Title: Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) measurements from R/V Thomas G. Thompson cruise TN303 in the Eastern Tropical Pacific in 2013 (U.S. GEOTRACES EPZT project) (NCEI Accession 0278317)
Abstract: This dataset contains chemical and physical data collected on R/V Thomas G. Thompson during cruise TN303 in the South Pacific Ocean from 2013-10-29 to 2013-12-16. These data include depth, dissolved organic Carbon, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, water pressure, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Niskin bottle and Shimadzu TOC-V Analyzer. These data were collected by Craig Carlson of University of California-Santa Barbara as part of the "GEOTRACES: Suspended particle geochemistry along the US GEOTRACES Eastern Pacific Zonal Transect, from high productivity ocean margin to deep sea hydrothermal plume (GEOTRACES EPZT Suspended Particles)" and "U.S. GEOTRACES East Pacific Zonal Transect (U.S. GEOTRACES EPZT)" projects and "U.S. GEOTRACES (U.S. GEOTRACES)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-09-03.

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
All descriptions of sampling and analytical methodology, details of quality assurance and control procedures, and precision and accuracy of methods used are included in Carlson et al. (2010).

Briefly:
DOC samples were collected by a CTD rosette equipped with Niskin bottles. All samples were passed through an inline polycarbonate filter cartridge holding a combusted GF/F filter attached directly to the Niskin bottle via silicone tubing. Water was dripped directly into high-density polyethylene bottles that had been acid leached, flushed with Nanopure water and dried prior to each cruise. The samples were stored frozen at -20 degrees C until analysis at UCSB.
