This dataset contains biological, chemical, and physical data collected on RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer during cruise NBP1005 in the South Pacific Ocean and Southern Ocean from 2010-12-14 to 2011-01-05. These data include Fe, chlorophyll a, depth, and particulate organic nitrogen. The instruments used to collect these data include CHN Elemental Analyzer, CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus, Niskin bottle, and Nutrient Autoanalyzer. These data were collected by Dr Robert M. Sherrell of Rutgers University and Dr Patricia L. Yager of University of Georgia as part of the "Collaborative Research: Investigating the Role of Mesoscale Processes and Ice Dynamics in Carbon and Iron Fluxes in a Changing Amundsen Sea (INSPIRE) (INSPIRE)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-04-17.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

2010-2011 ASPIRE station data used to develop 1-D and 3-D numerical models of Amundsen Sea

Dataset Description:
Hydrographic profiles and discrete water samples were collected from each station using a conventional shipboard conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD; Sea-Bird 911+) sensor and a 24 × 10 L Niskin bottle rosette sampler (General Oceanics). Potential temperature (θ) and salinity (S) were recorded continuously as a function of depth and at the moment of Niskin bottle closure (see Yager et al., 2016).

Trace-metal samples were collected similarly using a trace-metal-clean CTD-rosette system (see Sherrell et al., 2015) that was deployed at the same location just before or after the conventional CTD.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
Dissolved inorganic nutrient samples were pre-filtered through 0.45-μm polycarbonate syringe filters, kept refrigerated, and analyzed onboard the ship within 1 day of sampling. Nitrate (NO3−), nitrite (NO2−), am- monium (NH4+), phosphate (HPO42−), and silicic acid (Si(OH)4) were measured using a five-channel Lachat Instruments QuikChem FIA+ 8000s series autoanalyzer in conjunction with a Lachat Instruments XYZ AutoSampler (ASX-500 Series), two Lachat Instruments RP-100 Series peristaltic Reagent Pumps, and Omnion Software, version 3.0.220.02.

Seawater samples were analyzed for dissolved Fe over the period of January to August 2012, using an automated flow injection ICP-MS method developed at Rutgers University (Lagerström et al., 2013). Briefly, the automated device loaded a 9 mL aliquot of seawater, buffered online to pH 7.0 with 3 mL of acetic acid/ammonium hydroxide buffer, onto a column packed with Nobias PA1 chelating resin (Hitachi High-Technologies). The column was eluted with 1.5 M nitric acid directly into the nebulizer of an Element-1 sector field ICP-MS (Thermo-Finnigan, Bremen, Germany). The eluate, a 200-fold concentrate of the sample, was analyzed in medium resolution and temporal peak integration was performed in Matlab using a script written in-house. Quantification was carried out using isotope dilution (Fe, Ni, Cu and Zn) or a matrix-matched external standard curve (Mn).

Samples for particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PN) were collected by cleanly filtering 100–600 mL of seawater onto a 25-mm diameter, combusted GF/F filter (nominal pore size of 0.7 μm) which was then folded sample side in and frozen at −80°C. Samples were processed at Rutgers University and analyzed using a Carlo-Erba CHN analyzer (Hedges and Stern, 1984).

Water column Chl a concentration (used as a proxy for algal biomass) was measured onboard ship using acetone extraction and a spectrofluorometer (Alderkamp et al., 2015). Shipboard values were calibrated against a second set of samples collected similarly, flash-frozen in liquid N2, stored at −80°C, and analyzed at Mote Marine Lab using HPLC (Wright et al., 1991; see Alderkamp et al., 2015).
