Title: Dissolved copper, nickel, manganese, and vanadium from GeoFISH and bottle samples during the R/V Thomas G. Thompson cruise TN303 (GP16) from Peru to Tahiti in 2013 (U.S. GEOTRACES EPZT project) (NCEI Accession 0278117)
Abstract: This dataset contains chemical and physical data collected on R/V Thomas G. Thompson during cruise TN303 in the South Pacific Ocean from 2013-10-28 to 2013-12-17. These data include depth and trace metal concentration. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus, GeoFish Towed near-Surface Sampler, and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer. These data were collected by Alan M. Shiller of University of Southern Mississippi as part of the "Geotraces Pacific Section: Gallium, vanadium, and associated elements indicative of dust input and redox cycling (EPZT_Ga_V_others)" and "U.S. GEOTRACES East Pacific Zonal Transect (U.S. GEOTRACES EPZT)" 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 2021-01-14.

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

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
Clean seawater samples were collected from two sources; a GEOTRACES CTD referred to as GT-C/12L GoFlo, and the Super-GeoFISH towed surface vehicle. For more information on these methods, see the cruise report (Supplemental File) and the GeoFish description (under Instruments).

Water column samples were filtered through pre-cleaned, 0.2 µm Pall Acropak Supor filter capsules as described elsewhere (e.g., Cutter et al., 2012; Hatta et al., 2015). Near surface water samples were collected using an underway towed-fish pumped seawater system (Bruland et al., 2005) with samples filtered through sequential 0.45 µm Osmonics and 0.2 µm Polycarbonate (PCTE) cartridge filters. Filtered water was collected in 125 mL HDPE bottles (Nalgene) that had been precleaned by soaking in hot 1.2 M HCl (reagent grade) for at least 8 h with subsequent thorough rinsing with ultrapure distilled deionized water (Barnstead E-pure). Samples were acidified in a laminar flow bench aboard ship using 0.5 mL of ultrapure HCl per 125 mL sample.
