PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from unknown platforms in the South Pacific Ocean and Southern Oceans (> 60 degrees South) from 2010-12-28 to 2014-02-21. These data include DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON (DIC), NITRATE, SALINITY, TOTAL ALKALINITY (TA), WATER TEMPERATURE, phosphate and silicate. The instruments used to collect these data include Alkalinity titrator, CTD, Coulometer for DIC measurement and bottle. These data were collected by Hugh Venables of British Antarctic Survey and Dorothee Bakker and Oliver Legge of University of East Anglia; School of Environmental Sciences as part of the TSM_Ryder_Bay_67S_68W_2010_2014 data set. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this data set: TSM_Ryder_Bay_67S_68W_2010_2014

VARIABLES / PARAMETERS:

Total alkalinity
Abbreviation: DIC
Unit: μmol/kg
Observation type: time series
Measured or calculated: measured
Sampling instrument: Niskin Bottle
Analyzing instrument: VINDTA and coulometer
Detailed sampling and analyzing information: Unfiltered samples drawn from Niskin bottle using silicon tubing. Poisoned with mercuric chloride. Sealed with greased stopper. Cool, dark storage. Analysed by Coulometry. Samples analysed in three batches, corresponding to three field seasons (2011-2012, 2012-2013, 2013-2014). Samples analysed on two VINDTAs (V4 and V7).
Replicate information: Replicate analyses (separate bottles) for almost all samples
Standardization description: CRM batch 107
Standardization frequency: Two or three CRMs per coulometer cell
CRM manufacturer: Andrew Dickson's lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography
CRM batch number: 107
Preservation method: mercuric chloride
Preservative volume: 50uL for 250mL samples, 100uL for 500mL
Preservative correction: volume correction applied for poison
Uncertainty: The standard deviation of CRM measurements over the course of each analysis period is consistently less than 2.5 μmol/kg. There is greater variation in replicate precision between the three field seasons. DIC replicate (separate bottles) standard deviation in 2010-2012 was 4.3 μmol kg-1. In 2012-2013 it was 6.2 μmol kg-1 and in 2013-2014 it was 3.4 μmol kg-1.
Quality flag convention: 2 = good, 3 = suspect, 6 = mean of replicates
