  • Parameter or Variable: Dissolved Inorganic Carbon; Abbreviation: DIC; Observation type: discrete; In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation; Measured or calculated: Calculated; Detailed sampling and analyzing information: Measurements of CT were made with two total CO2 measuring systems (systems-C and -D; Nippon ANS, Inc.), which are slightly different from each other. The systems comprise of a seawater dispensing system, a CO2 extraction system and a coulometer (Model 3000, Nippon ANS, Inc.).; CRM batch number: 112.
  • Parameter or Variable: Total alkalinity; Abbreviation: TA; Observation type: discrete; In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation; Measured or calculated: Measured; Type of titration: spectrophotometry; 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 Scan, Varian), which are automatically controlled by a PC.; Uncertainty: The average and standard deviation of absolute values of differences of AT analyzed consecutively were 0.5 and 0.4 μmol kg-1 (n = 96), and 0.5 and 0.4 μmol kg-1 (n = 88) for legs 2 and 3, respectively. The combined values were calculated to be 0.5 and 0.4 μmol kg-1 (n = 184).; Method reference: ao, W. and R. H. Byrne (1998): Simplified seawater alkalinity analysis: Use of linear array spectrometers. Deep- Sea Research I 45, 1383-1392..
  • Parameter or Variable: pH; Abbreviation: pH; 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: Measurement of pH was made by a pH measuring system (Nippon ANS, Inc.), which adopts spectrophotometry. The system comprises of a water dispensing unit and a spectrophotometer (Carry 50 Scan, Varian).25; Uncertainty: The average and standard deviation of absolute values of differences of pH analyzed consecutively were 0.0006 and 0.0006 pH unit (n = 116), and 0.0008 and 0.0010 pH unit (n = 109) for legs 1 and 2, respectively. The combined values were 0.0007 and 0.0008 pH unit (n = 225). We compared observed pH and pH calculated from CT and AT. The average and standard deviation was 0.0102 and 0.0072 pH unit, respectively. Thus the accuracy of pH was estimated to be 0.01 pH unit at best..
