Dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, water temperature, salinity and other variables collected from surface discrete observations using flow through pump and other instruments during NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow cruise HB1103_Leg2 (EXPOCODE 33HH20110604), in the North Atlantic ocean from 2011-06-29 to 2011-07-14 (NCEI Accession 0240019)

This dataset contains surface discrete measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, water temperature, salinity and other variables collected from surface discrete observations using flow through pump and other instruments during the NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow cruise HB1103_Leg2 (EXPOCODE 33HH20110604), in the North Atlantic ocean from 2011-06-29 to 2011-07-14. Increasing amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide from human industrial activities are causing changes in global ocean carbon chemistry. Through the SOOP program we measure air and ocean surface pCO2 and take discrete samples of other carbon parameters. This effort is in support of the coastal monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) and the Climate Program Office.

  • Parameter or Variable: Dissolved Inorganic Carbon; Abbreviation: DIC; Unit: micro-mol/kg; Observation type: Surface discrete measurement (flow through); In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation; Measured or calculated: Measured; Sampling instrument: flow through system; Analyzing instrument: Coulometer used: AOML2 (SOMMA #2); Detailed sampling and analyzing information: The discrete samples were collected by Reuben Darlington from a metering ball valve next to the underway pCO2 instrument. The underway pCO2 instrument was located in the bow thruster space next to the TSG and a short distance from the inlet pump. The sea water takes less than 10 seconds to travel from the inlet to the instruments. The TSG temperature is believed to be no more than 0.15 degrees C warmer than in-situ SST. The date and time listed in the data file are UTC when each sample bottle was collected. DIC: Analysis date: August 15, 2011 Coulometer used: AOML2 Blank: 30 counts/min CRM # used and assigned value (include both DIC and salinity): Batch 85, c: 2000.4 umol/kg, S: 33.326 CRM value measured: AOML 2: offset 1.0 umol/kg (2001.4 umol/kg). Average run time, minimum run time, maximum run time: 9 min, 8 min, 13 min Reproducibility: (# samples and average difference): 5 sets of duplicate samples, average difference 1.5 umol/kg CRM, salinity and HgCl2 correction applied: Salinity correction was applied using TSG salinity Remarks- The volume correction was applied due to added HgCl2 (Measured DIC*1.00037). The first CRM of each cell was used for a CRM correction. DIC Apollo: Analysis date: 08/25/2011 to 08/27/2011 System used: Apollo SciTech CRM # used and assigned value (include both DIC and salinity): Meas CRM cert CRM Salinity batch 1991.57 2000.44 33.326 85 1989.53 2000.44 33.326 85 2012.12 2000.44 33.326 85 CRM value measured: CRM measured at start and end of run. Injection mode used: single injection. Criteria used: 3 values within 0.1% of each other. Reproducibility: (# samples and average difference): 4 sets of duplicate samples, (duplicate samples 82 and 83 are discarded because of issues with sample 83), average difference 2.9 umol/kg ± 3.8 umol/kg. CRM, correction applied: CRMs ran at start and end of analyses were used to correct drift in the system. Remarks- The results posted are duplicate analyses from the same DIC sample bottles analyzed previously with the SOMMA. Sample 99 had to be analyzed several times due to issues with the system (time out measurements). The value kept corresponds to the last analysis done, which had no time out measurements but which was done the following day. This sample has been flagged 3.; CRM manufacturer: Dr. A. Dickson of UCSD; CRM batch number: Batch 82 and 83; Preservation method: saturated HgCl2; Preservative volume: 0.2 ml; Quality flag convention: WOCE quality control flags are used: 2 = good value, 3 = questionable value, 4 = bad value, 5 = value not reported, 6 = mean of replicate measurements, 9 = sample not drawn.; Researcher name: Rik Wanninkhof, Leticia Barbero; Researcher institution: Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
