Nutrient data are from Nisken Bottle samples collected and measured onboard Meteor Expedition 148/2 “EreBUS”. Concentrations of dissolved inorganic phosphate (PO4), nitrite (NO2), NOx (nitrate+nitrite), and dissolved silicate (Si) were measured with the QuAAtro39 autoanalyser (Seal Analytical) using...

Summary: | Nutrient data are from Nisken Bottle samples collected and measured onboard Meteor Expedition 148/2 “EreBUS”. Concentrations of dissolved inorganic phosphate (PO4), nitrite (NO2), NOx (nitrate+nitrite), and dissolved silicate (Si) were measured with the QuAAtro39 autoanalyser (Seal Analytical) using the method based on Strickland and Parsons, 1972. OSIL Seawater Low-Nutrient Standards were employed as secondary standards to check primary standard calibrations. Nitrate values are the calculated difference between NOx and nitrite. To determine Minimal Quantifiable Limit (MQL) for NOx, nitrite, phosphate and silicate we examined the variability (standard deviation, σ) around OSIL low-nutrient seawater concentrations and set MQL = 0 + 3σ. Ammonium (NH4+) was measured shipboard using the ortho-Phthaldialdehyde (OPA) fluorescence method (Holmes et al. 1999). MQLs for the offshore stations were based on values that fell below zero after calculating the concentration based on the calibration curves established for ... |
