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: Depth profiles of the isotopic composition (d30Si) of silicon within dissolved silicic acid on the US GEOTRACES Arctic cruise GN01 (HLY1502) from 2015-08 to 2015-10 (NCEI Accession 0277699)
Abstract: This dataset contains chemical data collected on USCGC Healy during cruise HLY1502 in the Arctic Ocean, Beaufort Sea, and Bering Sea from 2015-08-16 to 2015-10-07. These data include Si and depth. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird, Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer, and Niskin bottle. These data were collected by Mark A. Brzezinski of University of California-Santa Barbara as part of the "GEOTRACES Arctic Section: Diagnosing the unique silicon isotope composition of the Arctic Ocean (GEOTRACES Arctic Si Isotopes)" 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 2020-04-20.

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

Depth profiles of the isotopic composition (d30Si) of silicon within dissolved silicic acid on the US GEOTRACES Arctic cruise GN01 (HLY1502) from August to October 2015

Dataset Description: Acquisition Description: Samples collected from Niskin bottles using the GEOTRACES ODF CTD-rosette system. (Note on niskin trip depths reported in dataset: multiple bottles were tripped to collect sample water; these samples were linked to the Niskin number having both oxygen and salinity bottle data.)

Seawater samples for δ30Si measurements were collected using a Oceanographic Data Facility’s (ODF, Scripps Institution of Oceanography) CTD-rosette mounted with Niskin samplers and a Sea-Bird Electronics CTD (SBE9plus). Seawater was gravity filtered into polypropylene containers through in-line Supor filter capsules (0.8/0.45 µm) attached directly to each Niskin bottle. Sample bottles were capped and stored without preservative in the dark.

Back in the laboratory, the silicon from seawater was precipitated of as trimethylamine silicomolybdate using a high purity triethlyamine ammonium molybdate solution (TEA-Moly). The precipitate was isolated by filtration onto a polycarbonate filter and purified by high temperature combustion to produce solid silicon dioxide. SiO2 was then converted to solid Cs2SiF6 by dissolution in HF and addition of CsCl. The Cs2SiF6 was rinsed with ethanol, dried and dissolved in high purity (>18MΩ) water. BaSiF6 was precipitated by the addition of BaCl, rinsed with ethanol and dried.

Isotopic ratio analysis was performed using a Nu Perspective isotope ratio mass spectrometer equipped with a Nu Sil inlet system. Samples as BaSiF6 are loaded into sample vials that are placed in a sample carousel in the Nu Sil. Samples are sequentially heated to 590°C.

Isotope delta values are normalized against the international standard NBS28.
