The SOMMA systems were originally developed by Ken Johnson (Johnson et al.,1985,1987,1993; Johnson,1992; Wilke et al., 1993) of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).; Detailed sampling and analyzing information: Analyses conducted at NOAA PMEL. Measurements drawn according to procedures in the Guide to Best Practices for Ocean CO2 Measurements (Dickson et al., 2007). Borosilicate bottle were rinsed and filled from bottom, leaving a minimal amount of headspace while making sure no bubbles were introduced. Then 0.2 ml of saturated HgCl2 solution was added, bottles were sealed with glass stoppers lightly covered with Apiezon-L grease, and were stored at room temperature to be sent to PMEL for analysis.; Standardization description: Each coulometer was calibrated by injecting aliquots of pure CO2 (99.999%) by means of an 8-port valve (Wilke et al. 1993) outfitted with two calibrated sample loops of different sizes (~1 mL and ~2 mL). The instruments were each separately calibrated at the beginning of each cell with a minimum of two sets of these gas loop injections.; Standardization frequency: 1) Gas loops were run near the beginning of each cell;2) CRM’s supplied by Dr. A. Dickson of SIO, were also measured near the beginning; and3) Duplicate samples were typically run throughout the life of the cell solution.; CRM manufacturer: Andrew Dickson's lab at Scripps Institute of Oceanography; CRM batch number: 124, 143; Preservation method: Saturated Mercuric Chloride (HgCl2) Solution; Preservative volume: 0.2 ml; Preservative correction: The DIC values were corrected for dilution by 0.2 ml of saturated HgCl2 used for sample preservation. The total water volume of the sample bottles was 540 ml. The correction factor used for dilution was 1.00037.; Uncertainty: ±0.1%; Quality flag convention: WOCE water sample quality flag; Method reference: Dickson, A.G., Sabine, C.L. and Christian, J.R.

  • Parameter or Variable: Total alkalinity; Abbreviation: TALK_UMOL_KG; Unit: micromoles/kg; Observation type: Discrete measurements from samples collected on CTD casts; In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: in-situ observation; Measured or calculated: Measured; Calculation method and parameters: none; Sampling instrument: Niskin bottle - transferred to Borosilicate bottle; Analyzing instrument: Custom instrument, built at PMEL and modeled after an earlier generation of those made in Dr. Andrew Dickson's laboratory at Scripps Oceanographic Institution.; Type of titration: Two-stage, potentiometric, open-cell titration using coulometrically analyzed hydrochloric acid.; Cell type (open or closed): open; Curve fitting method: Non-linear least squares; Detailed sampling and analyzing information: Analyses conducted at PMEL. Samples run using remaining water from the same sample bottles used for DIC. Seawater total alkalinity (TA) was measured by acidimetric titration. The specific method used was based upon the open-cell method described by Dickson et al (2003). This method involves first acidifying the sample to reduce the sample pH of just over 3.5 followed by bubbling CO2-free air through the sample to facilitate removal of the CO2 evolved by the acid addition. After removal of the carbonate species from solution, the titration proceeds until a pH of just below 3.0 is attained, and the equivalence point evaluated from titration points in the pH region 3.0–3.5 using a non-linear least squares procedure that corrects for the reactions with sulfate and fluoride ions (Dickson et al. 2003). Titration progress is monitored by measuring the electromotive force (E) of a combination glass-reference electrode. Samples were drawn from the Niskin-type bottles into cleaned 500-ml borosilicate glass bottles using Tygon tubing with silicone ends. Bottles were rinsed three times and filled from the bottom, overflowing half a volume and taking care not to entrain any bubbles. The sample tube was closed off and withdrawn from the sample bottle, creating a 5 ml headspace. Samples were preserved by poisoning with 0.2 ml of a saturated HgCl2 solution. Sample bottles were sealed with glass stoppers lightly coated with Apiezon-L grease, and were stored in an air-conditioned laboratory on the research vessel. Samples were shipped to PMEL following cruise completion, and were stored at room temperature (21-25 °C) for a maximum of 12 hours prior to analysis. Titrations were carried out in water-jacketed, 250-ml beakers. The beakers were kept at 24.0 ± 0.2 °C with water from a constant temperature bath. Prior to analysis, samples were placed in the water bath to bring them to the same temperature as the reaction beakers. Seawater samples were dispensed into the water-jacketed beaker using a fixed-volume glass syringe. A Metrohm Dosimat 765 was used to deliver acid to the sample beaker in increments of 0.040 ml. The acid titrant used was 0.1 mol/kg HCl prepared in 0.6 mol/kg NaCl background to approximate the ionic strength of seawater (0.7 mol/kg). Instrument control and data acquisition was with custom software developed in Andrew Dickson's laboratory at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and modified by a former employee of the NOAA/PMEL Carbon Group using the National Instruments LabView programming environment. Typical titrations were completed in 10-14 minutes and required 20-24 acid additions to reach a pH of 3.0.; Standardization description: Duplicate samples are run in addition to Certified Reference Material (CRM), supplied by Dr. A. Dickson of UCSD; Standardization frequency: Along with duplicate samples being run throughout, CRMs are run at the beginning and end of each sampling period; CRM manufacturer: Andrew Dickson's lab at Scripps Institute of Oceanography; CRM batch number: 124, 142, 143; Preservation method: Saturated Mercuric Chloride (HgCl2) Solution; Preservative volume: 0.2 ml; Preservative correction: The TA values were corrected for the resulting dilution of the added 0.2 ml of saturated HgCl2 used for sample preservation.; Uncertainty: ±0.1%; Quality flag convention: WOCE water sample quality flag; Method reference: • Bates, R.G.

  • Parameter or Variable: Hydrostatic pressure recorded from CTD at the depth where the sample was taken.; Abbreviation: PRESSURE_DB_CTD; Unit: decibar; Observation type: CTD Profile; In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation; Measured or calculated: measured; Sampling instrument: NA; Analyzing instrument: Seabird Electronics 19+ CTD; Duration: one-time measurement; Uncertainty: ±0.1%; Researcher name: Hannah Barkley; Researcher institution: NMFS/PIFSC/ESD.
  • Parameter or Variable: Pressure calculated from depth (using the R package "oce") for samples not associated with a CTD cast.; Abbreviation: PRESSURE_DB_CALCULATED; Unit: decibar; Measured or calculated: Calculated; Calculation method and parameters: Pressure was calculated from depth using the R package "oce"; Duration: one-time measurement; Researcher name: Hannah Barkley; Researcher institution: NMFS/PIFSC/ESD.
  • Parameter or Variable: Depth at which sample was collected.; Abbreviation: DEPTH_METER; Unit: meters; Measured or calculated: measured; Sampling instrument: Dive computer or marked niskin line.; Duration: one-time measurement; Detailed sampling and analyzing information: Sample depth was measured using either a dive computer (for benthic samples collected on SCUBA) or a marked niskin line (for surface samples collected from a small boat). For benthic samples, depth was recorded off of a wrist-mounted dive computer held adjacent to the niskin as it was triggered. For surface samples, depth was measured using 1m increments marked on the niskin line.; Researcher name: Hannah Barkley; Researcher institution: NMFS/PIFSC/ESD.
  • Parameter or Variable: In situ temperature recorded from CTD with the scale of ITS-90.; Abbreviation: TEMPERATURE_ITS90_CTD; Unit: degrees Celsius; Observation type: CTD Profile; In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation; Measured or calculated: measured; Sampling instrument: Seabird Electronics 19+ CTD; Duration: one-time measurement; Uncertainty: ± 0.005 degrees Celsius; Quality flag convention: WOCE CTD quality flag; Researcher name: Hannah Barkley; Researcher institution: NMFS/PIFSC/ESD.
  • Parameter or Variable: Temperature recorded by the Scientific Computer System (SCS) with the scale of ITS-90.; Abbreviation: TEMPERATURE_ITS90_SCS; Unit: degrees Celsius; Observation type: surface underway; In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation; Measured or calculated: measured; Sampling instrument: SeaBird 38 Digital External Thermometer; Duration: one-time measurement; Detailed sampling and analyzing information: Temperature was measured by an externally mounted SBE 38 Digital Oceanographic Thermometer, located on the forward hull of the NOAA ship adjacent to the starboard side bow thruster at 2m depth. SCS values for temperature were only used for nearshore water samples if no other in-situ temperature data were available, and were calculated from the SCS time series at the same TIMESTAMP_UTC as the sample.; Uncertainty: ± 0.001 degrees Celsius (SBE38). Shipboard SCS temperature data, collected offshore of the reef, are spatially separated from the location of nearshore water sample data, collected by small boats, and may not accurately reflect nearshore conditions.; Researcher name: Hannah Barkley; Researcher institution: NMFS/PIFSC/ESD.
  • Parameter or Variable: Salinity calculated from conductivity recorded by CTD using the equation of the Practical Salinity Scale of 1978; Abbreviation: SALINITY_PSS78_CTD; Observation type: CTD Profile; In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: In-situ observation; Measured or calculated: measured; Analyzing instrument: Seabird Electronics 19+ CTD; Duration: one-time measurement; Uncertainty: ±0.0005 S/m; Quality flag convention: WOCE CTD quality flag; Researcher name: Hannah Barkley; Researcher institution: NMFS/PIFSC/ESD.
  • Parameter or Variable: Salinity calculated from conductivity measured from discrete bottles using the equation of the Practical Salinity Scale of 1978; Abbreviation: SALINITY_PSS78_BOTTLE; Unit: 1978 Practical Salinity Scale; Measured or calculated: Calculated; Calculation method and parameters: Measured values corrected to average offset of CTD and bottle samples; Sampling instrument: 500ml borosilicate glass bottle; Analyzing instrument: Seabird SBE4, modified to connect with the SOMMA systems PMEL1 and PMEL2.; Detailed sampling and analyzing information: These SBE4 salinity values are designed to be used only for the density correction to the SOMMA pipettes. The numbers provided for these 3 samples (flask 42 to 44) were corrected from the measured value by the average offset which was 0.087.; Replicate information: None; Uncertainty: The uncertainty could be as much as plus or minus 0.5. As an example, if one were to increase salinity by 0.5, then the CO2sys calculated pH would drop by ~0.006, pCO2 rises up by 6, WAragonite goes down by 0.001. Bottle salinity values are only used if CTD salinity data are not available.; Quality flag convention: WOCE water sample quality flag; Researcher name: Dana Greeley, Julian Herndon, and Morgan Ostendorf (contact PI Simone Alin for all inquiries); Researcher institution: Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; and Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean, University of Washington.
