Concentrations of aerosol trace elements collected from bulk aerosol samples on the 2015 US GEOTRACES Western Arctic Transect cruise on USCGC Healy (HLY1502) from August to October 2015 (NCEI Accession 0277266)
This dataset contains chemical data collected on USCGC Healy during cruise HLY1502 in the Arctic Ocean, Bering Sea, and East Siberian Sea from 2015-08-10 to 2015-10-09. These data include depth and metal concentration in atmosphere. The instruments used to collect these data include Aerosol Sampler and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer. These data were collected by William M. Landing of Florida State University, Yuan Gao of Rutgers University, and Clifton S. Buck of Skidaway Institute of Oceanography as part of the "Collaborative Research: GEOTRACES Arctic Section: Sampling and Analysis of Atmospheric Deposition (GEOTRACES Arctic Atmospheric Deposition)" and "U.S. Arctic GEOTRACES Study (U.S. GEOTRACES Arctic)" projects and "U.S. GEOTRACES (U.S. GEOTRACES)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

Supplemental Information | Acquisition Description: A total of fourteen 3-4 day integrated aerosol samples were collected during the US GEOTRACES Western Arctic research cruise (hereafter known as GN01), which took place from 9th August to 12th October 2015 on the USCGC Healy (cruise HLY1502). The cruise track consisted of a northward transect from Dutch Harbor, Alaska, across the Bering Sea, through the Bering Strait and across the Makarov Basin to the North Pole, followed by a return transect across the Canada Basin and back across the Bering Sea to Dutch Harbor. Bulk aerosol samples for multiple trace element analyses were collected using one of five Tisch Environmental high-volume (~1 m³ air min⁻¹) aerosol samplers (model 5170V-BL). For each deployment, 12 replicate 47 mm diameter Whatman 41 filters were loaded on open-face filter holders (Advantec MFS) installed on the aerosol sampler on a PVC adaptor plate (Shelley et al., 2015). Filters were acid-washed before use to reduce trace element blanks, following the procedure described by Morton et al. (2013). The samplers were deployed on the ship's flying bridge, ~23 m above sea level, to minimize the influence of sea spray on samples. Samplers were controlled by wind speed and direction, through a Campbell Scientific CR800 data-logger interfaced with an anemometer and wind vane set up in close proximity to the samplers, in order to eliminate contamination from the ship's stack exhaust. This setup was used to restrict sampling to periods when relative wind speed and direction were >0.5 m s⁻¹ and from within ±60° of the bow of the ship, respectively, for at least five continuous minutes. Total aerosol was analyzed on a ThermoScientific Element2 high-resolution ICP-MS at Florida State University. |
