HPLC 01JAN 10 Jan 01 through 24 Jan 01 Samples taken from rosette Go-Flo bottles and analyzed with HPLC for pigments. year, julian day, date, latitude (decimal degrees), longitude (decimal degrees), LTER grid line, LTER grid station, irradiance (%), LTER event #, depth (m), chlorophyll c2 (ug/l), 19'-butanoyloxyfucoxanthin (ug/l), fucoxanthin (ug/l), 19'-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin (ug/l), diadinoxanthin (ug/l), diatoxanthin (ug/l), zeaxanthin (ug/l), lutein (ug/l), chlorophyll b (ug/l), chlorophyll a (ug/l), alpha carotene (ug/l) Water was sampled at all stations with the exception of the Palmer inshore stations F -J, from Go-Flo bottles tripped at the surface, and bottles tripped at depths corresponding to 50, 25, 10, 5, and 1 percent of measured surface PAR. Samples were filtered onto GF/F filters and frozen in liquid nitrogen for a minimum of 24 hours. Filters were extracted in 90% acetone for 24 hours at -60 degrees Celsius. Samples were then injected onto a C8 150mm column and separated by HPLC using a method adapted from Zapata et al, 2000. Peaks were identified by diode array spectrum analysis and by retention times of standards obtained from DHI Water & Environment and integrated using Hewlett Packard's 1100 Series system; concentrations were calculated based on external standard curves in Microsoft Excel. Water sampled from Go-Flo bottles, which corresponded to light levels used in primary productivity simulated in situ experiments (see Sampling Frequency, above).
