Processing Steps
  • Parameter or Variable: Dissolved Inorganic Carbon; Abbreviation: DIC; Observation type: discrete; In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation; Measured or calculated: Calculated; Replicate information: Replicate seawater samples were taken from the surface, 1000 m, and bottom Niskin sample bottles and run at different times during the cell. No systematic biases were discerned and the average difference of the samples was 1.0 μmol/kg for surface values; 1.2 μmol/kg for duplicate samples at 1000 m and 1.4 μmol/kg for duplicate samples near the bottom.; Standardization description: The coulometers were calibrated by injecting aliquots of pure CO2 (99.995%) by means of an 8-port valve outfitted with two sample loops that had been calibrated by Kelly Brown, CCN Consulting (Wilke, 1993); CRM batch number: 59.
