attribute	NC_GLOBAL	acquisition_description	String	Sampling and Analytical Methodology:\\u00a0\n \n1\\. Sampling:\n \nSize-fractionated particles were collected using McLane Research in-situ pumps\n(WTS-LV) that had been modified to accommodate two flowpaths (Lam and Morris\nPatent pending).\\u00a0 Typically, two casts of 8 pumps each and two filter\nholders per pump were deployed to collect a 16-depth profile.\\u00a0 The wire-\nout was used to target nominal depths ('depth_n') during deployment. A self-\nrecording Seabird 19plus CTD was deployed at the end of the line for both\ncruises. On the second cruise, three RBR data loggers were also attached to\npumps #2, #5, and #8 to help correct for actual depths ('depth') during\npumping. For the first cruise (KN199-4), the recorded CTD depth was near its\ntarget depth and had a small standard deviation over the course of pumping, so\nwe report the target depth ('depth_n') as the final depth ('depth').\\u00a0 For\nthe second cruise, the target depth ('depth_n') is not the same as the final\ndepth ('depth'), since some casts experienced significant wire angles\n(especially in the western boundary currents), so we corrected for the wire\nangle based on the recorded depths in the three data loggers and terminal CTD.\n\\u00a0\n \nFilter holders used were 142 mm-diameter 'mini-MULVFS' style filter holders\nwith two stages for two size fractions and multiple baffle systems designed to\nensure even particle distribution and prevent particle loss (Bishop et al.\n2012).\\u00a0 One filter holder/flowpath was loaded with a 51micron Sefar\npolyester mesh prefilter followed by paired Whatman QMA quartz fiber filters.\nThe other filter holder/flowpath was also loaded with a 51micron prefilter,\nbut followed by paired 0.8micron Pall Supor800 polyethersulfone filters.\\u00a0\nThese filter combinations were chosen as the best compromise after extensive\ntesting during the intercalibration process (Bishop et al. 2012).\\u00a0 Each\ncast also had a full set of 'dipped blank' filters deployed.\\u00a0 These were\nthe full filters sets (prefilter followed by paired QMA or paired Supor\nfilters) sandwiched within a 1micron polyester mesh filter, loaded into\nperforated polypropylene containers, and attached with plastic cable ties to a\npump frame, and deployed.\\u00a0 Dipped blank filters were exposed to seawater\nfor the length of the deployment and processed and analyzed as regular\nsamples, and thus functioned as full seawater process blanks. \\u00a0\n \nAll filters and filter holders were acid leached prior to use according to\nmethods recommended in the GEOTRACES sample and sample-handing Protocols\n(Geotraces 2010).\n \nIn this dataset, data reported from the 51micron prefilter are referred to\nwith a 'sink' suffix to indicate the sinking size fraction (>51micron); data\nreported from the main filters (QMA - 1-51micron - or Supor - 0.8 micron-\n51micron) are from the top filter of the pair only, and are referred to with a\n'susp' suffix to indicate the suspended size fraction.\n \n2\\. Analytical Methodology:\n \n2.1. Opal (amorphous silica) \n A 1/16 subsample of the top 0.8micron Supor filter, equivalent to ~30L, or\nof the 51micron polyester prefilter above the QMA filter, equivalent to ~60L,\nwas analyzed for amorphous/biogenic Si concentrations using standard\nspectrophotometric detection of the blue silico-molydate complex. We slightly\nmodified DeMaster\\u2019s time-series approach developed for marine sediments\nto correct for the contribution of lithogenic silica to the leachate (Demaster\n1981), using 20mL 0.2N NaOH at 85\\u00b0C for the leach, and taking a 1.6mL\nsubsample every hour for 3 hours.\\u00a0 The slope of the fit was negligible\nfor shallow samples but generally increased with depth of the sample, a\nreflection of the increasing importance of lithogenic silica to total silica\nwith depth; we thus proceeded with a 1 hour incubation time for shallow cast\nsamples (<900m), and continued the time-series approach for deep cast samples\n(>900m).\\u00a0 Dipped blank filters from both shallow and deep casts were used\nto correct the Supor data.\\u00a0 For >51 micron samples on polyester\nprefilters, blank corrections were made using the average failed pump values\n(pumps that never turned on, or that shut off after <5% of programmed water\nvolume was filtered) because of anomalously high prefilter dipped blank\nvalues.\n \nThe detection limit was three times the standard deviation of dipped blank\nsamples and was 0.26 and 0.19 micronol Si/filter for shallow and deep Supor\ndipped blank subsamples, respectively, and was 1.05 and 0.35 micronol\nSi/filter for shallow and deep polyester prefilter failed pump subsamples,\nrespectively.\\u00a0 Values below the detection limit are flagged (QF=4).\n \nThe mass of biogenic silica (opal) was calculated assuming a hydrated form of\nsilica: SiO2.(0.4 H2O) (Mortlock and Froelich 1989), or 67.2 g opal/mol bSi.\n \nWe use the standard deviation of the dipped blank filters used in the blank\nsubtraction to estimate error in the reported opal value.\\u00a0 The\nappropriate filter-matched standard deviations were converted to \\u00b5g\nopal/L using volume filtered and reported in the opal_susp_sd, opal_sink_sd\ncolumns, as appropriate.\n \n2.2 Total Particulate Carbon (TPC) \n Total particulate carbon was measured using a Flash EA1112 Carbon/Nitrogen\nAnalyzer using a Dynamic Flash Combustion technique at the WHOI Nutrient\nAnalytical Facility. Suspended particles (1-51micron) were measured for total\nparticulate carbon using one or two 12mm-diameter punches from the top QMA\nfilter, representing the equivalent of 10-20L of material. For the >51micron\nsize fraction, particles from half or a whole 51micron polyester prefilter\nwere rinsed at sea with 1micron-filtered seawater onto a 25mm 0.8micron\nSterlitech Ag filter or 25mm pre-combusted Whatman QMA filter before being\ndried at 60\\u00b0C.\\u00a0 A quarter of the Ag or QMA filter containing rinsed\nparticles was analyzed for total particulate carbon, typically representing\n60-120L of material. \n We use the standard deviation of the dipped blank filters used in the blank\nsubtraction to estimate error in the TPC measurement.\\u00a0 For TPC in the\nsuspended (0.8-51 micron) size fraction (TPC_susp), the standard deviation of\n8 dipped blank or failed pump QMA filters (6.95 micronol C/filter for\nQMA).\\u00a0 For TPC in the sinking (>51 micron) size fraction, the standard\ndeviation of 8 dipped blank filters rinsed onto Ag and onto QMA were 0.52\nmicronol C/filter and 0.59 micronol C/filter, respectively.\\u00a0 The\nappropriate filter-matched standard deviations were converted to \\u00b5g C/L\nusing volume filtered and reported in the TPC_susp_sd, TPC_sink_sd columns, as\nappropriate.\n \n 2.3 Particulate Inorganic Carbon (PIC) and CaCO3 \n PIC was measured using one of four methods noted in data column\n'PIC_method': \n 1.\\u00a0\\u00a0 \\u00a0Directly by coulometry (measurement of CO2 following\nclosed-system conversion of PIC to CO2 upon addition of 1N phosphoric acid to\na QMA punch or 1/16 polyester prefilter) (Honjo et al. 1995) \n As CaCO3 from the measurement of salt-corrected Ca (using Na for salt\ncorrection) (Lam and Bishop 2007) on a 1/16 subsample of Supor or polyester\nprefilter or 2 QMA punches (2% of filter area) and measured by: \n 2.\\u00a0\\u00a0 \\u00a0ICP-MS at WHOI following a 2 hr room temperature 25%\nglacial acetic acid leach, which was dried down and brought back up in 5% HNO3 \n 3.\\u00a0\\u00a0 \\u00a0ICP-MS at WHOI following a 5% (0.6N) HCl leach for\n12-16 hrs at 60\\u00b0C and diluted to 1% HCl \n 4.\\u00a0\\u00a0 \\u00a0ICP-AES at Boston University following a 5% HCl leach\novernight at room temperature \n Intercomparability between methods was tested by running select samples in\nreplicate by different methods.\\u00a0 PIC_methods 1,2,3 had good\nintercomparability.\\u00a0 There was a 20-30% offset in samples analyzed by\nPIC_method=4 compared to the other methods.\\u00a0 Data from PIC_method=4 were\nnormalized using replicate analyses from a depth profile (GT11-8 for Supor\nsamples; GT11-24 for prefilter samples).\\u00a0 The resulting dataset has\nimproved oceanographic consistency.\\u00a0 When available, the reported error\nis the standard deviation of replicate analyses (after normalization); if no\nreplicate analyses were made, the reported error is the standard deviation of\nthe dipped blank filters used in the blank subtraction for each method and\nfiltertype, adjusted for volume filtered. The standard deviation of the blank\nsubtraction was 18.3 \\u00b5g PIC/QMA filter for coulometry and 3.0 \\u00b5g\nPIC/prefilter or 11.0 \\u00b5g PIC/Supor filter for ICP-MS. For ICP-AES, the\nstandard deviation of the blank subtraction was 190 \\u00b5g PIC/QMA filter, 61\nor 12 \\u00b5g PIC/Supor filter (depending on the run), and 7.1 \\u00b5g\nPIC/prefilter.\n \nThe mass of CaCO3 is calculated stoichiometrically from the mass of PIC (CaCO3\n[\\u00b5g/L] = 100.08 g CaCO3/12 g C * PIC [\\u00b5g/L])\n \n2.4 Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) \n POC is calculated as the difference between TPC (see 2.2) and PIC (see 2.3).\nAny negative numbers were set to 0.\\u00a0 Errors were propagated from those\nfrom TPC and PIC.\n \n2.5 Particulate Organic Matter (POM) \n POM is calculated from POC (see 2.4) using a weight ratio of 1.88 g POM/g\nPOC (Lam et al. 2011).\n \n2.6 Particulate trace metals (pTM) \n Methods for particulate trace metal (pTM) digestion and analysis are\ndescribed in (Ohnemus et al. submitted) and briefly below.\\u00a0 Total pTM\nconcentrations in the suspended fraction (_susp) were analyzed from 1/16\nsubsamples of the top Supor (0.8micron) filter.\\u00a0 pTM totals in the\nsinking size fraction (_sink) were analyzed from 1/8 subsamples (typically\n~150L) of the QMA-side 51micron pre-filter. Pre-filter particles were rinsed\nat sea onto 25mm Supor (0.8micron) filter discs using 0.2micron-filtered\nsurface seawater collected using clean techniques from an underway Fish system\n(Bruland et al. 2005).\\u00a0 In Teflon vials (Savillex), samples were first\ndigested using a 3:1 mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide at high\nheat to remove the Supor filter matrix, then dried. A mixture of HCl/HNO3/HF\nacids (all acids 4N, heated to 135\\u00b0C for 4 hrs) was used to digest the\nmaterial in the remaining pellet, which was then dried, reacted with a small\namount of 50% HNO3/15% H2O2 to remove any remaining organics, dried, and\nresuspended in 5% HNO3\\u00ac for analysis via ICP-MS (Element 2, Thermo-\nFinnigan).\\u00a0 Elemental concentrations were standardized using multi-\nelement, external standard curves prepared from NIST atomic absorption-\nstandards in 5% HNO3\\u00ac.\\u00a0 Standard curves were fitted using weighted\nleast squares fits that consider instrument analytical uncertainties.\\u00a0\nData are reported in units of [nmoles per L of seawater filtered] and have had\nthe median of multiple (typically 12-16) dipped blank filters (analyzed using\nidentical methods) subtracted.\\u00a0 The detection limit of most elements was\ndefined as 3 times the standard deviation of 12-16 dipped blank\nfilters.\\u00a0\\u00a0 We define the detection limit for Ti to be one standard\ndeviation of the dipped blanks filters.\\u00a0 The median and standard\ndeviation of the dipped blank filters and detection limits for the Supor\n(0.8-51 micron size fraction) and polyester prefilter (>51micron size\nfraction) are reported in the following table in nmol per whole filter (NB:\nfilter area of 142mm filter is 158.4 cm2):\n \nTable 1: Dipped (filter) blanks and detection limits for 0.8-51um samples for\n142mm filters (nmol/filter) ([Table 1 PDF file](\\\\\"http://data.bco-\ndmo.org/GEOTRACES/Lam/Lam_particulateComp_table1_v3.pdf\\\\\"))\n \nIn table 1 the errors (_susp_error, _sink_error) are reported as the 1-sigma\nvariation of propagated instrumental analytical and standard curve\nuncertainties, and the variation in subtracted dipped blank filters.\n \nThe completeness of our digestion method for trace elements was assessed by\ndigesting and analyzing three certified reference materials: a freshwater\nplankton CRM from the European Commision Community Bureau of Reference\n(BCR-414), and two marine sediments from the National Research Council of\nCanada (PACS-1 and MESS-3).\\u00a0 Certified values with their standard\ndeviation and recoveries from our lab with standard deviations, are presented\nin the table appended at the end of this document.\n \n2.7 Lithogenic material \n Al is usually used as a tracer of lithogenic material since it is the third\nmost abundant element in Earth\\u2019s crust after Si and O.\\u00a0 Al has the\nadded advantage that its concentration does not vary much between upper\ncontinental crust (UCC Al = 8.04% by weight) and bulk continental crust (BCC\nAl = 8.41wt%), so the estimate of lithogenic mass is not very sensitive to\nlithogenic source regions.\\u00a0 However, our data suggests that there is\nconsiderable scavenged Al in particles near the coasts, which would lead to\noverestimates of lithogenic mass in coastal samples.\\u00a0 We thus calculate\nlithogenic mass two ways: 1) using the UCC Al concentration of 8.04% to\ncalculate lithogenic mass (Litho_AlUCC), and 2) using Ti, a lithogenic tracer\nthat appears to be less affected by scavenging (Litho_TiDust).\\u00a0 Ti has\nthe disadvantage of varying greatly as a function of different source regions\n(e.g., UCC Ti=0.3wt% and BCC Ti=0.54wt%).\\u00a0\\u00a0 We make the assumption\nthat the source of the lithogenic material is from African dust, and use the\nconcentration of Ti and Al in aerosols collected on four samples between Cape\nVerde and Mauritania (Shelley and Landing, personal communication) to estimate\na Ti composition of 0.6 wt% to estimate lithogenic mass (Litho_TiDust).\\u00a0\nWe estimate an uncertainty in the lithogenic mass derived from Ti of 7%, which\nis the propogated uncertainty of the analytical error (1 sigma) of Ti (6%) and\nthe variability in the estimate of the Ti composition of the collected\naerosols (4%).\\u00a0 The Ti-based estimate (Litho_TiDust) is the one that we\nuse in subsequent calculations (eg., suspended particulate mass, section 2.9).\n \n2.8 Fe and Mn oxyhydroxides \n Fe and Mn in oxyhydroxides were calculated by subtracting Fe and Mn\nassociated with lithogenic material.\\u00a0 Unlike Al, crustal Fe, Mn, and Ti\nvary as a function of crustal material, but the ratios of Fe and Mn to Ti are\nless variable. We therefore use Fe/Ti = 8.736 (mole ratio) and Mn/Ti = 0.1268\n(mole ratio) derived from aerosols collected on four samples between Cape\nVerde and Mauritania (Shelley and Landing, personal communication) to subtract\nthe lithogenic contributions of Fe and Mn to derive Fe(OH)3_TiDust and\nMnO2_TiDust.\\u00a0 For comparison, UCC Fe/Ti and Mn/Ti mole ratios are 10.0\nand 0.1745, respectively. Variability in the Fe/Ti and Mn/Ti ratios in the\naerosols and analytical errors for Fe, Mn, and Ti were propagated to determine\nthe error for Fe and Mn oxyhydroxides.\\u00a0 The variability in the Fe/Ti and\nMn/Ti ratios in the aerosols was 2% and 6%, respectively.\\u00a0 Typical\nanalytical errors for Fe, Mn, and Ti are 3%, 3%, and 6%, respectively. We\napproximate the formulae for Fe and Mn oxyhydroxides to be Fe(OH)3\n(ferrihydrite approximation) and MnO2 (birnessite approximation), with formula\nweights 106.9 g Fe(OH)3/mol Fe and 86.9 g MnO2/mol Mn, respectively. Negative\nnumbers were set to 0.\n \n2.9 Suspended particulate mass \\u00a0 \n Suspended particulate mass in the sinking (>51micron) and suspended\n(1-51micron) size fractions was estimated as the chemical dry weight of the\nmajor particulate phases, which is the sum of POM, opal, CaCO3, lithogenic\nmaterial from Ti (Litho_TiDust), and Fe and Mn oxyhydroxides, and is\ncalculated as: \n SPM = 100.08 g CaCO3/12 g C * PIC [\\u00b5g/L] + opal [\\u00b5g/L] + 1.88 g\nPOM/g POC * POC [\\u00b5g/L] + ... \n \\u00a0\\u00a0 \\u00a0Litho_TiDust [\\u00b5g/L] + Fe(OH)3_TiDust [\\u00b5g/L] +\nMnO2_TiDust [\\u00b5g/L] \n Note that the resolution of this data is dictated by the lowest resolution\nof the component parts.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	projects_0_description	String	Much of this text appeared in an article published in OCB News, October 2008, by the OCB Project Office.\nThe first U.S. GEOTRACES Atlantic Section will be specifically centered around a sampling cruise to be carried out in the North Atlantic in 2010. Ed Boyle (MIT) and Bill Jenkins (WHOI) organized a three-day planning workshop that was held September 22-24, 2008 at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The main goal of the workshop, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. GEOTRACES Scientific Steering Committee, was to design the implementation plan for the first U.S. GEOTRACES Atlantic Section. The primary cruise design motivation was to improve knowledge of the sources, sinks and internal cycling of Trace Elements and their Isotopes (TEIs) by studying their distributions along a section in the North Atlantic (Figure 1). The North Atlantic has the full suite of processes that affect TEIs, including strong meridional advection, boundary scavenging and source effects, aeolian deposition, and the salty Mediterranean Outflow. The North Atlantic is particularly important as it lies at the \"origin\" of the global Meridional Overturning Circulation.\nIt is well understood that many trace metals play important roles in biogeochemical processes and the carbon cycle, yet very little is known about their large-scale distributions and the regional scale processes that affect them. Recent advances in sampling and analytical techniques, along with advances in our understanding of their roles in enzymatic and catalytic processes in the open ocean provide a natural opportunity to make substantial advances in our understanding of these important elements. Moreover, we are motivated by the prospect of global change and the need to understand the present and future workings of the ocean's biogeochemistry. The GEOTRACES strategy is to measure a broad suite of TEIs to constrain the critical biogeochemical processes that influence their distributions. In addition to these \"exotic\" substances, more traditional properties, including macronutrients (at micromolar and nanomolar levels), CTD, bio-optical parameters, and carbon system characteristics will be measured. The cruise starts at Line W, a repeat hydrographic section southeast of Cape Cod, extends to Bermuda and subsequently through the North Atlantic oligotrophic subtropical gyre, then transects into the African coast in the northern limb of the coastal upwelling region. From there, the cruise goes northward into the Mediterranean outflow. The station locations shown on the map are for the \"fulldepth TEI\" stations, and constitute approximately half of the stations to be ultimately occupied.\nFigure 1. The proposed 2010 Atlantic GEOTRACES cruise track plotted on dissolved oxygen at 400 m depth. Data from the World Ocean Atlas (Levitus et al., 2005) were plotted using Ocean Data View (courtesy Reiner Schlitzer). [click on the image to view a larger version]\nHydrography, CTD and nutrient measurements will be supported by the Ocean Data Facility (J. Swift) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and funded through NSF Facilities. They will be providing an additional CTD rosette system along with nephelometer and LADCP. A trace metal clean Go-Flo Rosette and winch will be provided by the group at Old Dominion University (G. Cutter) along with a towed underway pumping system.\nThe North Atlantic Transect cruise began in 2010 with KN199 leg 4 (station sampling) and leg 5 (underway sampling only) (Figure 2).\nKN199-04 Cruise Report (PDF)\nFigure 2. The red line shows the cruise track for the first leg of the US Geotraces North Atlantic Transect on the R/V Knorr in October 2010. The rest of the stations (beginning with 13) will be completed in October-December 2011 on the R/V Knorr (courtesy of Bill Jenkins, Chief Scientist, GNAT first leg).

Sampling and Analytical Methodology:\\u00a0\n \n1\\. Sampling:\n \nSize-fractionated particles were collected using McLane Research in-situ pumps\n(WTS-LV) that had been modified to accommodate two flowpaths (Lam and Morris\nPatent pending).\\u00a0 Typically, two casts of 8 pumps each and two filter\nholders per pump were deployed to collect a 16-depth profile.\\u00a0 The wire-\nout was used to target nominal depths ('depth_n') during deployment. A self-\nrecording Seabird 19plus CTD was deployed at the end of the line for both\ncruises. On the second cruise, three RBR data loggers were also attached to\npumps #2, #5, and #8 to help correct for actual depths ('depth') during\npumping. For the first cruise (KN199-4), the recorded CTD depth was near its\ntarget depth and had a small standard deviation over the course of pumping, so\nwe report the target depth ('depth_n') as the final depth ('depth').\\u00a0 For\nthe second cruise, the target depth ('depth_n') is not the same as the final\ndepth ('depth'), since some casts experienced significant wire angles\n(especially in the western boundary currents), so we corrected for the wire\nangle based on the recorded depths in the three data loggers and terminal CTD.\n\\u00a0\n \nFilter holders used were 142 mm-diameter 'mini-MULVFS' style filter holders\nwith two stages for two size fractions and multiple baffle systems designed to\nensure even particle distribution and prevent particle loss (Bishop et al.\n2012).\\u00a0 One filter holder/flowpath was loaded with a 51micron Sefar\npolyester mesh prefilter followed by paired Whatman QMA quartz fiber filters.\nThe other filter holder/flowpath was also loaded with a 51micron prefilter,\nbut followed by paired 0.8micron Pall Supor800 polyethersulfone filters.\\u00a0\nThese filter combinations were chosen as the best compromise after extensive\ntesting during the intercalibration process (Bishop et al. 2012).\\u00a0 Each\ncast also had a full set of 'dipped blank' filters deployed.\\u00a0 These were\nthe full filters sets (prefilter followed by paired QMA or paired Supor\nfilters) sandwiched within a 1micron polyester mesh filter, loaded into\nperforated polypropylene containers, and attached with plastic cable ties to a\npump frame, and deployed.\\u00a0 Dipped blank filters were exposed to seawater\nfor the length of the deployment and processed and analyzed as regular\nsamples, and thus functioned as full seawater process blanks. \\u00a0\n \nAll filters and filter holders were acid leached prior to use according to\nmethods recommended in the GEOTRACES sample and sample-handing Protocols\n(Geotraces 2010).\n \nIn this dataset, data reported from the 51micron prefilter are referred to\nwith a 'sink' suffix to indicate the sinking size fraction (>51micron); data\nreported from the main filters (QMA - 1-51micron - or Supor - 0.8 micron-\n51micron) are from the top filter of the pair only, and are referred to with a\n'susp' suffix to indicate the suspended size fraction.\n \n2\\. Analytical Methodology:\n \n2.1. Opal (amorphous silica) \n A 1/16 subsample of the top 0.8micron Supor filter, equivalent to ~30L, or\nof the 51micron polyester prefilter above the QMA filter, equivalent to ~60L,\nwas analyzed for amorphous/biogenic Si concentrations using standard\nspectrophotometric detection of the blue silico-molydate complex. We slightly\nmodified DeMaster\\u2019s time-series approach developed for marine sediments\nto correct for the contribution of lithogenic silica to the leachate (Demaster\n1981), using 20mL 0.2N NaOH at 85\\u00b0C for the leach, and taking a 1.6mL\nsubsample every hour for 3 hours.\\u00a0 The slope of the fit was negligible\nfor shallow samples but generally increased with depth of the sample, a\nreflection of the increasing importance of lithogenic silica to total silica\nwith depth; we thus proceeded with a 1 hour incubation time for shallow cast\nsamples (<900m), and continued the time-series approach for deep cast samples\n(>900m).\\u00a0 Dipped blank filters from both shallow and deep casts were used\nto correct the Supor data.\\u00a0 For >51 micron samples on polyester\nprefilters, blank corrections were made using the average failed pump values\n(pumps that never turned on, or that shut off after <5% of programmed water\nvolume was filtered) because of anomalously high prefilter dipped blank\nvalues.\n \nThe detection limit was three times the standard deviation of dipped blank\nsamples and was 0.26 and 0.19 micronol Si/filter for shallow and deep Supor\ndipped blank subsamples, respectively, and was 1.05 and 0.35 micronol\nSi/filter for shallow and deep polyester prefilter failed pump subsamples,\nrespectively.\\u00a0 Values below the detection limit are flagged (QF=4).\n \nThe mass of biogenic silica (opal) was calculated assuming a hydrated form of\nsilica: SiO2.(0.4 H2O) (Mortlock and Froelich 1989), or 67.2 g opal/mol bSi.\n \nWe use the standard deviation of the dipped blank filters used in the blank\nsubtraction to estimate error in the reported opal value.\\u00a0 The\nappropriate filter-matched standard deviations were converted to \\u00b5g\nopal/L using volume filtered and reported in the opal_susp_sd, opal_sink_sd\ncolumns, as appropriate.\n \n2.2 Total Particulate Carbon (TPC) \n Total particulate carbon was measured using a Flash EA1112 Carbon/Nitrogen\nAnalyzer using a Dynamic Flash Combustion technique at the WHOI Nutrient\nAnalytical Facility. Suspended particles (1-51micron) were measured for total\nparticulate carbon using one or two 12mm-diameter punches from the top QMA\nfilter, representing the equivalent of 10-20L of material. For the >51micron\nsize fraction, particles from half or a whole 51micron polyester prefilter\nwere rinsed at sea with 1micron-filtered seawater onto a 25mm 0.8micron\nSterlitech Ag filter or 25mm pre-combusted Whatman QMA filter before being\ndried at 60\\u00b0C.\\u00a0 A quarter of the Ag or QMA filter containing rinsed\nparticles was analyzed for total particulate carbon, typically representing\n60-120L of material. \n We use the standard deviation of the dipped blank filters used in the blank\nsubtraction to estimate error in the TPC measurement.\\u00a0 For TPC in the\nsuspended (0.8-51 micron) size fraction (TPC_susp), the standard deviation of\n8 dipped blank or failed pump QMA filters (6.95 micronol C/filter for\nQMA).\\u00a0 For TPC in the sinking (>51 micron) size fraction, the standard\ndeviation of 8 dipped blank filters rinsed onto Ag and onto QMA were 0.52\nmicronol C/filter and 0.59 micronol C/filter, respectively.\\u00a0 The\nappropriate filter-matched standard deviations were converted to \\u00b5g C/L\nusing volume filtered and reported in the TPC_susp_sd, TPC_sink_sd columns, as\nappropriate.\n \n 2.3 Particulate Inorganic Carbon (PIC) and CaCO3 \n PIC was measured using one of four methods noted in data column\n'PIC_method': \n 1.\\u00a0\\u00a0 \\u00a0Directly by coulometry (measurement of CO2 following\nclosed-system conversion of PIC to CO2 upon addition of 1N phosphoric acid to\na QMA punch or 1/16 polyester prefilter) (Honjo et al. 1995) \n As CaCO3 from the measurement of salt-corrected Ca (using Na for salt\ncorrection) (Lam and Bishop 2007) on a 1/16 subsample of Supor or polyester\nprefilter or 2 QMA punches (2% of filter area) and measured by: \n 2.\\u00a0\\u00a0 \\u00a0ICP-MS at WHOI following a 2 hr room temperature 25%\nglacial acetic acid leach, which was dried down and brought back up in 5% HNO3 \n 3.\\u00a0\\u00a0 \\u00a0ICP-MS at WHOI following a 5% (0.6N) HCl leach for\n12-16 hrs at 60\\u00b0C and diluted to 1% HCl \n 4.\\u00a0\\u00a0 \\u00a0ICP-AES at Boston University following a 5% HCl leach\novernight at room temperature \n Intercomparability between methods was tested by running select samples in\nreplicate by different methods.\\u00a0 PIC_methods 1,2,3 had good\nintercomparability.\\u00a0 There was a 20-30% offset in samples analyzed by\nPIC_method=4 compared to the other methods.\\u00a0 Data from PIC_method=4 were\nnormalized using replicate analyses from a depth profile (GT11-8 for Supor\nsamples; GT11-24 for prefilter samples).\\u00a0 The resulting dataset has\nimproved oceanographic consistency.\\u00a0 When available, the reported error\nis the standard deviation of replicate analyses (after normalization); if no\nreplicate analyses were made, the reported error is the standard deviation of\nthe dipped blank filters used in the blank subtraction for each method and\nfiltertype, adjusted for volume filtered. The standard deviation of the blank\nsubtraction was 18.3 \\u00b5g PIC/QMA filter for coulometry and 3.0 \\u00b5g\nPIC/prefilter or 11.0 \\u00b5g PIC/Supor filter for ICP-MS. For ICP-AES, the\nstandard deviation of the blank subtraction was 190 \\u00b5g PIC/QMA filter, 61\nor 12 \\u00b5g PIC/Supor filter (depending on the run), and 7.1 \\u00b5g\nPIC/prefilter.\n \nThe mass of CaCO3 is calculated stoichiometrically from the mass of PIC (CaCO3\n[\\u00b5g/L] = 100.08 g CaCO3/12 g C * PIC [\\u00b5g/L])\n \n2.4 Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) \n POC is calculated as the difference between TPC (see 2.2) and PIC (see 2.3).\nAny negative numbers were set to 0.\\u00a0 Errors were propagated from those\nfrom TPC and PIC.\n \n2.5 Particulate Organic Matter (POM) \n POM is calculated from POC (see 2.4) using a weight ratio of 1.88 g POM/g\nPOC (Lam et al. 2011).\n \n2.6 Particulate trace metals (pTM) \n Methods for particulate trace metal (pTM) digestion and analysis are\ndescribed in (Ohnemus et al. submitted) and briefly below.\\u00a0 Total pTM\nconcentrations in the suspended fraction (*_susp) were analyzed from 1/16\nsubsamples of the top Supor (0.8micron) filter.\\u00a0 pTM totals in the\nsinking size fraction (*_sink) were analyzed from 1/8 subsamples (typically\n~150L) of the QMA-side 51micron pre-filter. Pre-filter particles were rinsed\nat sea onto 25mm Supor (0.8micron) filter discs using 0.2micron-filtered\nsurface seawater collected using clean techniques from an underway Fish system\n(Bruland et al. 2005).\\u00a0 In Teflon vials (Savillex), samples were first\ndigested using a 3:1 mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide at high\nheat to remove the Supor filter matrix, then dried. A mixture of HCl/HNO3/HF\nacids (all acids 4N, heated to 135\\u00b0C for 4 hrs) was used to digest the\nmaterial in the remaining pellet, which was then dried, reacted with a small\namount of 50% HNO3/15% H2O2 to remove any remaining organics, dried, and\nresuspended in 5% HNO3\\u00ac for analysis via ICP-MS (Element 2, Thermo-\nFinnigan).\\u00a0 Elemental concentrations were standardized using multi-\nelement, external standard curves prepared from NIST atomic absorption-\nstandards in 5% HNO3\\u00ac.\\u00a0 Standard curves were fitted using weighted\nleast squares fits that consider instrument analytical uncertainties.\\u00a0\nData are reported in units of [nmoles per L of seawater filtered] and have had\nthe median of multiple (typically 12-16) dipped blank filters (analyzed using\nidentical methods) subtracted.\\u00a0 The detection limit of most elements was\ndefined as 3 times the standard deviation of 12-16 dipped blank\nfilters.\\u00a0\\u00a0 We define the detection limit for Ti to be one standard\ndeviation of the dipped blanks filters.\\u00a0 The median and standard\ndeviation of the dipped blank filters and detection limits for the Supor\n(0.8-51 micron size fraction) and polyester prefilter (>51micron size\nfraction) are reported in the following table in nmol per whole filter (NB:\nfilter area of 142mm filter is 158.4 cm2):\n \nTable 1: Dipped (filter) blanks and detection limits for 0.8-51um samples for\n142mm filters (nmol/filter) ([Table 1 PDF file](\\\\\"http://data.bco-\ndmo.org/GEOTRACES/Lam/Lam_particulateComp_table1_v3.pdf\\\\\"))\n \nIn table 1 the errors (*_susp_error, *_sink_error) are reported as the 1-sigma\nvariation of propagated instrumental analytical and standard curve\nuncertainties, and the variation in subtracted dipped blank filters.\n \nThe completeness of our digestion method for trace elements was assessed by\ndigesting and analyzing three certified reference materials: a freshwater\nplankton CRM from the European Commision Community Bureau of Reference\n(BCR-414), and two marine sediments from the National Research Council of\nCanada (PACS-1 and MESS-3).\\u00a0 Certified values with their standard\ndeviation and recoveries from our lab with standard deviations, are presented\nin the table appended at the end of this document.\n \n2.7 Lithogenic material \n Al is usually used as a tracer of lithogenic material since it is the third\nmost abundant element in Earth\\u2019s crust after Si and O.\\u00a0 Al has the\nadded advantage that its concentration does not vary much between upper\ncontinental crust (UCC Al = 8.04% by weight) and bulk continental crust (BCC\nAl = 8.41wt%), so the estimate of lithogenic mass is not very sensitive to\nlithogenic source regions.\\u00a0 However, our data suggests that there is\nconsiderable scavenged Al in particles near the coasts, which would lead to\noverestimates of lithogenic mass in coastal samples.\\u00a0 We thus calculate\nlithogenic mass two ways: 1) using the UCC Al concentration of 8.04% to\ncalculate lithogenic mass (Litho_AlUCC), and 2) using Ti, a lithogenic tracer\nthat appears to be less affected by scavenging (Litho_TiDust).\\u00a0 Ti has\nthe disadvantage of varying greatly as a function of different source regions\n(e.g., UCC Ti=0.3wt% and BCC Ti=0.54wt%).\\u00a0\\u00a0 We make the assumption\nthat the source of the lithogenic material is from African dust, and use the\nconcentration of Ti and Al in aerosols collected on four samples between Cape\nVerde and Mauritania (Shelley and Landing, personal communication) to estimate\na Ti composition of 0.6 wt% to estimate lithogenic mass (Litho_TiDust).\\u00a0\nWe estimate an uncertainty in the lithogenic mass derived from Ti of 7%, which\nis the propogated uncertainty of the analytical error (1 sigma) of Ti (6%) and\nthe variability in the estimate of the Ti composition of the collected\naerosols (4%).\\u00a0 The Ti-based estimate (Litho_TiDust) is the one that we\nuse in subsequent calculations (eg., suspended particulate mass, section 2.9).\n \n2.8 Fe and Mn oxyhydroxides \n Fe and Mn in oxyhydroxides were calculated by subtracting Fe and Mn\nassociated with lithogenic material.\\u00a0 Unlike Al, crustal Fe, Mn, and Ti\nvary as a function of crustal material, but the ratios of Fe and Mn to Ti are\nless variable. We therefore use Fe/Ti = 8.736 (mole ratio) and Mn/Ti = 0.1268\n(mole ratio) derived from aerosols collected on four samples between Cape\nVerde and Mauritania (Shelley and Landing, personal communication) to subtract\nthe lithogenic contributions of Fe and Mn to derive Fe(OH)3_TiDust and\nMnO2_TiDust.\\u00a0 For comparison, UCC Fe/Ti and Mn/Ti mole ratios are 10.0\nand 0.1745, respectively. Variability in the Fe/Ti and Mn/Ti ratios in the\naerosols and analytical errors for Fe, Mn, and Ti were propagated to determine\nthe error for Fe and Mn oxyhydroxides.\\u00a0 The variability in the Fe/Ti and\nMn/Ti ratios in the aerosols was 2% and 6%, respectively.\\u00a0 Typical\nanalytical errors for Fe, Mn, and Ti are 3%, 3%, and 6%, respectively. We\napproximate the formulae for Fe and Mn oxyhydroxides to be Fe(OH)3\n(ferrihydrite approximation) and MnO2 (birnessite approximation), with formula\nweights 106.9 g Fe(OH)3/mol Fe and 86.9 g MnO2/mol Mn, respectively. Negative\nnumbers were set to 0.\n \n2.9 Suspended particulate mass \\u00a0 \n Suspended particulate mass in the sinking (>51micron) and suspended\n(1-51micron) size fractions was estimated as the chemical dry weight of the\nmajor particulate phases, which is the sum of POM, opal, CaCO3, lithogenic\nmaterial from Ti (Litho_TiDust), and Fe and Mn oxyhydroxides, and is\ncalculated as: \n SPM = 100.08 g CaCO3/12 g C * PIC [\\u00b5g/L] + opal [\\u00b5g/L] + 1.88 g\nPOM/g POC * POC [\\u00b5g/L] + ... \n \\u00a0\\u00a0 \\u00a0Litho_TiDust [\\u00b5g/L] + Fe(OH)3_TiDust [\\u00b5g/L] +\nMnO2_TiDust [\\u00b5g/L] \n Note that the resolution of this data is dictated by the lowest resolution\nof the component parts.

Much of this text appeared in an article published in OCB News, October 2008, by the OCB Project Office.\nThe first U.S. GEOTRACES Atlantic Section will be specifically centered around a sampling cruise to be carried out in the North Atlantic in 2010. Ed Boyle (MIT) and Bill Jenkins (WHOI) organized a three-day planning workshop that was held September 22-24, 2008 at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The main goal of the workshop, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. GEOTRACES Scientific Steering Committee, was to design the implementation plan for the first U.S. GEOTRACES Atlantic Section. The primary cruise design motivation was to improve knowledge of the sources, sinks and internal cycling of Trace Elements and their Isotopes (TEIs) by studying their distributions along a section in the North Atlantic (Figure 1). The North Atlantic has the full suite of processes that affect TEIs, including strong meridional advection, boundary scavenging and source effects, aeolian deposition, and the salty Mediterranean Outflow. The North Atlantic is particularly important as it lies at the \"origin\" of the global Meridional Overturning Circulation.\nIt is well understood that many trace metals play important roles in biogeochemical processes and the carbon cycle, yet very little is known about their large-scale distributions and the regional scale processes that affect them. Recent advances in sampling and analytical techniques, along with advances in our understanding of their roles in enzymatic and catalytic processes in the open ocean provide a natural opportunity to make substantial advances in our understanding of these important elements. Moreover, we are motivated by the prospect of global change and the need to understand the present and future workings of the ocean's biogeochemistry. The GEOTRACES strategy is to measure a broad suite of TEIs to constrain the critical biogeochemical processes that influence their distributions. In addition to these \"exotic\" substances, more traditional properties, including macronutrients (at micromolar and nanomolar levels), CTD, bio-optical parameters, and carbon system characteristics will be measured. The cruise starts at Line W, a repeat hydrographic section southeast of Cape Cod, extends to Bermuda and subsequently through the North Atlantic oligotrophic subtropical gyre, then transects into the African coast in the northern limb of the coastal upwelling region. From there, the cruise goes northward into the Mediterranean outflow. The station locations shown on the map are for the \"fulldepth TEI\" stations, and constitute approximately half of the stations to be ultimately occupied.\nFigure 1. The proposed 2010 Atlantic GEOTRACES cruise track plotted on dissolved oxygen at 400 m depth. Data from the World Ocean Atlas (Levitus et al., 2005) were plotted using Ocean Data View (courtesy Reiner Schlitzer). [click on the image to view a larger version]\nHydrography, CTD and nutrient measurements will be supported by the Ocean Data Facility (J. Swift) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and funded through NSF Facilities. They will be providing an additional CTD rosette system along with nephelometer and LADCP. A trace metal clean Go-Flo Rosette and winch will be provided by the group at Old Dominion University (G. Cutter) along with a towed underway pumping system.\nThe North Atlantic Transect cruise began in 2010 with KN199 leg 4 (station sampling) and leg 5 (underway sampling only) (Figure 2).\nKN199-04 Cruise Report (PDF)\nFigure 2. The red line shows the cruise track for the first leg of the US Geotraces North Atlantic Transect on the R/V Knorr in October 2010. The rest of the stations (beginning with 13) will be completed in October-December 2011 on the R/V Knorr (courtesy of Bill Jenkins, Chief Scientist, GNAT first leg).
