Title: Water column carbonate chemistry and surface carbon dioxide, Bering and Chukchi Sea, May-June 2021
The data provided here are from cruise SKQ2021-08S onboard the R/V Sikuliaq from May 21-June11, 2021 in the Bering and Chukchi Seas. The objective of the study was to evaluate the spatiotemporal dynamics of the carbon dioxide seawater system in the Pacific Arctic during the time of active sea ice retreat. This dataset includes discrete water column data for dissolved inorganic carbon and spectrophotometric pH on the total scale (measured at 25 degrees Celsius) along with nutrients, dissolved organic carbon, and in-situ hydrographic parameters. The outputs from carbonate system calculations (e.g., aragonite saturation state, in-situ pH) are also included. The dataset also includes continuous surface partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) data in both ppm and uatm measured at 15 minute intervals.  more » « less

    This dataset consists of carbonate chemistry discrete profile data collected on two of the Northeast US Coast Shelf LTER cruises, EN617 and EN627 summer 2018 and winter 2019. The dataset includes in situ temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen as measured from a CTD, and also includes discrete samples for dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity.

    Abstract. As elsewhere in the global ocean, the Gulf of Alaska is experiencing the rapid onset of ocean acidification (OA) driven by oceanic absorption of anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In support of OA research and monitoring, we present here a data product of marine inorganic carbon chemistry parameters measured from seawater samples taken during biannual cruises between 2008 and 2017 in the northern Gulf of Alaska. Samples were collected each May and September over the 10 year period using a conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) profiler coupled with a Niskin bottle rosette at stations including a long-term hydrographic survey transect known as the Gulf of Alaska (GAK) Line. This dataset includes discrete seawater measurements such as dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity, which allows the calculation of other marine carbon parameters, including carbonate mineral saturation states, carbon dioxide (CO2), and pH. Cumulative daily Bakun upwelling indices illustrate the pattern of downwelling in the northern Gulf of Alaska, with a period of relaxation spanning between the May and September cruises. The observed time and space variability impart challenges for disentangling the OA signal despite this dataset spanning a decade. However, this data product greatly enhances our understanding of seasonal and interannual variability in the marine inorganic carbon system parameters. The product can also aid in the ground truthing of biogeochemical models, refining estimates of sea–air CO2 exchange, and determining appropriate CO2 parameter ranges for experiments targeting potentially vulnerable species. Data are available at https://doi.org/10.25921/x9sg-9b08 (Monacci et al., 2023).

    The Ecosystem Science and Modeling lab has been collecting water samples from five stations in the Mission-Aransas Estuary (MAE, Northwest Gulf of Mexico, Texas coast) for carbonate system characterization on a monthly to twice monthly basis since May 2014. This dataset includes temperature, salinity, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (TA), calcium, and pH measurements from surface and bottom water samples in MAE from May 2014 – Feb 2017 and Dec 2018 – Feb 2020. Additional data for this estuary to fill in the Feb 2017 – Dec 2018 gap are also archived with BCO-DMO (http://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/784673, doi:10.1575/1912/bco-dmo.784673.1).

    Data from this study originate from the NSF (National Science Foundation) Polaris Project. The Polaris Project integrates scientific research in the Arctic-boreal region with education and outreach, with a primary focus on engaging and inspiring the next generation of scientists. The overarching scientific issue that drives the Polaris Project is the vulnerability and fate of ancient carbon stored in perennially frozen ground, permafrost. Although extensive permafrost thaw is expected to occur across the northern permafrost region this century, large uncertainties remain in the timing, magnitude, and form of carbon that will be released. Participants of the Polaris Project conducted field research in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (YKD), collaborating to make fundamental scientific discoveries related to the transformation and fate of thawed permafrost carbon, and implications for global climate. This data set includes aquatic chemistry data from expeditions to the YKD during 2015–2019. Parameters measured include water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, dissolved organic and inorganic carbon, nitrogen species, phosphorous, greenhouse gases, stables isotopes of carbon and water, optical properties of water, and fluxes of methane and carbon dioxide made in the field. These data were compiled and underwent quality assurance / quality control specifically for the scientific objectives of the manuscript published by Zolkos et al. (2022). Consequently, this dataset contains a modified version of Polaris Project YKD aquatic chemistry data previously published for 2015–2016 (http://doi.org/10.18739/A22804Z8M) and 2017 (http://doi.org/10.18739/A23775V7T). Data from 2018–2019 were not previously published. Therefore, users interested in the original datasets for 2015–2017 are encouraged to access them via the provided links, while users interested in the data and metadata specific to the associated manuscript by Zolkos et al. are encouraged to use this companion dataset.

    Longitudinal variation in streamwater chemistry has been measured in two watersheds (W1 and W6) at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. This dataset includes samples that have been collected approximately monthly in Watershed 6 at six sampling locations (1982 – present) along an elevational gradient. Samples are analyzed for pH, ANC, anions, cations, nitrogen, dissolved inorganic and organic carbon. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
