VARIABLES / PARAMETERS:

Dissolved Inorganic Carbon
Abbreviation: TCARBN
Unit: UMOL/KG
Observation type: discrete
In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation
Measured or calculated: Calculated
Detailed sampling and analyzing information: Coulometric
Standardization description: Measurement of CT was made with two total CO2 measuring systems (called as Systems C and D, respectively; Nippon ANS, Inc.), which were slightly different from each other. The systems comprised of a seawater dispensing system, a CO2 extraction system and a coulometer. In this cruise, we used a same type (Model 3000, Nippon ANS) of coulometers, for Systems C and D, respectively.
CRM batch number: CRMs, batch 121, certified value = 2039.26 μmol kg-1
Total alkalinity
Abbreviation: ALKALI
Unit: UMOL/KG
Observation type: discrete
In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation
Measured or calculated: Measured
Type of titration: Gran
Cell type (open or closed): Close
Curve fitting method: Measurement of AT was made based on spectrophotometry using a custom-made system (Nippon ANS, Inc.). The system comprises of a water dispensing unit, an auto-burette (765 Dosimat, Metrohm), and a spectrophotometer (Carry 50 Bio, Varian), which are automatically controlled by a PC.
Uncertainty: The repeatability of measurements was estimated to be 0.6 μmol kg-1, which was calculated from 211 differences of replicate measurements.

pH
Abbreviation: PH_TOT
pH scale: Total Scale
Observation type: discrete
In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation
Measured or calculated: Measured
Temperature of pH measurement: 25 °C
Detailed sampling and analyzing information: For an indicator solution, m-cresol purple (2 mM) was used. The indicator solution was produced on board a ship, and retained in a 1000 ml DURAN® laboratory bottle. We renewed an indicator solution 3 times when the headspace of the bottle became large, and monitored pH or absorbance ratio of the indicator solution by another spectrophotometer (Carry 50 Scan, Varian) using a cell with a short path length of 0.5 mm. In most indicator solutions, the absorbance ratios of the indicator solution were kept mostly between 1.4 and 1.6 by adding acid or alkali solution appropriately.
Uncertainty: It is recommended that correction for pH change resulting from addition of indicator solutions is made (Dickson et al., 2007). To check the perturbation of pH due to the addition, we measured absorbance ratios by doubling the volume of indicator solutions added to a same seawater sample. We corrected absorbance ratios based on an empirical method (Dickson et al., 2007), although the perturbations were small. Figure 3.7.1 illustrates a perturbation of absorbance ratios by adding indicator solutions for leg 2 in MR12-05 cruise. For 93 leg 3, the tendency was not significant statistically. Thus for correction, a value of 6.3364×10-5 was subtracted from the measured values. The reported values, which are the total scale, were set to the values at 25°C by the CO2 system calculation using data for pH and CT with K1 and K2 from Mehrbach et al. (1973) refit by Dickson and Millero (1987). The repeatability of measurements was estimated to be 0.0005 pH unit, which was calculated from 318 differences of replicate measurements.
