project/cruise: AESOPS/RR_KIWI_6, APFZ Polar Front Survey 1
ship: R/V Roger A. Revelle
Methodology:
Samples that had been frozen in liquid nitrogen were extracted as described
previously (Goericke and Repeta, 1993, MEPS 101: 307 - 313).
Pigment extracts were analyzed on the reverse phase HPLC system described
below. Pigments were detected by absorbance at 440nm. The identity of
pigments was confirmed by frequently checking on-line spectra against those
of standards.
