attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Sinking particulate nitrogen (PNsink) mass and d15N analysis:\\u00a0Sinking\nparticulate material was collected using surface-tethered floating particle-\ninterceptor traps (PIT) equipped with 12 polycarbonate cylinders, deployed for\nup to 70 hours. Floating sediment traps were deployed at 200 m at Stations 3\nand 5 on the 2010 cruise; for all other stations, traps were deployed at 100\nm. Sediment trap samples were collected into a brine solution and then\nfiltered and split into replicate samples. In most cases, two splits were\ncollected from each sediment trap, one of which was acidified to remove\ninorganic carbon. In 2010 filtration removed the contribution of\n\\u201cswimmers\\u201d from sediment trap material.\\u00a0On the 2011 cruise,\n\\u201cswimmers\\u201d were identified by dissecting microscopy and hand-picked\nfrom sediment trap samples using sterilized micropipettors and forceps to\nremove their isotopic contribution to the sinking flux. Mass and isotopic\nfluxes were determined by dividing the mass of sinking particulate material\ncaptured in each trap by the trap surface area and by the duration (hrs) of\ntrap deployment. Subsequently, the total mass flux was multiplied by the %N\ndetermined by combustion analysis of trap samples at the UC Davis Stable\nIsotope Facility to calculate PNsink mass fluxes; the d15N of trap samples was\ndetermined at the same time. The limit of detection for combustion analysis is\n1.5 \\u00b5mols N and the precision of the d15N measurement is + 0.3\\u2030. No\nsystematic difference was observed in the d15N of acidified vs. non-acidified\ntrap samples.\n \nReferences:\n \nSoutar, A., Kling, S. A., Crill, P. A. & Duffrin, E.

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_0_description String Floating sediment traps are specially designed sampling devices deployed to float in the water column (as opposed to being secured to a mooring at a fixed depth) for periods of time to collect particles from the water column that are falling toward the sea floor. In general a sediment trap has a container at the bottom to collect the sample and a broad funnel-shaped opening at the top with baffles to keep out very large objects and help prevent the funnel from clogging. The 'Sediment Trap -Floating' designation is used for a floating type of sediment trap about which no other design details are 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:\nSeveral 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?\nIn 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.
