles can be attached individually on a hydrowire or deployed in 12, 24, or 36 bottle Rosette systems mounted on a frame and combined with a CTD. Niskin bottles are used to collect discrete water samples for a range of measurements including pigments, nutrients, plankton, etc.

Nutrient Autoanalyzer

Supplied Description:

Nutrients were analyzed using an Astoria-Pacific A2 autoanalyzer following the manufacturer’s recommended protocols.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Nutrient Autoanalyzer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB04/

Generic Description:

Nutrient Autoanalyzer is a generic term used when specific type, make and model were not specified. In general, a Nutrient Autoanalyzer is an automated flow-thru system for doing nutrient analysis (nitrate, ammonium, orthophosphate, and silicate) on seawater samples.

Parameters

Date and time formats are described in python strftime() syntax.
