©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This dataset includes the concentrations of seven major inorganic ions determined in near surface (approximately 5 m) seawater samples collected from the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) station during a summer cruise in 2021 (AE2113) and a winter cruise in 2023 (AE2303) aboard the R/V Atlantic Explorer. The major ions in each sample were quantified using a Dionex dual channel model ICS 6000 high-performance ion chromatograph (ICS-6000 DP). This dataset was generated and prepared by Dr....
Show moreUnfiltered seawater samples were collected using a Sea-Bird Electronic SBE conductivity, temperature, and pressure (CTD) sensors attached to a rosette. For major ion analysis, unfiltered seawater samples (ca. 7 mL) were stored in precleaned 10 mL Simport cryovials and frozen until further analysis using ion chromatography.
Seven major ionic species were analyzed using the method outlined in Keene et al. (2007). A Dionex dual channel model ICS 6000 high-performance ion chromatograph (ICS-6000 DP) was used to perform sample analysis. The anion channel was configured with Thermo Scientific Dionex guard (IonPac AG 18: 4 x 50 mm). The cation channel was configured with Dionex Guard (IonPac CG12 A: 4 x 50mm) and analytical (IonPacCG12A: 4 x 250mm) columns and a Thermo Scientific Dionex electrolytically regenerated suppressor (ADRS 600: 4mm). The ion chromatograph was equipped with a Dionex AS-AP autosampler with the temperature set at 20°C, eluent generator cartridges (500 MSA, 500 KOH), ICS-6000 pumps, and Chromeleon 7 software.
