Additional hydrocasts were performed for specific process studies. We conducted separate shallow and deep casts to obtain better vertical resolution for chemical observations, and for productivity and pigment observations. Water was collected with a SeaBird rosette equipped with 12 (8 liter) teflon-coated Niskin bottles (bottle springs were also teflon-coated) at 20 depths between the surface and 1310 m. The rosette housed the CTD, which collected continuous profiles of temperature and salinity. The CTD also had a SBE-43 oxygen probe, a Wetlabs ECO fluorometer outfitted for chlorophyll-a estimates, and a C-Star transmissometer (660 nm, Wetlabs). Beam attenuation measurements were added to the time series on its 11th cruise (November 1986) originally using a SeaTech transmissometer. The rosette was controlled with a SeaBird deck unit via conducting cable, but alternatively it had been actuated automatically based on pressure recordings via an Autofire Module (SBE AFM) when breaks in cable conductivity had occurred. Between November 1995 and September 1996, three separate SBE-19 CTDs were used in repeated casts until a reliable salinity profile was obtained below the oxycline. The SBE-19 model CTDs frequently failed to provide reliable conductivity values below the oxycline in the Cariaco Basin. Starting in September 1996, the SBE-19 CTDs were replaced by SBE-25 CTDs, which provided extremely accurate and reliable data in anoxic waters. \u00a0 All CTDs were calibrated at the Sea-Bird factory once per year. The accuracy of the pressure sensor was 3.5 m and had a resolution of 0.7 m. The temperatures accuracy was 0.002\u00b0C with a resolution of 0.0003\u00b0C. The conductivity accuracy was 0.003 mmho/cm with a resolution of 0.0004 mmho/cm. \u00a0 Salinity Continuous salinity profiles were calculated from the CTD measurements. Discrete salinity samples were analyzed using a Guildline Portasal 8410 salinometer standardized with IAPSO Standard Seawater, with a precision of better than \u00b1 0.003 and a resolution of 0.0003 mS/cm at 15\u00b0 C and 35 psu, the accuracy was \u00b10.003 at the same set point temperature as standardization and within -2\u00b0 and +4\u00b0C of ambient. These salinity values were used to check, and when necessary calibrate, the CTD salinity profiles. \u00a0 Discrete Oxygen Continuous dissolved oxygen (O2) profiles were obtained with a SBE-43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor coupled to the SBE-25 CTD. Discrete oxygen samples were collected in duplicate using glass-stoppered bottles and analyzed by Winkler titration (Strickland and Parsons, 1972, as modified by Aminot, 1983). The analytical precision for discrete oxygen analysis was \u00b13 mM, based on analysis of duplicate samples, with a detection limit of 5 mM. \u00a0 Nutrients Since CAR-072 (November 2001) all samples had been filtered through a 0.8 \u00b5m Nucleopore filter within minutes of collection, as recommended by the JGOFS protocol, and frozen in plastic bottles until analysis at the University of South Florida (USF). Previous to November 2001, nutrients were filtered through a 0.7 \u00b5m GF/F filter before freezing. This data was still considered reliable, as tests using glass fiber filters show no significant contamination. The analyses follow the standard techniques described by Strickland and Parsons (1972). USF follows the recommendations of Gordon et al. (1993) for the WOCE WHP project for nutrient analysis. \u00a0 Since CAR-069 (August 2001) all silica samples were kept unfrozen; they were refrigerated and kept in the dark. Prior to CAR-069, silicates were frozen and those exhibiting high concentration of silica (> 40\u00b5M below 300m in CARIACO) were affected by polymerization. All deep samples that were frozen showed low values due to polymerization loss, except CAR-063 and CAR-068 which showed high values. CAR-069 was analyzed by Yrene Astor at EDIMAR from the separate unfrozen bottlesand at USF from other, frozen, bottles. Unfrozen CAR-069 resulted higher with deep values close to what was expected (e.g. \u223c92\u00b5M at 1310m). \u00a0 Detection limits for CARIACO nutrient analysis The limits below were determined by calculating the concentrations in triplicate standards, averaging the results within each triplicate group, calculating the standard deviation for each group, averaging the standard deviations, and finally doubling the averages to get the detection limits. These samples were analyzed on an ALPKEM RFA II. Subsequent Cariaco analyses were performed on a Technicon Analyzer II Nutrient Type | ALPKEM RFA II | Technicon Analyzer II ---|---|--- Detection limits | Errors of analysis | Detection limits PO4 Phosphate | 0.03 \u00b5mol | <0.01 \u00b5M | 0.02 \u00b5M Si(OH)4 Silica | 0.14 \u00b5mol | 0.2 \u00b5M | 0.4 \u00b5M NO3 Nitrate | 0.06 \u00b5mol | 0.02 \u00b5M | 0.04 \u00b5M NO2 Nitrite | 0.02 \u00b5mol | <0.01 \u00b5M | 0.01 \u00b5M NH4 Ammonium | 0.07 \u00b5mol | 0.05 \u00b5M | 0.1 \u00b5M \u00a0 Primary Production Primary productivity measurements were made using a modified Steeman Nielsen (1952) NaH14CO3 uptake assay. The productivity measurements consisted of in situ incubations of water collected at 8 depths and inoculated with 14C- labeled bicarbonate. One hour before sunrise, a shallow cast was performed to obtain water from 1, 7, 15, 25, 35, 55, 75, and 100 meters. As the productivity cast was taken, a Licor Photosynthetically-Active Radiation (PAR) integrator, placed high above the ship's bridge, was activated. Water was poured directly from the Niskin bottle under low light conditions into 250 ml clear polycarbonate bottles. These bottles had been previously acid-washed, rinsed, and soaked in de-ionized water for over 48 hours. Bottles were rinsed three times before filling, a near total fill (the volume within the bottles was actually 290 ml of sea water). Four clear polycarbonate bottles were filled from each depth. We wrap one inoculated bottle from each depth in aluminum foil to obtain the dark 14-C uptake rates. An extra bottle for 1, 15, 35, and 75 m was filled, but not inoculated, to provide time-zero (t0) filter and seawater blanks. The t0 samples were kept in the dark in the laboratory and were filtered after deploying the floating incubation buoy. \u00a0 We inoculated each sample under low light conditions with 1,000 ml (4 mCi) of the 14C sodium bicarbonate working solution. A 200 ml aliquot for counting total added 14C activity was removed from one of the 3 bottles from each depth and placed in a 20 ml glass scintillation vial containing 250 ml ethanolamine. The mixture was held at 5\u00b0C until subsequent liquid scintillation analysis on shore. We also placed 50 ml of the 14C working solution in a vial with ethanolamine (250 ml) for reference counting. \u00a0 The dark bottle and 3 light bottles were hooked together with a combination of plastic tie wraps and nylon cord, and kept in the dark while preparations were made for deployment of the productivity incubation float. At approximately 07:00 hours, the productivity array was deployed. The entire productivity ensemble was attached to a buoy equipped with a flag and radar reflector. \u00a0 Productivity observations were initiated on December 1995. Between December 1995 and November 1996, we incubated samples from 06:00 to 10:00 hours. Starting December 1996, we changed our protocol to incubate between 07:00 and 11:00 hours. This more accurately represents 1/3 of the daily photoperiod and 1/3 of the total energy received in one day on a year-round basis at 10\u00b030'N, as verified with the PAR light sensor. \u00a0 Approximately 4 hours after deployment, the productivity array was recovered. We decided to use 4-hour incubation periods due to the potentially high productivity (>1,000 mg/(m\u00b2d)) of this continental margin. Sample bottles were detached from the line and placed in labeled, dark plastic bags until filtration. Time and position of recovery were recorded. Maintaining low light conditions, a 50 ml aliquot was withdrawn from each productivity bottle using a 50 ml plastic syringe. This aliquot was filtered onto a 25 mm Whatman GF/F glass fiber filter, maintaining vacuum levels of \u223c1/3 atm. The filter was rinsed with 0.25 ml 0.5 N HCl, and placed in a 20 ml glass scintillation vial, covered, and held at 5\u00b0C until subsequent processing on shore. At the shore laboratory, immediately upon return and within 15 hours of sample collection, 10 ml of liquid scintillation cocktail were added to the vials with the filters. These vials were refrigerated until they were ready for analysis on a BetaScout (PerkinElmer)scintillation counter. \u00a0 Carbon uptake calculations followed the standard formulation outlined in the JGOFS manual (UNESCO, 1994), taking into consideration a (very low) quenching curve. Specifically, we subtracted the blank from all bottles, and then subtracted the dark bottle uptake from the average uptake in the light bottles to correct for non-photoautotrophic carbon fixation or absorption. Dark uptake values had always been very low. A scaling factor (\u223c3) was applied to convert the hourly production value to a \"daily mean hourly average\". This factor varies slightly, as it was based on the fraction of the energy received during the incubation period relative to the total energy received in a day. Daily rates were derived by multiplying the hourly rate by 12. Gieskes and Van Bennekom (1973), Peterson (1980), and Carpenter and Lively (1980) review the historical background, problems, and assumptions involved in the application of the radiocarbon technique to aquatic productivity. Muller-Karger (1984) also summarizes the technique and corrections involved. \u00a0 pH and Alkalinity pH samples were collected directly in 10-cm cells and analyzed on board. We measured pH and total Alkalinity estimates using the precise spectrophotometric dye methods developed by Robert-Baldo et al. (1985), Byrne and Breland (1989), and which we modified from Clayton and Byrne (1993) and Breland and Byrne (1993). These methods circumvent the problem that arises when potentiometric electrodes were transferred from dilute buffers to sea water samples due to the sample's high ionic strength. All the pH values were reported in the Master file for CARIACO data at 25 \u2103 to avoid the effects of temperature on the solution chemistry. Measurement analytical precision for pHT at 25\u00b0C (total_hydrogen_ion_scale) = \u00b10.003, and for Total_alkalinity (mmol/kg), the precision is = 5 mmol/kg.\u00a0 \u00a0 Corrections of pH for dye indicator impurities: The pH method uses the dye meta-cresol purple (mCP) as the pH indicator. The mCP dye used in CARIACO was in its unpurified form. Impurities in the indicator dye may cause uncertainty in measured pH values (Yao et al., 2007). Unpurified forms of the dye absorb significantly at the wavelength of maximum absorption for the acid species, HI- (434 nm) (Liu et al., 2011). The ratio of indicator absorbance at wavelengths 578 (base specie, I2-) and 434 (R = A578/A434) is used to calculate pH. Therefore, the effect of the impurities translates into apparent lower pH calculated values, especially at surface waters where pH > 8.0 (Yao et al., 2007). The effect of the impurities varies from one indicator manufacturer to another, and from different batches of the same manufacturer (Yao et al., 2007). Fortunately, the indicator used for the whole dataset in CARIACO came from the same batch. Hence, a correction for mCP impurities was applied following the method developed by Douglas and Byrne (2017) to each set of data for each cruise. This correction translated to ~ -0.01 units at pH ~ 8.1, decreasing to ~ - 0.008 units at pH ~ 7.6. The corrections were applied to the whole dataset, and values for DIC and fCO2 were recalculated in the Master file. All the pH values were reported in the Master file for CARIACO data at 25 \u2103 to avoid the effects of temperature on the solution chemistry.\u00a0 \u00a0 Chlorophyll Chlorophyll sample collection and storage: water samples were collected from Niskin bottles into 1 L dark polyethylene bottles. These samples were immediately filtered through 25 mm Whatman GF/F filters using a vacuum of less than 100 mm Hg. During the upwelling season (approx. January-May) we filtered 250 ml seawater, and during the rest of the year we filtered 500 ml. Three replicates were taken per depth during the upwelling season, but only two were collected when biomass was obviously at its minimum, during the non-upwelling season. Filters were folded in half twice and placed in glass centrifuge tubes, labeled and frozen. Storage time was kept as short as possible (less than a week) before measurement. \u00a0 Chlorophyll procedure: after removal from the freezer, the filters were extracted in 10 ml of methanol. The samples were allowed to extract for 24 hours in the refrigerator. Following extraction, samples were centrifuged for 20 minutes to remove debris. The fluorometer (Turner fluorometer model 10-AU-005) was allowed to warm up and stabilize for 30 minutes prior to use. Pure methanol was measured to confirm the zero position. Samples were transferred to 1-cm cells and they were measured directly into the fluorometer (Fo). 100 \u00b5l of 0.48N HCl was added to each cell. A second reading was taken from the fluorometer for each cell (Fa). Standardization. The fluorometer was calibrated every year with a commercially available chlorophyll a standard (\u03a3). The concentration of chlorophyll-an and phaeopigments in the sample were calculated using Yentsh and Menzel (1963) equation, with a specific absorption coefficient of 74.5 (chlorophyll in methanol). \u00a0 HPLC HPLC analysis was restarted in July 2006 (CAR-123). Samples were filtered 47 mm Whatman GF/F filters at 8 depths (1, 7, 15, 25, 35, 55, 75 and 100m). The volume filtered depends on the amount of particles in the water. Replicates were taken at the 1m depth. Filters were stored in aluminum envelopes and stored in the fridge until reaching shore. Once on shore, samples were stored at -40\u00b0C until transportation to the US. Horn Point Laboratory ([http://www.hpl.umces.edu/](\\"http://www.hpl.umces.edu/\\")) performs the analyses through a collaborative agreement with NASA. The method used was Van Heukelem and Thomas (2001).\u00a0 \u00a0 POC and PON POC and PON sample collection and storage: water samples were collected from Niskin bottles into 2 L dark polyethylene bottles. These samples were immediately filtered through 25 mm Whatman GF/F filters (precombusted for 5 hours at 450\u00b0C) using a vacuum of less than 100 mm Hg. Since July 2007 (CAR-135) filters were acidified (10% HCl) after combustion and prior to sample collection. A portion of these filters was used for POP analysis (see below). Filters were placed on expendable tin disks and then into aluminum foil envelops (also precombusted for 5 hours at 450\u00b0C) labeled and frozen. In the laboratory, filters were dried at 65\u00b0C for 12-15 hours then stored with silica gel. Measurement: The filters were folded inside a tin disk and analyzed on a Perkin Elmer 2400 Elemental Analyzer. The samples were combusted at 1200-1300\u00b0C and then passed through a reduction tube to removes the oxygen added to raise the combustion temperature. Filers were not acid fumed prior to analysis. The C and N were then separated in a chromatographic column and were measured on a Thermal Conductivity Detector. Carbon and nitrogen standards, and blank filters were used to calibrate the data. The accuracy of the instrument was <0.3% and the precision of the instrument was <0.2%. These were published values and we find that we were always within these limits (usually \u00b10.15% for carbon and \u00b10.1% for nitrogen). We ran cystine as our standard (29.99% Carbon, 11.66% Nitrogen). The analytical range of the instrument is: Carbon= .001 to 3.6 mg and Nitrogen= 0.001 to 6.0 mg. \u00a0 POP POP was analyzed from the same POC/PON filters. The method used for the SRP analysis was based on Koroleff (1983). \u00a0 Dissolved organic Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorous (DOC, DON and DOP) Measurements of DOC were taken since the beginning of the project in November 1995 but suspended in February 2001 (CAR-062) due to irregularity of results. DOC was reinitiated in March 2005 (CAR-110) using a new protocol. DOC samples were collected monthly and analyzed at the Organic Biogeochemistry Lab in the Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami. Samples were gravity-filtered directly from the Niskin bottles through 45 mm GF/F precombusted filters using acid cleaned polycarbonate in-line filter holder. Immediately after filtration the polyethylene bottles were frozen at -20\u00b0C until analysis. \u00a0 DON and DOP measurements were added to the regular CARIACO cruises in July 2004 (CAR-101). Samples were filtered through GF/F filters using a specially built vacuum filter rack. The DON method was based on Solorzano and Sharp (1980). This procedure produces a filtered seawater sample for analysis of total dissolved fixed nitrogen (=nitrate + nitrite + ammonium + DON). DON concentration was obtained by difference from nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium measured in the standard nutrient protocol. DOP was analyzed in the same persulfate-oxidized filtrate solution as DON. That solution yields total inorganic phosphate concentration, which was composed of the inorganic phosphate concentration originally in the seawater, plus an additional phosphate concentration due to the conversion of DOP to phosphate. DOP concentration was then obtained by difference from the inorganic phosphate in the unoxidized sample measured through the standard nutrient protocol. \u00a0 Optical measurements In-water measurements: a PRR-600 (Biospherical) was used to retrieve downwelling irradiance and upwelling radiance. From these, PAR, Kd and reflectance can be calculated. Beam attenuation coefficient (Cp) was measured using a C-Star transmissometer (see section Hydrocasts: CTD and Rosette Sample), which provides measurements at 660 nm throughout the entire water column. \u00a0 CDOM samples were measured at four depths (1m, 15m, 25m, 50m) by filtration through a 0.2 \u00b5m pore size filter and immediately frozen at -20\u00b0C. Before being analyzed, they were thawed and re-filtered to eliminate any salt crystals that may had formed. CDOM was measured between 200 and 800 nm, with a 0.3 nm interval, using a dual fiber optic spectrometer (Ocean Optics) equipped with 10-cm quartz cuvettes and distilled water as a blank. \u00a0 Above water measurements: a PR-650 (Photoresearch) measures sky radiance (Ls), water leaving radiance (Lw) and total irradiance (Es) at an angle of 30\u00b0. From these measurements, remote sensing reflectance (Rrs = Lw/Es) can be calculated and used in satellite sensor (such as MODIS and SeaWiFS) calibration. \u00a0 Methods compiled by John Akl, July 2002.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	instruments_2_dataset_instrument_nid	String	769952
attribute	NC_GLOBAL	instruments_2_description	String	The Sea-Bird SBE 25 SEALOGGER CTD is battery powered and is typically used to record data in memory, eliminating the need for a large vessel, electrical sea cable, and on-board computer. All SBE 25s can also operate in real-time, transmitting data via an opto-isolated RS-232 serial port. Temperature and conductivity are measured by the SBE 3F Temperature sensor and SBE 4 Conductivity sensor (same as those used on the premium SBE 9plus CTD). The SBE 25 also includes the SBE 5P (plastic) or 5T (titanium) Submersible Pump and TC Duct. The pump-controlled, TC-ducted flow configuration significantly reduces salinity spiking caused by ship heave, and in calm waters allows slower descent rates for improved resolution of water column features. Pressure is measured by the modular SBE 29 Temperature Compensated Strain-Gauge Pressure sensor (available in eight depth ranges to suit the operating depth requirement). The SBE 25's modular design makes it easy to configure in the field for a wide range of auxiliary sensors, including optional dissolved oxygen (SBE 43), pH (SBE 18 or SBE 27), fluorescence, transmissivity, PAR, and optical backscatter sensors.

The fluorometer (Turner fluorometer model 10-AU-005) was allowed to warm up and stabilize for 30 minutes prior to use. Pure methanol was measured to confirm the zero position. Samples were transferred to 1-cm cells and they were measured directly into the fluorometer (Fo). 100 µl of 0.48N HCl was added to each cell. A second reading was taken from the fluorometer for each cell (Fa). Standardization. The fluorometer was calibrated every year with a commercially available chlorophyll a standard (Σ). The concentration of chlorophyll-an and phaeopigments in the sample were calculated using Yentsh and Menzel (1963) equation, with a specific absorption coefficient of 74.5 (chlorophyll in methanol).

HPLC instruments consist of a reservoir of the mobile phase, a pump, an injector, a separation column, and a detector. Compounds are separated by high pressure pumping of the sample mixture onto a column packed with microspheres coated with the stationary phase. The different components in the mixture pass through the column at different rates due to differences in their partitioning behavior between the mobile liquid phase and the stationary phase.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	projects_0_description	String	Since 1995, the CARIACO Ocean Time-Series (formerly known as the CArbon Retention In A Colored Ocean) Program has studied the relationship between surface primary production, physical forcing variables like the wind, and the settling flux of particulate carbon in the Cariaco Basin. This depression, located on the continental shelf of Venezuela (Map), shows marked seasonal and interannual variation in hydrographic properties and primary production (carbon fixation rates by photosynthesis of planktonic algae). This peculiar basin is anoxic below ~250 m, due its restricted circulation and high primary production (Muller-Karger et al., 2001). CARIACO observations show annual primary production rates exceed 500 gC/m2y, of which over 15-20% can be accounted for by events lasting one month or less. Such events are observed in other locations where time series observations are collected, and suggest that prior estimates of regional production based on limited sampling may have been underestimated. The annual primary production rates in the Cariaco Basin are comparable to rates estimated using time series observations for Monterey Bay (460 gC/m2y; Chavez, 1996), and higher than previous rates estimated for Georges Bank, the New York Shelf, and the Oregon Shelf (380, 300, and 190 gC/m2y, respectively; Walsh, 1988). The Cariaco Basin has long been the center of attention of scientists trying to explain paleoclimate. Due to its high rates of sedimentation (30 to >100 cm/ky; Peterson et al., 2000) and excellent preservation, the varved sediments of the Cariaco Basin offer the opportunity to study high resolution paleoclimate and better understand the role of the tropics in global climate change ( Black et al., 1999; Peterson et al., 2000; Haug et al., 2001; Black et al., 2004; Hughen et al., 2004 ). Now, the CARIACO program provides a link between the sediment record and processes near the surface of the ocean. Sediment traps maintained by the CARIACO program show that over 5% of autochtonous material reaches 275 m depth, and that nearly 2% reaches 1,400 m. The significance of this flux is that it represents a sink for carbon and that it helps explain the record of ancient climate stored at the bottom of the Cariaco Basin.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	The CARIACO Ocean Time-Series Program (formerly known as CArbon Retention In A Colored Ocean) started on November 1995 (CAR-001) and ended on January 2017 (CAR-232). Monthly cruises were conducted to the CARIACO station (10.50\u00b0 N, 64.67\u00b0 W) onboard the R/V Hermano Gin\u00e9s of the Fundaci\u00f3n La Salle de Ciencias Naturales de Venezuela. During each cruise, a minimum of four hydrocasts were performed to collect a suite of core monthly observations. We conducted separate shallow and deep casts to obtain a better vertical resolution of in-situ Niskin-bottles samples for chemical observations, and for productivity, phytoplankton, and pigment observations.
