Title: Physical and nutrient data collection in the Weddell Sea by the R/V Melville from 19860303 to 19860327 (NODC Accession 0000844)
Abstract: This Suggested Protocol, if executed by a careful, competent analytical chemist, will provide high quality nutrient concentration data using either of two commercially available continuous flow analyzer systems (CFA's). The nutrients covered are phosphate, nitrate plus nitrite, nitrite and silicic acid. We present a very brief review of the literature sources and principles of the analytical methods. The Protocol includes a description of the apparatus including continuous flow analyzers, volumetric ware, general notes on reagents, sampling and sample storage, sample containers and their maintenance, a calibration protocol, descriptions of the analytical methods, an outline of the processing of raw data to concentration units, and finally, a brief outline of quality assurance procedures. A brief bibliography and glossary appear at the end of the Protocol.
