Dataset ID: MRI underway DIC measurements


DIC measurement: To establish an identical DIC concentration scale among cruises and laboratories, we also analyzed DIC in the Certified Reference Material (CRM) provided by Dr. A. G. Dickson of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (http://www.mpl.ucsd.edu/people/adickson/CO2_QC/index.html) and in reference seawaters we prepared from western North Pacific oligotrophic water by a similar method to that of Dickson, Unesco Technical Papers in Marine Science 60, pp. 34-38, 1991. The concentration of DIC in our reference seawaters and their homogeneity and stability have been determined by occasional calibrations with suites of sodium carbonate solutions prepared with primary-standard-grade sodium carbonate powder and purified water such as those prepared by Milli SP-TOC, and concurrent analyses of the CRM (Ishii et al., 2000). The analytical results of CRM based on our calibration with sodium carbonate solutions usually agreed with their certified values within +/-1.5 umol kg-1, but sometimes exceeded +/-3.0 umol kg-1. The systematic errors in our calibrations were corrected if they were statistically significant. During the underway measurements and series of discrete samples analyses, we also analyzed CRM or our reference seawater typically at least twice during the each run of the coulometric cathode- and anode-solution. The precision (+/-1sigma) of analysis estimated for each cruise ranged between +/-1.0 and +/-2.1 umol kg-1.

TA calculation: Total alkalinity was calculated from the data of DIC, pCO2sw, temperature and salinity that have been concurrently measured using the dissociation constants of carbonic acid given by Roy et al., Marine Chemistry 44, 249-268, 1993, and solubility of CO2 given by Weiss, Marine Chemistry 2, 203-215,1974.
