Description
Summary:Melt ponds water sampling for biogeochemical parameters such as dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (TA), oxygen isotopes were examined from August to September 2020. To obtain discrete water samples from the melt ponds and leads, we checked the vertical structure and depth of the meltwater layer from the same hole used for the RINKO Profiler by attaching a conductivity sensor (Cond 315i, WTW GmbH, Germany) to a 2-m-long ruler and inserting the ruler into the lead water until the salinity measured with the Cond 315i increased at the meltwater–seawater interface (Nomura et al., 2024) . Water was pumped up with a peristaltic pump through a 2-m-long PTFE tube (L/S Pump Tubing, Masterflex, USA) at depths corresponding to meltwater (surface), the interface between meltwater and seawater (interface), and seawater (bottom). Salinity was measured at each depth by attaching a Cond 315i conductivity sensor to the bottom of the ruler. The tube intake was likewise attached to the bottom of the ruler. ...
