Nitrate isotope measurements from CTD niskin depth profiles from cruise JR17005 in the Fram Strait during May-June 2018.

Nitrate isotope samples were collected onboard the RRS James Clark Ross in the Fram Strait from 8th May - 8th June 2018 as part of the Changing Arctic Ocean programme. Seawater samples were filtered inline from the Niskin bottles, and frozen at -20degC until analysis on land. Samples were measured f...

Description
Summary:Nitrate isotope samples were collected onboard the RRS James Clark Ross in the Fram Strait from 8th May - 8th June 2018 as part of the Changing Arctic Ocean programme. Seawater samples were filtered inline from the Niskin bottles, and frozen at -20degC until analysis on land. Samples were measured for δ 15 N-NO3 and δ 18 O-NO3 of nitrate using the Denitrifier method and bacterial strain P. aureofaciens. Samples were corrected using international reference standards IAEA-N3 and USGS-34 and an internal standard of North Atlantic Deep Water was run to check for inter-run comparability. Final values were calculated using the correction scheme of Weigand et al., (2016) with reproducibility of 0.1 and 0.3‰ for δ 15 N-NO3 and δ 18 O-NO3 respectively.
