©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Dissolved, inorganic nutrient concentrations and stable isotope measurements of particulate nitrogen and carbon collected from the ship's Underway system while transiting between stations.
The ship’s Underway system was equipped with an in-line Seabird thermosalinograph to collect sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salinity (SSS) data from 5-7m below sea surface.
Nutrient samples were run at sea using a Lachat QuickChem 8000 flow-injection analyzer equipped with the following methods:
Phosphate 31-115-01-1-I
Silicate 31-114-27-1-B
Nitrate+Nitrite 31-107-04-1-A
Nitrite 31-107-05-1-A
Particle (particulate N and C) samples for stable isotope (d15N, d13C) were collected and analyzed following methods in Montoya et al. 2002.
