attribute	NC_GLOBAL	acquisition_description	String	Water column sample collection:\u00a0Samples were collected on the R/V Atlantis in January through February 2010, and the R/V Melville in March through April 2011 on a zonal transect along 20\u00ba S between 80\u00ba W and 100\u00ba W, with exact station locations and sample depths, nutrient concentrations and isotopic compositions reported below. Water column samples were collected by Niskin bottles deployed on a rosette equipped with conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensors. All samples were collected into acid-washed, sample-rinsed HDPE bottles, and samples from the upper 400 m passed a 0.2 \u00b5m filter before collection. All samples were stored at -20\u00ba C until analysis on land. 15N2 fixation rate measurements: Short-term N2 fixation rate measurements incubated with 15N2 gas from Sigma Aldrich (lot #s SZ1670V and MBBB0968V) were carried out in acid-washed, sample-rinsed light transparent 4 L polycarbonate bottles amended with 1.5 mL of 99% 15N2\u00a0 and 1.5 mL of 0.5M NaH13CO3. Incubations were performed under simulated in situ conditions of temperature and light and run for staggered periods (e.g. 0, 12, 24 and 48 hrs). Incubations were terminated by filtration of the 4 L sample onto a precombusted 25 mm Whatman GF/F, which was then analyzed by mass spectrometry at the University of Southern California for d15N and d13C. During ESTP 1, periodic time zero incubations were measured, with samples filtered within 5 to 10 minutes of injection of 15N2. Zero time enrichments were typically near natural abundance levels with the greatest observed enrichment in 8 experiments at 23\u2030, essentially at natural abundance level for our tracer experiments. We assumed natural abundance (0.3663 atom %) for calculations. Limits of detection are about 10-14 \u00b5g for N and 6-10 \u00b5g for C. Reproducibility as the standard deviation for isotopic analysis is about \u00b10.3\u2030 for d15N and \u00b10.2\u2030 for d13C, and about \u00b10.1-0.2 \u00b5g for mass determinations.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	instruments_0_description	String	The Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) unit is an integrated instrument package designed to measure the conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth) of the water column. The instrument is lowered via cable through the water column and permits scientists observe the physical properties in real time via a conducting cable connecting the CTD to a deck unit and computer on the ship. The CTD is often configured with additional optional sensors including fluorometers, transmissometers and/or radiometers. It is often combined with a Rosette of water sampling bottles (e.g. Niskin, GO-FLO) for collecting discrete water samples during the cast. This instrument designation is used when specific make and model are not known.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	project	String	N2 fixation ETSP
attribute	NC_GLOBAL	projects_0_acronym	String	N2 fixation ETSP
attribute	NC_GLOBAL	projects_0_description	String	Description from NSF award abstract: Several independent lines of geochemical and remote sensing evidence suggest that dinitrogen (N2) fixation may be associated with surface waters downstream of major oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) and in particular in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific (ETSP). However, little direct evidence supports these inferences. Besides substantiating these indirect assessments, documenting significant N2 fixation in the ETSP would provide insight into two longstanding controversies: Is the marine N budget balanced, as implied by modeling and paleoceanographic data, and if so, how are the processes that add and remove N spatially, and thus temporally coupled? In this project researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Miami will test the hypothesis that fixation occurs in the ETSP at areal rates that equal or exceed those previously documented in more well-studied regions such as the oligotrophic waters of the sub/tropical North Atlantic. If scaled to the surface area of ETSP waters, this could add an additional 10-50 Tg N per year of inputs to the global marine N budget. They will undertake two cruises in the ETSP during early and late summer in two consecutive years to assess the quantitative significance of N2 fixation as a source of new N to surface waters using complementary biological and geochemical tools. N2 fixation rates will be evaluated on two temporal/spatial scales: daily/local (bottle 15N2 incubations and floating sediment traps); and seasonal/regional (d15N budget using moored sediment traps and water column TDN d15N). These estimates provide detailed observations of potential N2 fixation during station occupation in two summer seasons, when rates are expected to be greatest, as well as prolonged observation over lower expected N2 fixation periods. A combination of these different estimates will aim to determine if N2 fixation in this region can help balance the marine N budget. If all goes as planned, this study will determine the quantitative importance of N2 fixation in the ETSP, and whether these previously undocumented rates can help resolve the marine N budget. Implications include the ability of the marine N cycle to maintain homeostasis, and thus the global C cycle on glacial/interglacial time scales.
