The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

Title: Seawater Nd isotopes and concentrations from the US-GEOTRACES North Atlantic zonal transect (NAZT), 2010 and 2011 on cruises KN199-04 and KN204-01, analyzed at LDEO (NCEI Accession 0294380)
Abstract: This dataset contains chemical data collected on R/V Knorr during cruises KN199-04 and KN204-01 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2010-10-16 to 2011-12-10. These data include Nd, Nd143_144, and depth. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird, GeoFish Towed near-Surface Sampler, Mass Spectrometer, and Niskin bottle. These data were collected by Leopoldo D. Pena Gonzalez and Steven L. Goldstein of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Katharina Pahnke-May of University of Hawaii, Torben Stichel of University of Hawaii at Manoa, and Howard Scher of University of South Carolina as part of the "U.S. GEOTRACES North Atlantic Transect (U.S. GEOTRACES NAT)" 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 2022-05-13.

Pre-concentration

Spiked with 146 Nd prior to co-precipitation with FeOOH (~20mg Fe per sample)

Spiked with 150 Nd prior to co-precipitation with FeOOH (~20mg Fe per sample)

Nd and REE extraction with C18 cartridges, not spiked

Chromatographic separation

2-step separation:
1. 1.4ml AG50W-X8 (200-400µm) as primary column. 2. 0.7ml AG50W-X8 (200-400µm) with Alpha-HIBA to purify Nd.
3. ~100µl TRU-Spec column for removal of any remaining Alpha-HIBA in samples.

2-step separation:
1. 100µl RE-Spec (100-150µm) as primary column.
2. 0.7ml AG50W-X8 (200-400µm) with Alpha-HIBA to purify Nd.

1-step separation:
2ml LN-Spec (50-100µm) for Nd purification. No primary column needed because major ions were removed during pre-concentration

Mass spectrometry

VG-Sector TIMS, NdO+, spiked for simultaneous isotope dilution and composition analysis

VG-Sector54 TIMS, NdO+, spiked for simultaneous isotope dilution and composition analysis

Thermo Neptune Plus MC-ICPMS

Other

Concentrations were determined on a previously separated 500ml aliquot by isotope dilution
