Graham ABSTRACT This report presents methods, analytical and quality control procedures performed during A16N cruise, which took place from June 4 to August 11, 2003 aboard the NOAA Ship RONALD H. BROWN under auspices of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The first hydrographic leg (June 19-July 10) was from Reykjavik to Funchal, Madeira along the 20°W meridian and the second leg (July 15-August 11) continued operations from Funchal to Natal, Brazil on a track southward and ending at 6°S, 25°W. The research was the first in a decadal series of repeat hydrography sections jointly funded by NOAA-OGP and NSF-OCE as part of the CLIVAR/CO2/hydrography/tracer program. Samples were taken from up to 34 depths at 150 stations. The data presented in this report includes the analyses of water samples for: dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), fugacity of CO2 (fCO2), Total Alkalinity (TA), pH, nitrate (NO3), nitrite (NO2), phosphate (PO4), silicate (SiO4) and dissolved oxygen (O2). 1. INTRODUCTION The A16N-2003A cruise from Reykjavik, Iceland to Natal, Brazil was the first in a series of repeat hydrography cruises to measure decadal changes in circulation, heat and fresh water budgets, and carbon inventory in the ocean. The cruises repeat a sub-set of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment/World Hydrographic Program (WOCE/WHP) lines occupied in each major ocean basin in the 1990ties. The program is driven by the need to monitor the changing patterns of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the ocean and provide the necessary data to support continuing model development that will lead to improve forecasting skill for oceans and global climate. The WOCE/JGOFS survey during the 1990s has provided a full depth, baseline data set against which to measure future changes. By integrating the scientific needs of programs requiring measurement of the full water column, major synergies and cost savings are achieved. These measurements are of importance both for major research programs, such as CLIVAR and the U.S. GCRP Carbon Cycle Science Program (CCSP), and for operational activities such as GOOS and GCOS. As outlined in the program documentation one component of a global observing system for the physical climate/CO2 system should include periodic observations of hydrographic variables, CO2 system parameters and other tracers. The large-scale observation component of the CCSP has a need for systematic observations of the invasion of anthropogenic carbon in the ocean superimposed on a variable natural background. The five topic areas that the CO2/CLIVAR repeat hydrography program addresses are: A. Carbon system studies B. Heat and freshwater storage and flux studies C. Deep and shallow water mass and ventilation studies D. Calibration of autonomous sensors E. Data for model calibration Further descriptions of the repeat hydrography program can be found at: http://ushydro.ucsd.edu/ Details of the A16N_2003a cruise can be found in the cruise instructions posted at the website of PMEL: http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/co2/a16n/ and the repeat hydrography website: http://ushydro.ucsd.edu/ The latter website also serves the full dataset from the cruise. The A16N_2003a cruise involved efforts of a dozen investigators whose names and project are listed in Table 1. The cruise was executed under leadership of Dr. John Bullister who served as chief scientist and Dr. Niki Gruber who was co-chief scientist. A full list of personnel on the cruise is given in Table 2. A list of participating institutions is in Table 3. The cruise consisted of a transit leg from Charleston to Reykjavik on which limited surface water observations were taken. Surface water pCO2 measurements for the transit and the hydrography legs can be found at www.aoml.noaa.gov/ocd/gcc. The first hydrographic leg was from Reykjavik to Funchal, Madeira along the 20°W meridian and the second leg continued operations from Funchal to Natal, Brazil on a track southward and ending at 6°S, 25°W (see Figure 1). This data report focuses on the measurement of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), fugacity of CO2 (fCO2), Total Alkalinity (TA), pH, nitrate (NO3), nitrite (NO2), phosphate (PO4), silicate (SiO4) and dissolved oxygen (O2). Methodology, instrumentation and standardization of these parameters improved significantly during the WOCE/JGOFS era. Notable developments include release of manuals detailing the analytical methods and operating protocols (DOE, 1994; http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/oceans /handbook.html). Certified Reference Materials (CRM) are now available for DIC and TA, which are run interspersed with samples to determine calibration offsets. On this cruise the TA values were adjusted accounting for the small difference between the CRMs run at sea and the certified value determined at SIO. For DIC there were problems with the gas loop calibrations attributed to inaccurate temperature sensors. The reference materials were therefore used as primary calibration for both DIC and TA. Instrumentation improved as well in the last decade. Alkalinity measurements can be done with better precision through automation and close checks of the response of electrodes. Burettes are independently calibrated, and the preparation of titrant (hydrochloric acid) undergoes improved quality control and standardization (Millero et al., 1998). Measurement of pH is now done at extreme precision with spectrophotometric methods (Byrne and Breland, 1989). The DIC measurements are done by coulometry, a precise integrative method. During the A16_2003a cruise we utilized two single operator multi-parameter metabolic analyzers (SOMMAs) (Johnson et al., 1999) for analyses, which facilitated a sample throughput of up to 80 samples per day. The fCO2 measurements were done with an equilibration system described in Wanninkhof and Thoning, (1993). For this cruise we changed the data reduction and calculation routines. Comparison of data with a cruise along a similar transect in 1993 shows a appreciable bias between results that is detailed in the section describing the pCO2 analyses. Oxygen measurements were performed by Winkler titrations (Carpenter, 1965) with photometric endpoint detection (Friederich et al., 1984). The titrator worked well but there were issues with errors in bottle volumes and problems with pipettes used to generate standard curves. Extensive post-cruise trouble shooting and bottle volume re-determination were necessary to reduce the data. The data underwent carefully quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) both during the cruise and post-cruise. Precision of measurements was determined from duplicate sampling and comparison of deep-water data where little variability is expected. Outliers in the data were flagged based on several methods utilizing prior knowledge of the trends and known relationships between parameters. Depth profiles for each parameter were scrutinized for outliers. When deviations were observed, it was assessed if other parameters showed deviations. Inorganic carbon system parameters were linked through physical chemical properties and by knowledge of two of the four parameters, the other two can be calculated provided silicate, phosphate, temperature and salinity of the sample are known. These so-called over-determinations or internal consistency calculations were used to assess the difference between calculated and measured values. When the difference exceeded 10 µmol kg-1 for the measured TA and the TA calculated from DIC and pH or fCO2, the three parameters were scrutinized and compared with other methods to assess if the datum should be labeled as questionable. Other techniques described in detail below include regional multi-linear regressions (MLR) between the inorganic carbon parameters and physical and chemical parameters known to correlate with them (for instance DIC = f(T, S, AOU, Si, PO4)). Again the differences between measured and calculated parameters are inspected. Finally the parameters were plotted against latitude for narrow depth intervals. Since changes along depth horizons are usually gradual, anomalies can be easily spotted and flagged. This report describes the analytical procedures, calculations, and assessment of precision for DIC, TA, fCO2, and pH. This is followed by a description of the QA/QC methods based on internal consistency of these parameters and the MLR technique. The final section describes the procedures for measurement of nutrients and oxygen, and details the issues encountered during the cruise. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYTICAL METHODS Total Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) The DIC analytical equipment was set up in a seagoing laboratory van. The analysis was done by coulometry with two analytical systems (AOML-1 and AOML-2) used simultaneously on the cruise. Each system consisted of a coulometer (UIC, Inc.) coupled with a SOMMA (Single Operator Multiparameter Metabolic Analyzer) inlet system developed by Kenneth Johnson (Johnson et al., 1985, 1987, 1993; Johnson, 1992) formerly of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). In the coulometric analysis of DIC, all carbonate species are converted to CO2 (gas) by addition of excess hydrogen ion (acid) to the seawater sample, and the evolved CO2 gas is swept into the titration cell of the coulometer with compressed nitrogen, where it reacts quantitatively with a proprietary reagent based on ethanolamine to generate hydrogen ions. These are subsequently titrated with coulometrically generated OH-. CO2 is thus measured by integrating the total charge required to achieve this. The coulometers were calibrated by injecting aliquots of pure CO2 (99.995%) by means of an 8-port valve outfitted with two sample loops that had been calibrated by Kelly Brown, CCN Consulting (Wilke, 1993). However, due to large temperature variation the calibration factors obtained from gas loop measurements were of poor quality. Instead of using an average of the small and large loop values, we used a constant value for each analyzer throughout the entire cruise. The constant calibration value used for AOML-1 was 1.00532 and for AOML-2 1.00650. The CO2 gas volumes bracketed the amount of CO2 extracted from the water samples for the two AOML systems. All DIC values were corrected for dilution by 0.2 ml of HgCl2 used for sample preservation. The total water volume of the sample bottles was 540 ml. The correction factor used for dilution was 1.00037. A correction was also applied for the offset from the Certified Reference Material (CRM) Batch 59, supplied by Dr. A. Dickson of Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). This correction was applied for each cell using the CRM value obtained in the beginning of the cell. To check the stability of the coulometer and coulometer solutions, the CRMs were measured at the beginning, middle, and end of each coulometer cell solution. The coulometer cell solution was replaced after 25 mg of carbon was titrated, typically after 9-12 hours of continuous use. Sample titration times were 9-16 minutes. Samples were drawn from the "Niskin" bottles into cleaned, precombusted 540-ml Pyrex bottles using Tygon tubing according to procedures outlined in the Handbook of Methods for CO2 Analysis (DOE, 1994). Bottles were rinsed once and filled from the bottom, overflowing half a volume. Care was taken not to entrain any bubbles. The tube was pinched off and withdrawn, creating a 5-ml headspace, and 0.2 ml of saturated HgCl2 solution was added as a preservative. The sample bottles were sealed with glass stoppers lightly covered with Apiezon-L grease, and were stored at room temperature for a maximum of 12 hours prior to analysis. Replicate seawater samples were taken from the surface, 1000 m, and bottom "Niskin" sample bottles and run at different times during the cell. The first replicate of the surface water was used at the start of the cell with fresh coulometer solution, the second surface replicate and the first one of the 1000 replicates were run in the middle of the cell after about 12 mg of C were titrated. The second one of the 1000 m replicates and the first one of the bottom replicates were run at the end of the cell after about 25 mg of C were titrated, while the second one of the bottom replicate samples was run using a new coulometer cell solution, see. No systematic difference between the replicates was observed. The trends do not suggest any systematic dependency of results with amount of carbon titrated for a particular cell. The results of the duplicate samples have been presented in Figure 2, and Table 4 and 5. Calculations Calculation of the amount of CO2 injected was according to the Department of Energy (DOE) CO2 handbook [DOE, 1994]. The concentration of CO2 ([CO2]) in the samples was determined according to: (Counts - Blank * Run Time) * K µmol/count [CO2] = Cal. factor * ------------------------------------------- pipette volume * density of sample where Cal factor is the calibration factor that were fixed for this cruise because of malfunctioning of gas loops, "Counts" is the instrument reading at the end of the analysis, "Blank" is the counts/minute determined from blank runs performed at least once for each cell of the solution, "Run Time" is the length of coulometric titration (in minutes), and K is the conversion factor from counts to µmol which is dependent on the slope and intercept relation between instrument response and charge. For a unit with Ecal slope of 1 and intercept of 0, the constant is 2.0728 * 10-4. The blank values for AOML1 were in the range of 12.0-33.3 counts/min with an average value of 19.6 counts/min and a standard deviation of 6.8 counts/min. For AOML2 they were in the range of 12.0-30.0 counts/min with an average value of 21.7 counts/min and a standard deviation of 6.1 counts/min. The pipette volume was determined by taking aliquots at known temperature of distilled water from the volumes prior to the cruise. The weights with the appropriate densities were used to determine the volume of the pipettes (AOML1: 28.726 cm3 @ 19.96°C, AOML2: 22.623 cm3 @ 22.63°C). Calculation of pipette volumes, density, and final CO2 concentration were performed according to procedures outlined in the DOE CO2 handbook (DOE, 1994). Fugacity of CO2 (fCO2) Instrumentation The fugacity of CO2 was measured on the A16N_2003a cruise at a constant temperature of 20°C by equilibrating a 500-ml water aliquot in a volumetric flask with a closed headspace. The headspace is circulated through a non-dispersive infrared detector that measures both CO2 and H2O levels. The analytical instrumentation is detailed in Wanninkhof and Thoning (1993) and is the same as the setup used in the N.Atl-93 cruise that occupied the same cruise line in 1993 (Castle et al., 1998). The system is patterned after that of Chipman et al. (1993) with modifications as presented in Wanninkhof and Thoning (1993). In short, in the system a 500-ml water sample is equilibrated at ambient pressure with an 80-ml headspace in a thermostatted volumetric flask. The headspace is circulated through a non- dispersive infrared analyzer, NDIR, LICOR model 6262. Upon equilibration the circulation flow is stopped and 30 readings of H2O content and CO2 content in the cell are taken over a 30-second interval and averaged. The system is a dual channel system where one equilibration occurs while circulating through the NDIR and a second flask is equilibrated offline. Once the first sample is analyzed the second flask is switched in line with the NDIR and the residual air in the NDIR is equilibrated with the second flask content. The second equilibration phase through the NDIR takes less time as a large part of the headspace already is equilibrated offline. The two-channel configuration decreases the total analysis time to about 20 minutes for two samples. The system is calibrated after every eight samples with six gaseous standards traceable to the manometrically determined values of C. D. Keeling of Scripps Institute of Oceanography. The mole fractions of the standards used during the A16N_2003a cruise were: Tank number | mole fraction --------------------------- CA05989 | 378.7 ppm CA05980 | 792.5 ppm CA05984 | 1036.9 ppm CA05940 | 1533.7 ppm CA05988 | 593.6 ppm CA05998 | 205.1 ppm The standards are also used as the headspace gas for the equilibration. Since the mole fractions of the gases in the headspace prior to equilibration are known, the small perturbation of the fCO2 in the water during the equilibration process can quantitatively be accounted for. The headspace gas is selected such that it is close the anticipated water value thereby minimizing the correction. Data Reduction The calculation of the fCO2 involves several steps including the conversion of the NDIR output to an equivalent dried mole fraction of CO2, the correction for the perturbation of the fCO2 in water by equilibration, and the small adjustment from the measurement temperature to 20°C. For the reduction of the A16N_2003a fCO2 we made an important adjustment in procedures. On previous cruises, the calibration of the samples that were run at 100% water vapor pressure (@ 20°C) to the standards that are dry was done through an empirical algorithms created by running standards both wet and dry. For this cruise we relied on the internal correction from wet to dry mole fraction of CO2 provided by the LI-COR 6262. This change is based on testing by our group and other investigators that showed that the correction provided by the instrument is of high quality and subject to less uncertainty than our empirical corrections. Since this is a fundamental change in our procedures we describe the old and new routine in detail below including comparison of the results. The correction from detector output to (dry) mole fraction of CO2, XCO2 in the headspace was previously done by measuring the voltage output of the CO2 and H2O channel. An empirical algorithm between dry standards and standards saturated with water vapor at 20°C was created of the form: MVCO2(dry) = MVCO2 (wet) + A + B*MVCO2(wet) + C*(MVCO2(wet))2 Where MV is the millivolt output of the CO2 channel and MVCO2 (wet) is the milli-volt value measured for the equilibrated headspace of the sample. From this algorithm the (water saturated) headspace gas is corrected to the dry state such that the samples can be directly related to the standard. The next step is the convert the MVCO2(dry) of the sample to a XCO2 by creating a curve of MVCO2(dry) vs. XCO2 using the standards preceding and following the samples. For each sample the three standards closest to the samples are selected and a second-order polynomial was created of MVCO2 vs. XCO2 by averaging the appropriate standards preceding and following the sample. The second- order polynomial is then used to calculate the XCO2 of the sample. Following this step the fCO2 in the headspace is calculated according to: fCO2 = XCO2 (1-pH2O)*0.9966 Where pH2O is the water vapor pressure @ 20°C (= 0.0226 atm) and 0.9966 is the conversion factor from pCO2 to fCO2 @ 20°C. The next step is the correction for change in the fCO2 in the water sample due to exchange of CO2 with the headspace during equilibration. This step is accomplished by using the mass balance criteria that the total amount of carbon in the headspace and water is conserved and by using the fact that the TA remains unchanged during equilibration. The DIC of the sample (determined independently) and the headspace gas concentration prior to equilibration along with the volume of water and headspace are used to calculate the total amount of carbon in the system. From the change in headspace CO2 before versus after equilibration the change the DIC in the water can then be determined. From this change and the TA (calculated from DIC and fCO2 after equilibration), the fCO2 in the water before equilibration can then be determined. The final step is to correct the fCO2 from analysis temperature to 20°C. The water samples are always equilibrated within 0.1°C of 20°C such that this correction is less than 0.4% of the value. The correction for perturbation of the fCO2 in the water during equilibration and the temperature correction to 20°C are performed using the carbonate dissociation constants and the temperature dependence of the constants and the calculation routines described in (Peng et al., 1987) For A16N_2003a the correction from the moist gas of the sample to an equivalent dry concentration was performed utilizing the internal correction routine built into the Li-6262 analyzer. This internal algorithm has been extensively checked by others and our tests showed that the correction was robust as well. The important advantage of this internal correction is that in our previous data reductions we assumed that the algorithm between wet and dry created in laboratory tests before the cruise or after the cruise does not change appreciably over time. This has proven not always to be the case. Secondly, the water vapor level measured during the standard runs can be appreciable despite absence of water vapor in the compressed gas standards since it takes a long time for the water vapor introduced by the equilibration of the samples to be flushed from the system. Therefore we see a decreasing trend of water vapor level when the six samples are run consecutively (see Figure 3). The modified data reduction routine uses the XCO2(dry) calculated by the detector for both standards and samples. A second-order polynomial fit is created between the actual mole fraction of CO2 in the standard and the instrument value. This standardization accounts instrument drifts over time. The detector was zeroed and spanned for CO2 every day while the water vapor channel was spanned right before the first leg and before the second leg. Standardizing the water vapor channel is difficult because of the "stickiness" of the water vapor leading to lags and very slow response times. A polynomial is created for the three standards closest to the sample by averaging the pertinent standards before and after the sample. The other steps of correcting for small temperature deviations of the water bath from 20°C and correction to fCO2 prior to equilibration are identical to the procedures outlined above. The new correction routine results in small differences in values for calculated fCO2 compared to the previous data reduction routine. Table 6 shows a comparison for station 45. The values using the new reduction are systematically about 2 µatm lower than the old reduction method. The Table also gives the results of two different water vapor correction algorithms. One empirical correction was established before the cruise and one determined from running wet vs. dry standards after the cruise. The results show differences in the range from 7 to 17 µatm. Quality Control During the cruise a total of 1515 Niskin samples were analyzed for fCO2, compared to 2500 DIC samples. This was because only one full-time and a part -time operator were available for the work while two full-time analysts were involved in DIC analysis. A summary of the analysis statistics is given in Table 7. The precision of the results is based on comparison of duplicate values and is estimated to be 2 µatm or 0.3% based on the results in Table 8. There is no apparent trend in imprecision with depth or absolute concentration when comparing absolute difference. The relative (%) difference is slightly higher for lower fCO2 values found near the surface. Deep-water comparison with the 1993 cruise (NAtl-93) and crossover with 1999 cruise (24N). The A16N_2003a cruise overlapped or intersected with two previous cruises that were sampled by our group. The NAtl-93 cruise (Castle et al., 1998) followed the same track and was occupied during the summer of 1993 but it was run from South to North. A 24- bottle rosette was used such that fewer depth samples were obtained and the spacing of the stations was nominal 1 degree compared to 1/2 degree spacing on the 2003 occupation. The 24N-98 cruise was run in February and intersected the A16N- 2003a cruise near 24°N, 26.5°W. In the comparison we make the assumption that changes in deep water are negligible over the time period. The crossover with the 24 N cruise is shown in Figure 4. The fCO2 shows a consistent offset with the 2003 data being about 18 µatm higher than the 1998 data. For the comparison with the 1993 data we looked at the deep water offset in the deep water for stations spaced about 5 degrees apart (Figure 5). Again a systematic bias is observed with the 2003 data being higher. The magnitude of the bias however is about 10 µatm. The cause of these offsets is disconcerting and attributed to the water vapor correction. However, the exact reason or possible corrections is not readily apparent. The surface water fCO2 levels are measured with a different system in underway mode near sea surface temperature and offer an independent assessment of agreement of fCO2 values. However, the temperature correction has some uncertainties which complicate the comparison. For the comparison the fCO2(20) values are corrected to SST as determined by the thermosalinograph using the empirical correction of ŹfCO2/ŹT = 0.0423°C-1 and by using the temperature dependence of the dissociation constant and using the thermodynamic equations. The results are shown in Figure 6 and show average differences of: -3.30 ± 4.9 µatm (n=76) for fCO2(UW)-fCO2(disc)Mehr and -6.66 ± 4.1 µatm (n=76) for fCO2(UW)-fCO2(disc)4.23%. In case of fCO2(UW)- fCO2(disc)Mehr, the fCO2(20) are normalized to sea surface temperature using the Mehrbach constants as refit by Dickson and Millero. For fCO2(UW)-fCO2(disc)4.23%., the fCO2(20) are normalized to SST using the empirical relationship of 0.0423°C-1 . Again our temperature corrected discrete data are on average higher than the underway measurements. The differences CO2(UW)-fCO2(disc)Mehr and fCO2(UW)-fCO2(disc)4.23% are plotted against temperature in Figure 7. There is a slight trend with temperature for the adjustments using the Mehrbach constants. Also, near 20°C when the adjustment is small the comparison shows that the discrete data is systematically higher. For the range from 18 to 22°C the difference is -5.1 ± 4.9µatm (n=76) and -6.7 ± 4.1 µatm (n=76) for fCO2(UW)-fCO2(disc)Mehr and fCO2(UW)- fCO2(disc)4.23% very similar to the average difference over the entire temperature range suggesting that the systematic offset is not attributable to the temperature correction alone. Total Alkalinity (TA) Seawater samples were drawn from the "Niskin" bottles with a 40-cm length of silicon tubing. One end of the tubing was fit over the petcock of the "Niskin" bottle and the other end was inserted into the bottom of a 500-ml Corning glass-stoppered sample bottle. The sample bottle was rinsed three times with approximately 300 ml of seawater. The sample bottle was slowly filled from the bottom. Once filled, the sample bottles were kept in a constant water bath at 25°C for half-hour before analysis. The titration system used to determine TA consisted of a Metrohm 665 Dosimat titrator and an Orion 720A pH meter controlled by a personal computer (Millero et al., 1993). The acid titrant, in a water-jacketed burette, and the seawater sample, in a water- jacketed cell, were kept at 25±0.1°C with a Neslab constant- temperature bath. The plexiglass water-jacketed cells were similar to those used by Bradshaw et al. (1988), except that a larger volume (200 ml) was used to increase the precision. The cells had fill and drain valves with zero dead-volume to increase the reproducibility of the cell volume. The HCl solutions used throughout the cruise were made, standardized, and stored in 500 cm3 glass bottles in the laboratory for use at sea. The 0.23202 M HCl solutions were made from 1 M Mallinckrodt standard solutions in 0.45 M NaCl to yield an ionic strength equivalent to that of average seawater (~0.7 M). The acid was standardized using a coulometric technique by the Univ. of Miami and by Dr. Dickson of Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). The two standardization techniques agreed to +/-0.0001 N. The volume of HCl delivered to the cell is traditionally assumed to have a small uncertainty (Dickson, 1981) and is equated with the digital output of the titrator. Calibrations of the Dosimat burettes with Milli Q water at 25°C indicated that the systems deliver 3.000 ml (the value for a titration of seawater) to a precision of 0.0004 ml. This uncertainty resulted in an error of 0.4 µmol/kg in TA. The titrators were calibrated in the laboratory before the cruise. Certified standard Reference Material (CRM) Batch 59 prepared by Dr. Dickson was used at sea to monitor the performance of the titrators. All TA data have been corrected based on CRM values for each cell and each leg. (Millero et al, 2000), see Table 9. pH Seawater samples were drawn from the "Niskin" bottles with a 20-cm length of silicon tubing. One end of the tubing was fit over the petcock of the "Niskin" bottle and the other end was attached over the opening of a 10-cm glass spectrophotometric cell. The spectrophotometric cell was rinsed three to four times with a total volume of approximately 200 ml of seawater; the Teflon endcaps were also rinsed and then used to seal a sample of seawater in the glass cell. While drawing the sample, care was taken to make sure that no air bubbles were trapped within the cell. The sample cells were kept in a waterbath at 20°C for a half an hour before analysis. Seawater pH was measured using the spectrophotometric procedure (Byrne, 1987) and the indicator calibration of Clayton and Byrne (1993). The indicator was an 8.0-mM solution of m-cresol purple sodium salt (C21H17O5Na) in MilliQ water. The absorbance measurements were made using a Varian Cary 2200 spectrophotometer. The temperature was controlled to a constant temperature of 25°C with an Endocal RTE 8DD refrigerated circulating temperature bath that regulates the temperature to ±0.01°C. The temperature was measured using a Guildline 9540 digital platinum resistance thermometer. Nutrients Sampling and analytical methods Nutrient samples were collected from Niskin bottles in acid washed 25-mL linear polyethylene bottles after at least three complete seawater rinses and analyzed within 2 hours of sample collection. Measurements were made in a temperature-controlled bioanalytical laboratory (20 ±2°C) aboard the NOAA Ship R. Brown. Concentrations of nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-), phosphate (PO43-) and silicic acid (H4SiO4) were determined using a modified Alpkem Flow Solution Auto-Analyzer coupled with a modified RFA 301 autosampler. Sample and wash time for the auto sampler were set at 120 and 5 seconds, respectively. The following analytical methods were employed: Nitrate and Nitrite: Nitrite was determined by diazotizing with sulfanilamide and coupling with N-1 naphthyl ethylenediamine dihydrochloride to form an azo dye. The color produced is measured at 540 nm (Zhang et al., 1997a). Samples for nitrate analysis were passed through a home- made cadmium column (Zhang et al, 2000), which reduced nitrate to nitrite. Total nitrite, mostly from reduction of nitrate with a small amount of nitrite present in the original samples, was then determined as described above. Nitrate concentrations in seawater samples were calculated by difference. Phosphate: Phosphate in the samples was determined by reacting with molybdenum (VI) in an acidic medium to form a phosphomolybdate complex. This complex was subsequently reduced with hydrazine at a temperature of 55(C to form phosphomolybdenum blue (Zhang et al., 2001). An AAII detector with an 880 nm filter was used to measure the absorbance during the cruise. Silicic Acid: Silicic acid in the samples was analyzed by reacting with molybdate in a acidic solution to form ß-molybdosilicic acid. The ß-molybdosilicic acid was then reduced by ascorbic acid to form molybdenum blue (Zhang et al., 1997b). The absorbance of the molybdenum blue was measured at 660 nm. Calibration and standards: The low-nutrient seawater used for the preparation of working standards, determination of blank and wash between samples was filtered seawater obtained from the surface of the Gulf Stream. Stock standard solutions were prepared by dissolving high purity standard materials (KNO3 , NaNO2 , KH2PO4 and Na2SiF6) in deionized water. Working standards were freshly made at each station by diluting the stock solutions in low-nutrient seawater. Standardizations were performed prior to each sample run with working standard solutions. Two or three replicate samples were collected from a Niskin bottle that was sampled at deepest depth at each cast. The relative standard deviation from the results of these replicate samples were used to estimate the overall precision obtained by the sampling and analytical procedures. The precisions of analyses were 0.08 µmol/kg for nitrate, 0.01 µmol/kg for phosphate and 0.1 µmol/kg for silicic acid, respectively. OXYGEN Method The analytical method for dissolved oxygen in seawater during 2003 A16N cruise was based on automated Winkler titration by Williams and Jenkinson (1982) and modified by Friederich et al. (1991). Dissolved oxygen samples were withdrawn from 10-L Niskin bottles to 145-ml Pyrex brand iodine flasks (Corning 5400, Corning, New York, USA). The exact volume of each flask at room temperature had been gravimetrically calibrated with its ground glass stopper following standard procedures (DOE, 1994; WHP Operations and methods, 1991). One ml of manganese chloride reagent and one ml of alkaline iodide reagent were added to each sample in the iodine flasks and its stopper was placed in the bottle neck. The bottles were shaken vigorously for about one minute to completely fix oxygen with manganese hydroxide. In this method, dissolved oxygen in the sample reacts with manganese hydroxide to form Mn(OH)3 precipitate. Particulate Mn(OH)3 dissolve upon the acidification and resulting Mn3+ oxidize iodide to iodine in acidic solution. The liberated iodine complex with excess iodide forming I3Ż and the latter is titrated with a sodium thiosulfate solution that is standardized by a primary standard potassium iodate. The complex I3Ż has a maximum absorbance at 352 nm and change in absorbance of I3Ż at 352 nm is used to detect the end point. A custom-build automated oxygen titrator with MS DOS interfacing software was used to determine dissolved oxygen concentrations in the samples. A total of 5011 seawater samples were taken from 150 stations and analyze for dissolved oxygen concentrations. At the beginning of cruise, a test CTD cast was made by sampling 20 Niskin bottles from same depth (170 m). Analysis of these samples was listed in Table 10 and indicate a precision of 0.3 micromole/L. Throughout the cruise duplicate samples from same Niskin bottle were collected at each station to estimate the precision of overall measurement (sampling and analysis). Analyses of 300 replicate samples listed in Table 11 indicated that the precision of shipboard automated Winkler titration is 0.29 including all outliers and 0.24 micromole/L excluding the outliers. Analysis of outliers indicated that most outliers in duplicate analysis were due to errors in the volumes of oxygen bottles if it is not a problem with Niskin bottles or sampling error. The outliers in vertical profiles of oxygen were also used to identify the bottles that might have errors in volumes. Total of 33 sample bottles were recalibrated and 11 of them had volume errors greater than 0.3 ml (Table 12). This accounts about 5% of sample bottles used during the A16N cruise. The volumes of such identified questionable oxygen bottles were recalibrated after the cruise and dissolved oxygen concentrations were recalculated for those samples using correct volumes. The primary iodate standard solution was prepared from high purity reagent grade KIO3 (Mallinckrodt, USA), pre-dried in an oven at 110°C for overnight and cooled in a desiccator before weighing. The thiosulfate solution was prepared from reagent grade Na2S2O3 ·5H2O (Mallinckrodt, USA). During the cruise, total of 25 bottles of thiosulfate solutions (1 liter each) were consumed for oxygen analyses. Each new bottle of thiosulfate solution was first standardized by the primary standard KIO3 solution before using it for sample titration. Standardizations of the thiosulfate solutions were performed by titration of known amounts of KIO3 solution (usually 2, 4, 6, and 8 ml). Regression analysis of four titration points generates a slope (factor) and an intercept (blank) from which sample concentration are calculated. Extending KIO3 solution to 20 ml produced essentially the same calibration curve as shown in the thiosulfate bottle 21 in Table 13. Each bottle of thiosulfate usually lasts for 2 to 3 days of sample titration. The thiosulfate bottle 24 had replicate standardization. The thiosulfate bottle 19 was standardized at the beginning and the end of its life span to check its stability during storage. All the replicate analyses produced acceptable results within uncertainty of standardization as shown in Table 13. It should be pointed out that at beginning of cruise there are several standardizations with lower slopes and larger intercepts as shown in Figure 8. These were attributed to malfunction of titration system used during that period. When system is functioning properly it produced slopes within 1% of the theoretical value of 24.818 and intercepts less than ±0.01 as shown in most part of cruise in Figure 8. At the beginning of leg 2 (from stations 72 to 79) a problematic automatic pipette was used to deliver the KIO3 standard solution for standardization of thiosulfate solution in bottle 14. An unusually high slope was observed and this pipette was not used in subsequent analyses. Shipboard and post cruise comparison indicated that there is an error in volume delivery of this automatic pipette. Dissolved oxygen concentrations from station 72 to 79 have been corrected for errors in volume delivery of iodate solution by this automatic pipette used in the standardization of thiosulfate solution. A correction factor (1.0153) was estimated based on post-cruise recalibration of the automatic pipette as shown in Table 14 and was applied to data from station 72 to 79. Since the Dosimat titrators have demonstrated high precision and accuracy (0.05 and 0.2% at delivery of 10ml solution, respectively) in volume delivery of titrants, we recommend use a Dosimat or similar positive displacement burette to quantitatively dispense the iodate standard solution in the future cruises. This procedure can improve the accuracy of shipboard oxygen analysis. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The dedication and assistance of the officers and crew of the NOAA Ship RONALD H.

All profiles were to within 10m of the bottom, ranging from about 200m to nearly 6000m. Three underwater package configurations were used during this cruise. The primary package was a new 36-position stainless steel frame mounted with 34 12-liter Niskin bottles, Sea-Bird carousel, load cell, altimeter, pinger, LADCP, and optical sensors. The Sea-Bird CTDO sensors were a 9plus CTD s/n 315; primary TC sensors s/n 4193, 1180; secondary TC sensors s/n 1455, 354; and SBE 43 oxygen sensors s/n 315, 313, or 312. During bad weather or while testing a deteriorating winch cable, a small 24-position stainless steel frame was employed. This bad weather frame was mounted with 24 4-liter Niskin bottles, AOML- owned Sea-Bird carousel, load cell, altimeter, and pinger. The Sea-Bird CTDO sensors were a 9plus CTD s/n 209; primary TC sensors s/n 1370, 1434; secondary TC sensors s/n 1460, 1177; and SBE 43 oxygen sensors s/n 313 or 312. The third configuration was comprised of the primary package with the bad weather CTD and sensors, and used after the primary CTD s/n 315 blew the power supply at station 142. Sea-Bird configuration files were named a16n_1.con, a16n_2.con, and a16n_3.con, respectively. N.B., The pre-cruise pressure calibration offset for CTD s/n 315 was amended by +1 dbar in a16n_1.con. Data were acquired at full 24 Hz resolution through a Sea-Bird 11plus deck unit and the ship's dedicated PC using Seasave software version 5.28c. Analog data were archived onto VCR tapes, although likely unrecoverable. Fortunately, no real-time data were lost. Digital backups were made to Zip disks and CDs. The discrete sample database, maintained by Frank Delahoyde at sea, totals 4824 records. The only instance of rosette misfire identified was during station 119, where two bottles closed at 1400 dbar; the following 6 bottle closures were offset by one; and no sample was collected at 600 dbar. PROCESSING The reduction of profile data began with a standard suite of processing modules using Sea-Bird Seasoft software DOS version 4.249 in the following order: DATCNV converts raw data into engineering units and creates a bottle range file. Both down and up casts were processed for scan, elapsed time(s), pressure, t0, t1, c0, c1, and oxygen voltage. Optical sensor data were carried through for casts using the primary package. MARKSCAN was used to skip over scans acquired on deck and while priming the system. ALIGNCTD aligns temperature, conductivity, and oxygen measurements in time relative to pressure to ensure that derived parameters are made using measurements from the same parcel of water. Primary conductivity is automatically advanced in the deck unit by 0.073 seconds. On the primary package, the additional alignment of primary sensor s/n 1180 was -0.040 seconds (net alignment 0.033 seconds), and the total alignment for secondary sensor s/n 354 was 0.089 seconds. On the bad weather package, the additional alignment of primary sensor s/n 1434 was - 0.010 seconds (net alignment 0.063 seconds), and the total alignment for secondary sensor s/n 1177 was 0.057 seconds. For the ending package configuration, the additional alignment of primary sensor s/n 1434 was - 0.010 seconds (net alignment 0.063 seconds), and the total alignment for secondary sensor s/n 1177 was 0.089 seconds as it was then being plumbed with the optical sensors in the primary frame. It was not necessary to align temperature or oxygen. ROSSUM averages bottle data over an 8-second interval as specified in the range file, and derives salinity, theta, sigma-theta, and oxygen (umol/kg). WILDEDIT makes two passes through the data in 100 scan bins. The first pass flags points greater than 2 standard deviations; the second pass removes points greater than 20 standard deviations from the mean with the flagged points excluded. Data were kept within 100 of the mean (i.e. all data). FILTER applies a low pass filter to pressure with a time constant of 0.15 seconds. In order to produce zero phase (no time shift) the filter is first run forward through the file and then run backwards through the file. Mistakenly, a time constant of only 0.03 seconds was used for this cruise, of small consequence. CELLTM uses a recursive filter to remove conductivity cell thermal mass effects from measured conductivity. In areas with steep temperature gradients the thermal mass correction is on the order of 0.005 PSU. In other areas the correction is negligible. The value used for the thermal anomaly amplitude (alpha) was 0.03. The value used for the thermal anomaly time constant (1/beta) was 7.0. Mistakenly, the secondary sensors of either CTD were not corrected for this effect. LOOPEDIT removes scans associated with pressure slowdowns and reversals. If the CTD velocity is less than 0.25 m/s or the pressure is not greater than the previous maximum scan, the scan is omitted. BINAVG averages the data into 1 db bins. Each bin is centered on an integer pressure value, e.g. the 1 db bin averages scans where pressure is between 0.5 db and 1.5 db. There is no surface bin. DERIVE uses 1 db averaged pressure, temperature, and conductivity to compute salinity, theta, sigma-theta, and dynamic height. TRANS converts the data file from binary to ASCII format. Package slowdowns and reversals owing to ship roll can move mixed water in tow to in front of the CTD sensors and create artificial density inversions and other artifacts. In addition to Seasoft module LOOPEDIT, MATLAB program deloop.m computes values of density locally referenced between every 1 dbar of pressure to compute N^2 and linearly interpolates temperature, conductivity, and oxygen voltage over those records where N^2 is less than or equal to -1e-5 per s^2. MATLAB program calctd_1k.m or calctd_2k.m or calctd_3k.m applies final calibrations to temperature and conductivity, and computes salinity and calibrated oxygen. Program cnv_eps1.f and cnv_eps2.f computes ITS-90 temperature, theta, sigma-t, sigma-theta, and dynamic height; creates WOCE quality flags, and converts the ASCII data files into NetCDF format for PMEL's database. Program wocelst_ox.F converts the NetCDF files into WOCE format for submission to the WHPO, and creates WOCE .SUM files, one for each leg of the cruise. SALINITIES Primary TC data were selected from the primary package. These data were used to calibrate stations 1-34, 43-101, and 104-141. Secondary TC data were selected from the bad weather package. These data were used to calibrate stations 35-42, 102-103, and 142-150. Note that stations 144-150 used bad weather CTD s/n 209 in the primary package. Samples were collected by the CTD watchstander. A duplicate sample was collected from the deepest bottle. Salinity analysis was performed by Greg Johnson on leg 1, and Dave Wisegarver on leg 2. Analysis was done on the ship's autosalinometer using Ocean Scientific ACI2000 interface and IAPSO standard seawater batch P143 dated February 2003. The bath temperature was set to 24C. The ambient room temperature should be within 1 degree of the bath temperature, preferably cooler. Samples were left to equilibrate in the Autosal lab space for a minimum of 8 hours before analysis. The Autosal was standardized once a day. Sample salinities used to calibrate CTD conductivity sensors were obtained from the Data Manager at sea. However, salinity data were re-evaluated post-cruise and a linear drift correction between standardizations was applied. The final data set was produced at PMEL in December 2003. OXYGENS SBE 43 oxygen sensor s/n 315 was used on the primary package for stations 1-60. It had a noticeable trend from the onset but it wasn't confirmed until sample oxygens were reviewed. Sensor s/n 315 was swapped out for sensor s/n 313 prior to station 61. Sea- Bird has suggested that this membrane could've been frozen or torn before the cruise. SBE 43 oxygen sensor s/n 313 was used first on the bad weather package for stations 35-42 before going on the primary package prior to station 61. Starting at station 94, s/n 313 was not responding well to the new oxygen minimum below the thermocline. It was swapped out for sensor s/n 312 prior to station 122. SBE 43 oxygen sensor s/n 312 was used first on the bad weather package for stations 102-103. It was moved to the primary package prior to station 122 and used for the remainder of the cruise. Sample oxygens used to calibrate these sensors were obtained from the Data Manager at sea. However, oxygen data were re-evaluated post-cruise and the final data set was produced at AOML in September 2004. BOTTLE DATA Seasoft module ROSSUM created a bottle data file for each cast. These files were appended using program sbecal1k.f for primary sensor data or sbecal2k.f for secondary sensor data. Program addsalk3.f matched sample salinities to CTD salinities by station/sample number. MATLAB calibration programs were used to determine best fit groupings. The final results were a second order polynomial fit for stations 1-100 using the primary sensor pair; a third order polynomial fit for stations 101-141 using the primary sensor pair; a linear fit for stations 35-42 and stations 102-103 using the secondary sensor pair; and a linear fit with a station dependent slope for stations 142-150 using the secondary sensor pair.

Because of sensor hysteresis, MATLAB programs matched upcast oxygens to downcast oxygens by sigma-2. Coefficients were determined using run_oxygen_cal_1.m and saved in final.mat. Temperature viscous and drift corrections, conductivity coefficients, and oxygen coefficients were applied to the bottle data file using calclo_k.m. Quality flags for sample salinities were determined using MATLAB program sflag.m. Of the 4676 sample salinities, 0.6% were flagged as bad and 1% were flagged as questionable. Final CTDO bottle data, a16n_allo.flg, were given to John Bullister to incorporate into the master data file. For PMEL's database, individual bottle files for each cast were created in NetCDF format using clb_epso.f. APPENDIX WOCE QUALITY FLAG DEFINITIONS FOR WATER BOTTLES.

Could you check A16N_2003a files? I've sent the final carbon-related data (TCARBN (or TCO2), ALKALI, pH, and pCO2) for this section on 12/10/2004 to WHPO but did not see any changes in your files. When you merge these data, please make sure that you merge all four parameters, because from the first look it seems like TCARBN and pH are the same, but in reality we PIs changed some numbers and flags for both. 02/14/05 Kappa Cruise Report Replaced "Cruise Instructions" Added CTD Data Processing Report The bulk of this cruise report was submitted by Alex Kozyr on 12/10/04. It includes sections on: • TCARBN • Fugacity of CO2 • ALKALI • pH • Nutrients • Oxygen • Figures • Tables Both the PDF and ASCII cruise reports also contain the WHPO/CCHDO summary pages, and these Data Processing Notes. Figures are found only in the PDF version. The PDF version also has links from text to figures and tables, PDF bookmarks and PDF thumbnails. 03/10/05 McTaggart CTD Submitted Data Processing Report 03/15/05 Kappa Cruise Report Added CTD Data Processing report
