Brown ABACO, Eastern Boundary Current cruise RB06-02 (EXPOCODE 33RO20060312), in the North Atlantic ocean from 2006-03-12 to 2006-03-28. Increasing amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide from human industrial activities are causing changes in global ocean carbon chemistry resulting in a reduction in pH, a process termed ocean acidification. In support of the coastal monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP), the South Florida Project Cruises (SFP) are utilized to collect water samples to measure water inorganic carbon and hydrographic parameters including nutrients. To measure key carbon, physical and biogeochemical parameters in surface waters and monitor changes over time.

CRM value measured: AOML 1: offset 9.9 umol/kg (1897.7 umol/kg) AOML-2: offset 7.4 umol/kg (1900.2 umol/kg) The average run time was 13 minutes, the minimum run time was 9 minutes and the maximum run time was 20 minutes. Reproducibility: (# samples and average difference): 6 sets of duplicate samples, average difference 1.1 umol/kg. CRM, salinity and HgCl2 correction applied: yes Remarks- A density correction was applied for all the samples. Due to added HgC12 (measured DIC*1.00037), a volume correction was applied for all the samples. The average CRM correction was 8.7 umol/kg and was run at the beginning and end of the cell. If the cell’s lifetime reached it, a CRM was also run at 12 mg of C. The first CRM of each cell was used for a CRM correction. There was good agreement between the duplicate samples. The CTD temperature and salinity was interpolated by Carlos Fonseca for the following samples: Station 57/Niskin Bottle 2 Station 62/Niskin Bottle 16 The DIC sample bottle number 104 was not found in the sampling sheets. It was estimated to be station 20/Niskin bottle 8 by Carlos Fonseca and added as such. During the cruise, there was some confusion about how to secure the top to the sample bottles with rubber bands. The coulometers had not been used for several months. Acid delivery valve #8 and drain valve #9 malfunctioned and needed to be replaced.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer measures gaseous carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide gas analyzer has often been referred to as LI-COR, because a lot of researchers choose to use products manufactured by LI-COR incorporation for their carbon dioxide measurement. The main component of a carbon dioxide analyzer is a nondispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopic sensors to detect CO2 in a gaseous environment by its characteristic absorption. Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer works together with carbon dioxide (CO2) equilibrator (insttypes_id 184) to measure carbon dioxide in the water. To measure water carbon dioxide, water needs to be continuously supplied to a showerhead inside an equilibrator. As the water flows through the equilibrator chamber, dissolved carbon dioxide exchanges quickly with air in the headspace. This air is then sampled by the carbon dioxide analyzer to determine the mole fraction of CO2 in water.
