VARIABLES / PARAMETERS:

Dissolved Inorganic Carbon
Abbreviation: DIC
Observation type: discrete
In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation
Measured or calculated: Calculated
Replicate information: 328 samples reported as duplicates. Average absolute difference from the mean = 0.61
Standardization description: 1) Gas Calibation Loops (~1 and 2ml) w/ 99.999% pure CO2 using an 8 port valco 2) Certified Reference Materials
CRM batch number: 124 - certified value = 2015.72
Total alkalinity
Abbreviation: TA
Observation type: discrete
In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation
Measured or calculated: Measured
Type of titration: Two-state, open-cell, potentiometric titration with HCl (~0.1 mol/kg) in an NaCl background.
Cell type (open or closed): open cell
Curve fitting method: Non-linear least squares - see Dickson et al. (2007)
TA blank correction: N/A
Uncertainty: The repeatability (1 std. dev.) of ALK measurements (estimated from duplicate analyses of seawater) was 0.96 µmol/kg (307 pairs) Measurements of seawater reference materials throughout the cruise gave a result of 2214.66 ± 1.02 (389) µmol/kg - mean ± std. dev (n) As the certified value was 2215.08 ± 0.49 µmol/kg, no further adjustment was considered necessary. The overall standard uncertainty of these measurements is thus approximately 1.5 µmol/kg.

pH
Abbreviation: pH
pH scale: total hydrogen ion concentration (mol/kg-soln)
Observation type: discrete
In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation
Measured or calculated: Measured
Temperature of pH measurement: 25 DegC
Detailed sampling and analyzing information: spectrophotometric determination using purified m-cresol purple
Uncertainty: The repeatability (1 std. dev.) of pH measurements (estimated from duplicate analyses of seawater) was 0.0010 pH units (301 pairs). The standard deviation from measurements on seawater reference materials made throughout the cruise was 0.0014 pH units (n = 362). The overall standard uncertainty is harder to judge. Carter et al. (2013) estimated it as about 0.005, assuming an uncertainty contribution from the dye calibration equivalent to 0.004 in pH. I suspect it could be larger — we are working to better understand this.
