From: Maribel García-Ibáñez Date: Fri, Mar 25, 2022 at 12:17 PM Subject: [CARIMED] - Update of NCEI cruise metadata and files for 29AJ20130502 To: Alex Kozyr - NOAA Affiliate Cc: Marta Álvarez Hi Alex, Regarding NCEI cruise metadata and files for cruise 29AJ20130502, here are the actions to be made on the NCEI website: Changes for data files on the NCEI file repository for 29AJ20130502: It should include the files contained in the Google Drive folder for the cruise: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13Dg7dAuEbjFz39GJiyVzcH9pyoLHsPVm Reupload the data file (file: 29AJ20130502_hy1.csv). Upload the map (file: map_cruise_29AJ20130502.tif). Changes for metadata information on NCEI for 29AJ20130502: The INVESTIGATORS and Principal Investigators should be Patrizia Ziveri and Jordi Garcia-Orellana, both with the affiliation of Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). "VARIABLES/PARAMETERS" fields: For Dissolved Inorganic Carbon: Add field "Detailed sampling and analyzing information: For the determination of alkalinity and total inorganic carbon, seawater samples were collected, at all stations and depths, into washed 500 ml borosilicate glass bottles, according to standard operational protocol. A small headspace (< 1 %) was adjusted to prevent pressure build-up and loss of CO2 during storage. Few drops of a saturated solution of HgCl2 were added to the samples in order to avoid any biological activity. Then, the samples were stored in the dark at constant temperature (~ 4 ºC) until their analysis on shore (IMAGES laboratory, Perpignan, France). The measurement of these two parameters was performed simultaneously by potentiometric acid titration using a closed cell. The principle and procedure of measurements, as well as a complete description of the system used to perform accurate analysis can be found in DOE (1994). The precision of alkalinity and total inorganic carbon analysis was determined to be ± 2 μmol kg-1 for alkalinity and ± 4 μmol kg-1 for total inorganic carbon, by titration of 261 samples, collected at the same conditions of temperature and S, from Banyuls Sur Mer, South France. The accuracy of alkalinity and total inorganic carbon measurements was determined to be ± 1 μmol kg-1 for alkalinity and ± 4 μmol kg-1 for total inorganic carbon by analyzing a total of 26 bottles of three different batches of Certified Reference Material (Andrew Dickson, CA, USA, batches 85, 86 and 128).". Update the field "Researcher name:" with the following info: "C. Goyet (IMAGES) & A.E.R. Hassoun (CNRS-L)" Remove the field "Researcher institution: National Council for Scientific Research". This parameter should appear after the nutrients. For Total alkalinity: The abbreviation should be ALKALI. Add the field "Sampling instrument: Niskin Bottles".
