Methods & Sampling

Water samples were collected using a 12 x 10-liter Niskin bottle rosette sampler equipped with a conductivity, temperature, and pressure instrument package (SBE9, Sea-Bird Electronics, Bellevue, Washington, U.S.A.), a sensor for dissolved oxygen (SBE43, Sea-Bird), and a sensor for chlorophyll fluorescence (FluoroWetlabECO, AFL FL Sensor). NH4, NO2, and urea were measured on board immediately after sample collection. NO3 was assayed in the home laboratory on samples stored frozen at the time of collection.

Instruments

Chemiluminescence NOx Analyzer

Supplied Name: Teledyne Chemiluminescence NO/NOx Analyzer (Model 200E)

Supplied Description:

Used to measure NO3

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Chemiluminescence NOx Analyzer

Generic Description:

The chemiluminescence method for gas analysis of oxides of nitrogen relies on the measurement of light produced by the gas-phase titration of nitric oxide and ozone. A chemiluminescence analyzer can measure the concentration of NO/NO2/NOX.

One example is the Teledyne Model T200: https://www.teledyne-api.com/products/nitrogen-compound-instruments/t200

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name: 10-liter Niskin bottle rosette

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.

Turner Designs Trilogy fluorometer

Supplied Name: Turner Designs Trilogy Fluorometer

Supplied Description:

Used to measure NH4

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Turner Designs Trilogy fluorometer

Acronym: Turner Trilogy

Generic Description:

The Trilogy Laboratory Fluorometer is a compact laboratory instrument for making fluorescence, absorbance, and turbidity measurements using the appropriate snap-in application module. Fluorescence modules are available for discrete sample measurements of various fluorescent materials including chlorophyll (in vivo and extracted), rhodamine, fluorescein, cyanobacteria pigments, ammonium, CDOM, optical brighteners, and other fluorescent compounds.

UV Spectrophotometer-Shimadzu

Supplied Name: UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-2450, Shimadzu, Japan)

Supplied Description:

Used to measure NO2 and urea

Instrument Type

Generic Name: UV Spectrophotometer-Shimadzu

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

Generic Description:

The Shimadzu UV Spectrophotometer is manufactured by Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (ssi.shimadzu.com). Shimadzu manufacturers several models of spectrophotometer; refer to dataset for make/model information.
