Title: CFC-12, CFC-11, CFC-113, and SF6 concentration from US GEOTRACES EPZT cruise (R/V Thomas G. Thompson TN303) in the Eastern Tropical Pacific from October to December 2013 (NCEI Accession 0278526)
Abstract: This dataset contains physical data collected on R/V Thomas G. Thompson during cruise TN303 in the South Pacific Ocean from 2013-10-29 to 2013-12-18. These data include depth and water pressure. The instruments used to collect these data include Gas Chromatograph and Niskin bottle. These data were collected by Rana A. Fine of University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science as part of the "U.S. GEOTRACES East Pacific Zonal Transect (U.S. GEOTRACES EPZT)" project and "U.S. GEOTRACES (U.S. GEOTRACES)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2021-01-08.

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

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
Niskin samples: Samples were collected in 300 ml BOD bottles from the 30 liter Niskins and then analyzed via purge and trap capillary column gas chromatography with electron capture detection.

Underway samples: The ships underway system was directly plumbed to the CFC/SF6 system, so that that water sample fixed volume sample loop could be filled directly from the flowing water. Analysis was then carried out as it was from the bottle collected from the Niskins.
