During September 23 to November 22, 2018, the R/V Roger Revelle completed a trace element (and their isotopes) hydrographic section along ~152° West from 56° North to 20° South (GEOTRACES GP15). Full water column trace metal clean samples were obtained with the U.S. GEOTRACES Carousel (GTC) composed of 24 12-liter trace metal clean GO-Flow sampling systems mounted on a trace metal free powder-coated titanium rosette system. Three of the stations had lead (Pb) concentrations determined at Massach...
Show moreDuring September 23 to November 22, 2018, the R/V Roger Revelle completed a trace element (and their isotopes) hydrographic section along ~152° West from 56° North to 20° South (GEOTRACES GP15; cruise IDs RR1814 and RR1815). Full water column trace metal clean samples were obtained with the U.S. GEOTRACES Carousel (GTC) composed of 24 12-liter trace metal clean GO-Flow sampling systems mounted on a trace metal free powder-coated titanium rosette system. Two-liter samples were drawn into TE clean high-density polyethylene bottles with polypropylene lids, double-bagged, and returned to the shore lab where they were acidified to pH 2 with TE clean hydrochloric acid and allowed to sit for at least one month prior to sample analysis.
Three of the stations had lead (Pb) concentrations determined at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by isotope dilution quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) (VG Plasmaquad 2+) for intercalibration with the Texas A&M (TAMU) lab of Jessica Fitzsimmons who analyzed all of the cruise stations. The rest of the full- and super-stations were analyzed at MIT for Pb isotope ratios (206Pb/207Pb, 208Pb/207Pb, 206Pb/204Pb) after Pb extraction and purification on a GV Isoprobe multicollector magnetic sector plasma mass spectrometer with calibration to NBS981 standard.
