attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Hydrocasts: CTD and Rosette Sample\n \nDuring each cruise, a minimum of four hydrocasts were performed to collect a\nsuite of core monthly observations. Additional hydrocasts were performed for\nspecific process studies. We conducted separate shallow and deep casts to\nobtain better vertical resolution for chemical observations, and for\nproductivity and pigment observations. Water was collected with a SeaBird\nrosette equipped with 12 (8 liter) teflon-coated Niskin bottles (bottle\nsprings were also teflon-coated) at 20 depths between the surface and 1310 m.\nThe rosette housed the CTD, which collected continuous profiles of temperature\nand salinity. The CTD also had a SBE-43 oxygen probe, a Wetlabs ECO\nfluorometer outfitted for chlorophyll-a estimates, and a C-Star\ntransmissometer (660 nm, Wetlabs). Beam attenuation measurements were added to\nthe time series on its 11th cruise (November 1986) originally using a SeaTech\ntransmissometer. The rosette was controlled with a SeaBird deck unit via\nconducting cable, but alternatively it had been actuated automatically based\non pressure recordings via an Autofire Module (SBE AFM) when breaks in cable\nconductivity had occurred.\n \n Between November 1995 and September 1996, three separate SBE-19 CTDs were\nused in repeated casts until a reliable salinity profile was obtained below\nthe oxycline. The SBE-19 model CTDs frequently failed to provide reliable\nconductivity values below the oxycline in the Cariaco Basin. Starting in\nSeptember 1996, the SBE-19 CTDs were replaced by SBE-25 CTDs, which provided\nextremely accurate and reliable data in anoxic waters.  \n \\u00a0\n \nAll CTDs were calibrated at the Sea-Bird factory once per year. The accuracy\nof the pressure sensor was 3.5 m and had a resolution of 0.7 m. The\ntemperatures accuracy was 0.002\\u00b0C with a resolution of 0.0003\\u00b0C. The\nconductivity accuracy was 0.003 mmho/cm with a resolution of 0.0004 mmho/cm.  \n \\u00a0\n \nSalinity\n \nContinuous salinity profiles were calculated from the CTD measurements.\nDiscrete salinity samples were analyzed using a Guildline Portasal 8410\nsalinometer standardized with IAPSO Standard Seawater, with a precision of\nbetter than \\u00b1 0.003 and a resolution of 0.0003 mS/cm at 15\\u00b0 C and 35\npsu, the accuracy was \\u00b10.003 at the same set point temperature as\nstandardization and within -2\\u00b0 and +4\\u00b0C of ambient. These salinity\nvalues were used to check, and when necessary calibrate, the CTD salinity\nprofiles.  \n \\u00a0\n \nDiscrete Oxygen\n \nContinuous dissolved oxygen (O2) profiles were obtained with a SBE-43\nDissolved Oxygen Sensor coupled to the SBE-25 CTD. Discrete oxygen samples\nwere collected in duplicate using glass-stoppered bottles and analyzed by\nWinkler titration (Strickland and Parsons, 1972, as modified by Aminot, 1983).\nThe analytical precision for discrete oxygen analysis was \\u00b13 mM, based on\nanalysis of duplicate samples, with a detection limit of 5 mM.  \n \\u00a0\n \nNutrients\n \nSince CAR-072 (November 2001) all samples had been filtered through a 0.8\n\\u00b5m Nucleopore filter within minutes of collection, as recommended by the\nJGOFS protocol, and frozen in plastic bottles until analysis at the University\nof South Florida (USF). Previous to November 2001, nutrients were filtered\nthrough a 0.7 \\u00b5m GF/F filter before freezing. This data was still\nconsidered reliable, as tests using glass fiber filters show no significant\ncontamination. The analyses follow the standard techniques described by\nStrickland and Parsons (1972). USF follows the recommendations of Gordon et\nal. (1993) for the WOCE WHP project for nutrient analysis.  \n \\u00a0\n \nSince CAR-069 (August 2001) all silica samples were kept unfrozen; they were\nrefrigerated and kept in the dark. Prior to CAR-069, silicates were frozen and\nthose exhibiting high concentration of silica (> 40\\u00b5M below 300m in\nCARIACO) were affected by polymerization. All deep samples that were frozen\nshowed low values due to polymerization loss, except CAR-063 and CAR-068 which\nshowed high values. CAR-069 was analyzed by Yrene Astor at EDIMAR from the\nseparate unfrozen bottlesand at USF from other, frozen, bottles. Unfrozen\nCAR-069 resulted higher with deep values close to what was expected (e.g.\n\\u223c92\\u00b5M at 1310m).  \n \\u00a0\n \nDetection limits for CARIACO nutrient analysis\n \nThe limits below were determined by calculating the concentrations in\ntriplicate standards, averaging the results within each triplicate group,\ncalculating the standard deviation for each group, averaging the standard\ndeviations, and finally doubling the averages to get the detection limits.\nThese samples were analyzed on an ALPKEM RFA II. Subsequent Cariaco analyses\nwere performed on a Technicon Analyzer II\n \n  \nNutrient Type\n  |  \nALPKEM RFA II\n  |  \nTechnicon Analyzer II\n    \n---|---|---  \n \nDetection limits\n  |  \nErrors of analysis\n  |  \nDetection limits\n    \n \nPO4 Phosphate\n  |  \n0.03 \\u00b5mol\n  |  \n<0.01 \\u00b5M\n  |  \n0.02 \\u00b5M\n    \n \nSi(OH)4 Silica\n  |  \n0.14 \\u00b5mol\n  |  \n0.2 \\u00b5M\n  |  \n0.4 \\u00b5M\n    \n \nNO3 Nitrate\n  |  \n0.06 \\u00b5mol\n  |  \n0.02 \\u00b5M\n  |  \n0.04 \\u00b5M\n    \n \nNO2 Nitrite\n  |  \n0.02 \\u00b5mol\n  |  \n<0.01 \\u00b5M\n  |  \n0.01 \\u00b5M\n    \n \nNH4 Ammonium\n  |  \n0.07 \\u00b5mol\n  |  \n0.05 \\u00b5M\n  |  \n0.1 \\u00b5M\n    \n \n\\u00a0\n \nPrimary Production\n \nPrimary productivity measurements were made using a modified Steeman Nielsen\n(1952) NaH14CO3 uptake assay. The productivity measurements consisted of in\nsitu incubations of water collected at 8 depths and inoculated with 14C-\nlabeled bicarbonate. One hour before sunrise, a shallow cast was performed to\nobtain water from 1, 7, 15, 25, 35, 55, 75, and 100 meters. As the\nproductivity cast was taken, a Licor Photosynthetically-Active Radiation (PAR)\nintegrator, placed high above the ship's bridge, was activated. Water was\npoured directly from the Niskin bottle under low light conditions into 250 ml\nclear polycarbonate bottles. These bottles had been previously acid-washed,\nrinsed, and soaked in de-ionized water for over 48 hours. Bottles were rinsed\nthree times before filling, a near total fill (the volume within the bottles\nwas actually 290 ml of sea water). Four clear polycarbonate bottles were\nfilled from each depth. We wrap one inoculated bottle from each depth in\naluminum foil to obtain the dark 14-C uptake rates. An extra bottle for 1, 15,\n35, and 75 m was filled, but not inoculated, to provide time-zero (t0) filter\nand seawater blanks. The t0 samples were kept in the dark in the laboratory\nand were filtered after deploying the floating incubation buoy.  \n \\u00a0\n \nWe inoculated each sample under low light conditions with 1,000 ml (4 mCi) of\nthe 14C sodium bicarbonate working solution. A 200 ml aliquot for counting\ntotal added 14C activity was removed from one of the 3 bottles from each depth\nand placed in a 20 ml glass scintillation vial containing 250 ml ethanolamine.\nThe mixture was held at 5\\u00b0C until subsequent liquid scintillation\nanalysis on shore. We also placed 50 ml of the 14C working solution in a vial\nwith ethanolamine (250 ml) for reference counting.  \n \\u00a0\n \nThe dark bottle and 3 light bottles were hooked together with a combination of\nplastic tie wraps and nylon cord, and kept in the dark while preparations were\nmade for deployment of the productivity incubation float. At approximately\n07:00 hours, the productivity array was deployed. The entire productivity\nensemble was attached to a buoy equipped with a flag and radar reflector.  \n \\u00a0\n \nProductivity observations were initiated on December 1995. Between December\n1995 and November 1996, we incubated samples from 06:00 to 10:00 hours.\nStarting December 1996, we changed our protocol to incubate between 07:00 and\n11:00 hours. This more accurately represents 1/3 of the daily photoperiod and\n1/3 of the total energy received in one day on a year-round basis at\n10\\u00b030'N, as verified with the PAR light sensor.  \n \\u00a0\n \nApproximately 4 hours after deployment, the productivity array was recovered.\nWe decided to use 4-hour incubation periods due to the potentially high\nproductivity (>1,000 mg/(m\\u00b2d)) of this continental margin. Sample bottles\nwere detached from the line and placed in labeled, dark plastic bags until\nfiltration. Time and position of recovery were recorded. Maintaining low light\nconditions, a 50 ml aliquot was withdrawn from each productivity bottle using\na 50 ml plastic syringe. This aliquot was filtered onto a 25 mm Whatman GF/F\nglass fiber filter, maintaining vacuum levels of \\u223c1/3 atm. The filter was\nrinsed with 0.25 ml 0.5 N HCl, and placed in a 20 ml glass scintillation vial,\ncovered, and held at 5\\u00b0C until subsequent processing on shore. At the\nshore laboratory, immediately upon return and within 15 hours of sample\ncollection, 10 ml of liquid scintillation cocktail were added to the vials\nwith the filters. These vials were refrigerated until they were ready for\nanalysis on a BetaScout (PerkinElmer)scintillation counter.  \n \\u00a0\n \nCarbon uptake calculations followed the standard formulation outlined in the\nJGOFS manual (UNESCO, 1994), taking into consideration a (very low) quenching\ncurve. Specifically, we subtracted the blank from all bottles, and then\nsubtracted the dark bottle uptake from the average uptake in the light bottles\nto correct for non-photoautotrophic carbon fixation or absorption. Dark uptake\nvalues had always been very low. A scaling factor (\\u223c3) was applied to\nconvert the hourly production value to a \\\"daily mean hourly average\\\". This\nfactor varies slightly, as it was based on the fraction of the energy received\nduring the incubation period relative to the total energy received in a day.\nDaily rates were derived by multiplying the hourly rate by 12. Gieskes and Van\nBennekom (1973), Peterson (1980), and Carpenter and Lively (1980) review the\nhistorical background, problems, and assumptions involved in the application\nof the radiocarbon technique to aquatic productivity. Muller-Karger (1984)\nalso summarizes the technique and corrections involved.  \n \\u00a0\n \npH and Alkalinity\n \npH samples were collected directly in 10-cm cells and analyzed on board. We\nmeasured pH and total Alkalinity estimates using the precise\nspectrophotometric dye methods developed by Robert-Baldo et al. (1985), Byrne\nand Breland (1989), and which we modified from Clayton and Byrne (1993) and\nBreland and Byrne (1993). These methods circumvent the problem that arises\nwhen potentiometric electrodes were transferred from dilute buffers to sea\nwater samples due to the sample's high ionic strength. All the pH values were\nreported in the Master file for CARIACO data at 25 \\u2103 to avoid the effects\nof temperature on the solution chemistry. Measurement analytical precision for\npHT at 25\\u00b0C (total_hydrogen_ion_scale) = \\u00b10.003, and for\nTotal_alkalinity (mmol/kg), the precision is = 5 mmol/kg.\\u00a0  \n \\u00a0\n \nCorrections of pH for dye indicator impurities: The pH method uses the dye\nmeta-cresol purple (mCP) as the pH indicator. The mCP dye used in CARIACO was\nin its unpurified form. Impurities in the indicator dye may cause uncertainty\nin measured pH values (Yao et al., 2007). Unpurified forms of the dye absorb\nsignificantly at the wavelength of maximum absorption for the acid species,\nHI- (434 nm) (Liu et al., 2011). The ratio of indicator absorbance at\nwavelengths 578 (base specie, I2-) and 434 (R = A578/A434) is used to\ncalculate pH. Therefore, the effect of the impurities translates into apparent\nlower pH calculated values, especially at surface waters where pH > 8.0 (Yao\net al., 2007). The effect of the impurities varies from one indicator\nmanufacturer to another, and from different batches of the same manufacturer\n(Yao et al., 2007). Fortunately, the indicator used for the whole dataset in\nCARIACO came from the same batch. Hence, a correction for mCP impurities was\napplied following the method developed by Douglas and Byrne (2017) to each set\nof data for each cruise. This correction translated to ~ -0.01 units at pH ~\n8.1, decreasing to ~ - 0.008 units at pH ~ 7.6. The corrections were applied\nto the whole dataset, and values for DIC and fCO2 were recalculated in the\nMaster file. All the pH values were reported in the Master file for CARIACO\ndata at 25 \\u2103 to avoid the effects of temperature on the solution\nchemistry.\\u00a0  \n \\u00a0\n \nChlorophyll\n \nChlorophyll sample collection and storage: water samples were collected from\nNiskin bottles into 1 L dark polyethylene bottles. These samples were\nimmediately filtered through 25 mm Whatman GF/F filters using a vacuum of less\nthan 100 mm Hg. During the upwelling season (approx. January-May) we filtered\n250 ml seawater, and during the rest of the year we filtered 500 ml. Three\nreplicates were taken per depth during the upwelling season, but only two were\ncollected when biomass was obviously at its minimum, during the non-upwelling\nseason. Filters were folded in half twice and placed in glass centrifuge\ntubes, labeled and frozen. Storage time was kept as short as possible (less\nthan a week) before measurement.  \n \\u00a0\n \nChlorophyll procedure: after removal from the freezer, the filters were\nextracted in 10 ml of methanol. The samples were allowed to extract for 24\nhours in the refrigerator. Following extraction, samples were centrifuged for\n20 minutes to remove debris. The fluorometer (Turner fluorometer model\n10-AU-005) was allowed to warm up and stabilize for 30 minutes prior to use.\nPure methanol was measured to confirm the zero position. Samples were\ntransferred to 1-cm cells and they were measured directly into the fluorometer\n(Fo). 100 \\u00b5l of 0.48N HCl was added to each cell. A second reading was\ntaken from the fluorometer for each cell (Fa). Standardization. The\nfluorometer was calibrated every year with a commercially available\nchlorophyll a standard (\\u03a3). The concentration of chlorophyll-an and\nphaeopigments in the sample were calculated using Yentsh and Menzel (1963)\nequation, with a specific absorption coefficient of 74.5 (chlorophyll in\nmethanol).  \n \\u00a0\n \nHPLC\n \nHPLC analysis was restarted in July 2006 (CAR-123). Samples were filtered 47\nmm Whatman GF/F filters at 8 depths (1, 7, 15, 25, 35, 55, 75 and 100m). The\nvolume filtered depends on the amount of particles in the water. Replicates\nwere taken at the 1m depth. Filters were stored in aluminum envelopes and\nstored in the fridge until reaching shore. Once on shore, samples were stored\nat -40\\u00b0C until transportation to the US. Horn Point Laboratory\n([http://www.hpl.umces.edu/](\\\\\"http://www.hpl.umces.edu/\\\\\")) performs the\nanalyses through a collaborative agreement with NASA. The method used was Van\nHeukelem and Thomas (2001).\\u00a0  \n \\u00a0\n \nPOC and PON\n \nPOC and PON sample collection and storage: water samples were collected from\nNiskin bottles into 2 L dark polyethylene bottles. These samples were\nimmediately filtered through 25 mm Whatman GF/F filters (precombusted for 5\nhours at 450\\u00b0C) using a vacuum of less than 100 mm Hg. Since July 2007\n(CAR-135) filters were acidified (10% HCl) after combustion and prior to\nsample collection. A portion of these filters was used for POP analysis (see\nbelow). Filters were placed on expendable tin disks and then into aluminum\nfoil envelops (also precombusted for 5 hours at 450\\u00b0C) labeled and\nfrozen. In the laboratory, filters were dried at 65\\u00b0C for 12-15 hours\nthen stored with silica gel.\n \nMeasurement: The filters were folded inside a tin disk and analyzed on a\nPerkin Elmer 2400 Elemental Analyzer. The samples were combusted at\n1200-1300\\u00b0C and then passed through a reduction tube to removes the\noxygen added to raise the combustion temperature. Filers were not acid fumed\nprior to analysis. The C and N were then separated in a chromatographic column\nand were measured on a Thermal Conductivity Detector. Carbon and nitrogen\nstandards, and blank filters were used to calibrate the data. The accuracy of\nthe instrument was <0.3% and the precision of the instrument was <0.2%. These\nwere published values and we find that we were always within these limits\n(usually \\u00b10.15% for carbon and \\u00b10.1% for nitrogen). We ran cystine\nas our standard (29.99% Carbon, 11.66% Nitrogen). The analytical range of the\ninstrument is: Carbon= .001 to 3.6 mg and Nitrogen= 0.001 to 6.0 mg.  \n \\u00a0\n \nPOP\n \nPOP was analyzed from the same POC/PON filters. The method used for the SRP\nanalysis was based on Koroleff (1983).  \n \\u00a0\n \nDissolved organic Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorous (DOC, DON and DOP)\n \nMeasurements of DOC were taken since the beginning of the project in November\n1995 but suspended in February 2001 (CAR-062) due to irregularity of results.\nDOC was reinitiated in March 2005 (CAR-110) using a new protocol. DOC samples\nwere collected monthly and analyzed at the Organic Biogeochemistry Lab in the\nRosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami.\nSamples were gravity-filtered directly from the Niskin bottles through 45 mm\nGF/F precombusted filters using acid cleaned polycarbonate in-line filter\nholder. Immediately after filtration the polyethylene bottles were frozen at\n-20\\u00b0C until analysis.  \n \\u00a0\n \nDON and DOP measurements were added to the regular CARIACO cruises in July\n2004 (CAR-101). Samples were filtered through GF/F filters using a specially\nbuilt vacuum filter rack. The DON method was based on Solorzano and Sharp\n(1980). This procedure produces a filtered seawater sample for analysis of\ntotal dissolved fixed nitrogen (=nitrate + nitrite + ammonium + DON). DON\nconcentration was obtained by difference from nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium\nmeasured in the standard nutrient protocol. DOP was analyzed in the same\npersulfate-oxidized filtrate solution as DON. That solution yields total\ninorganic phosphate concentration, which was composed of the inorganic\nphosphate concentration originally in the seawater, plus an additional\nphosphate concentration due to the conversion of DOP to phosphate. DOP\nconcentration was then obtained by difference from the inorganic phosphate in\nthe unoxidized sample measured through the standard nutrient protocol.\n \n\\u00a0\n \nOptical measurements\n \nIn-water measurements: a PRR-600 (Biospherical) was used to retrieve\ndownwelling irradiance and upwelling radiance. From these, PAR, Kd and\nreflectance can be calculated. Beam attenuation coefficient (Cp) was measured\nusing a C-Star transmissometer (see section Hydrocasts: CTD and Rosette\nSample), which provides measurements at 660 nm throughout the entire water\ncolumn.  \n \\u00a0\n \nCDOM samples were measured at four depths (1m, 15m, 25m, 50m) by filtration\nthrough a 0.2 \\u00b5m pore size filter and immediately frozen at -20\\u00b0C.\nBefore being analyzed, they were thawed and re-filtered to eliminate any salt\ncrystals that may had formed. CDOM was measured between 200 and 800 nm, with a\n0.3 nm interval, using a dual fiber optic spectrometer (Ocean Optics) equipped\nwith 10-cm quartz cuvettes and distilled water as a blank.  \n \\u00a0\n \nAbove water measurements: a PR-650 (Photoresearch) measures sky radiance (Ls),\nwater leaving radiance (Lw) and total irradiance (Es) at an angle of 30\\u00b0.\nFrom these measurements, remote sensing reflectance (Rrs = Lw/Es) can be\ncalculated and used in satellite sensor (such as MODIS and SeaWiFS)\ncalibration.  \n \\u00a0\n \nMethods 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.

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).\nThis 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).\nThe 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 ).\nNow, 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.\nAcknowledgements: This work was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and Venezuela's Fondo Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnologí­a e Innovación (FONACIT).

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.
