Description
Summary:Here we present the concentrations of inorganic nutrients, dissolved organic carbon, nitrogen and phophorus and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) from discrete water samples collected with a CTD-rosette during the European Iron Fertilization Experiment (EIFEX). The experiment was carried out from February 11 to March 20, 2004 in the 60-km diameter, rotating core of an eddy, formed by a meander of the Antarctic Polar Front (centred at around 49°10' S and 2°10' E). Samples were taken within the eddy inside and outside the fertilized patch, and in a few cases outside the eddy. Inorganic nutrients (silicate, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite and ammonium) were measured with a Technicon Autoanalyser II system using standard methods. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was determined by high temperature combustion using a TOC-VCPH/CPN (Shimadzu) according to Skoog et al. (1997). Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) was measured on an Evolution continuous flow analyser (Alliance Instruments) after Valderrama (1981). Dissolved ...
