nutrientsdi 0102pal 19 October 2001 through 18 March 2002 Samples taken from Go-Flo bottles and analyzed at Palmer Station, Antarctica using a Alpkem Flow Solutions IV segmented flow nutrient analyzer. year, day, date, station, GMT (h), GMT (min), latitude (degrees), latitude (minutes), longitude (degrees), longitude (minutes), irradiance (%), depth (m), event #, phosphate (uM), silicate (uM), nitrite (uM), nitrate, ammonium(uM). nitrate (uM) calculated from difference of measured variables nitrite + nitrate (uM) and nitrite (uM). Water was sampled from Palmer inshore Stations B and E twice weekly. Water from Go-Flo bottles was emptied into a clean, rinsed bucket, sub-sampled directly from the bucket on board the zodiac and stored in rinsed amber Nalgene bottles in coolers for up to two hours until sampling was complete. Upon return to station, samples were transferred to 20ml polyethylene scintillation vials with Teflon lined lids for storage at -70 Celsius until analysis at the Marine Science Institute in Santa Barbara, CA, on a Lachet QuickChem 800 flow injection nutrient analyzer. Water was sampled from a zodiac at Palmer inshore stations E and B using Go-Flo bottles at the surface and at depths corresponding to the following percentages of the surface photosynthetically available radiation (PAR): 50, 25, 10, 5 and 1. Surface water was also collected and analyzed from the Palmer Station seawater intake vicinity when full water column sampling could not be completed." nutrients, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, ammonium ASCII, comma separated /data/0102pal/nutrientsdi pal0102.nuts Dr. Maria Vernet, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, San Diego, CA mvernet@ucsd.edu Dr. Maria Vernet, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, San Diego, CA mvernet@ucsd.edu Wendy Kozlowski, Lisa Ferber, Tim Brox, Jordan Watson, Karen Pelletreau, Micheal Thimgan, Karie Sines Karie Sines Karie Sines Karie Sines Wendy Kozlowski 07 June 2004 "A Suggested Protocol for Continuous Flow Automated Analysis of Seawater Nutrients", Louis I.

Note that all samples were frozen at a minimum of -20 degrees Celsius from the time of collection to the time of analysis, up to seven months after sample collection." Ammonia analyte may be effected by the freezing process. BON represents surface water samples collected from Palmer Bonaparte Point area in Arthur Harbor when ice prevented open water collection. SWI represents surface water samples collected from Palmer Sea Water Intake area in Arthur Harbor when ice prevented open water collection.
