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).;

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..

bottle
bottle
any type of water bottle sampling device
Generic name for water collection device; usually used to determine temperature, salinity and provide water aliquots for measurement of a wide range of parameters; often referred to by a specific type of water sampling bottle, such as a Nansen or Niskin bottle.
CTD
CTD
Conductivity-Temperature-Depth probe
PAR Sensor
PAR Sensor
Photosynthetically Active Radiation Sensor
The PAR sensor measures global solar radiation from 400 to 700 nm, which approximates the spectral band active in photosynthesis. The response of the instrument falls sharply to zero on either side of this band, and between 400 and 670 nm it increases monotonically from about 50% to 100%. There is no protective glass dome over the receiving surface. Irradiance from the sun passes through a small white visible bandpass filter/diffuser in the shape of a horizontal disk at the top of the instrument. Within the instrument radiation is directed through a series of colored glass filters and onto a silicon photodiode detector. The factory-supplied calibration converts the signal from the detector to a flux of photons in micro-mole (of photons) s-1 m-2. (One micro-mole equals 6.022 E17 photons.) For the solar spectrum, these units may be converted to watts per square meter by dividing by 4.6.
