This dataset includes the total dissolved, dissolved labile, and soluble nickel concentration results determined in water column samples collected using a trace-metal clean CTD rosette, or an inflatable dinghy, during four cruises in the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) region in March, May, August, and November 2019. The samples and associated data were collected for the Bermuda Atlantic Iron Time-series (BAIT) project (GEOTRACES Process Study GApr13). Post-cruise sample analyses were performed at the University of South Florida (labile dissolved nickel) and Old Dominion University (dissolved nickel, soluble nickel).

Dissolved Ba, Cd, Cu, Ga, Mn, Ni, and V concentrations and Ba isotope concentrations from the US GEOTRACES Arctic Expedition (GN01, HLY1502) from August to October 2015
Dissolved Ba, Cd, Cu, Ga, Mn, Ni, and V concentration data from the US GEOTRACES Arctic Expedition (GN01, HLY1502) from August to October 2015. Clean seawater samples were collected using a GEOTRACES CTD referred to as GT-C/12L GoFlo. Additional near surface samples were collected using either a small boat or through the ice using Teflon coated Tygon tubing and a trace metal clean pump (IWAKI, model WMD-30LFY-115). This dataset also includes selected stable Ba isotope analyses.

We present a spatially and vertically resolved global grid of dissolved barium concentrations ([Ba]) in seawater determined using Gaussian Process Regression machine learning. This model was trained using 4,345 quality-controlled GEOTRACES data from the Arctic, Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern Oceans. Model output was validated by assessing the accuracy of [Ba] simulations in the Indian Ocean, noting that none of the Indian Ocean data were seen by the model during training. We identify a model that can accurate predict [Ba] in the Indian Ocean using seven features: depth, temperature, salinity, as well as dissolved dioxygen, phosphate, nitrate, and silicate concentrations. This model achieves a mean absolute percentage error of 6.0 %, which we assume represents the generalization error. This model was used to simulate [Ba] on a global basis using predictor data from the World Ocean Atlas 2018. The global model of [Ba] is on a 1°x 1° grid with 102 depth levels from 0 to 5,500 m. The dissolved [Ba] output was then used to simulate dissolved Ba* (barium-star), which is the difference between 'observed' and [Ba] predicted from co-located [Si]. Lastly, [Ba] data were combined with temperature, salinity, and pressure data from the World Ocean Atlas to calculate the saturation state of seawater with respect to barite. The model reveals that the volume-weighted mean oceanic [Ba] and and saturation state are 89 nmol/kg and 0.82, respectively. These results imply that the total marine Ba inventory is 122(±7) ×10¹² mol and that the ocean below 1,000 m is at barite equilibrium.more » « less

Depth profiles of total and soluble metals were sampled from 2014-2023 in three drinking-water reservoirs, Falling Creek Reservoir (FCR) Beaverdam Reservoir (BVR), and Carvins Cove Reservoir (CCR). FCR and BVR are located in Vinton, Virginia, USA and CCR is located in Roanoke, Virginia, USA. Only Fe and Mn were analyzed from 2014-2019. The full suite of metals (Li, Na, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, Fe, Mn, Cu, Sr, Ba) were analyzed from 2020-2023. All reservoirs are owned and operated by the Western Virginia Water Authority and are managed as drinking-water sources for the city of Roanoke, VA. The dataset includes metals samples that were collected along a depth profile taken at the deepest site of each reservoir near the dam. Additional samples were collected at a gauged weir located on the primary inflow tributary, as well as at a secondary tributary, to FCR. A 2022 sampling campaign at CCR included inflows and a depth profile at the deepest site. Sampling frequency in FCR and BVR in 2023 was approximately weekly during the summer and fall (May - October), approximately fortnightly during the spring (March - April), and approximately monthly during the winter (November - March). For previous sampling campaign frequencies, please see past revisions of this data product.more » « less

Beryllium-7, a cosmogenic radioactive isotope with a half-life of 53.3 days, is formed in the atmosphere, attaches to aerosol particles, and is deposited on the earth's surface through wet and dry processes. In this project, we measured Be-7 concentrations in aerosol particles and in seawater samples (depths < 200 meters) collected on the French GEOTRACES section GS02 SWINGS cruise aboard R/V Marion-Dufresne. The cruise originated at Réunion Island on 11 January 2021 and concluded at Réunion on 8 March 2021. Nineteen aerosol samples and seawater from eleven stations in the South Indian Ocean were collected. The dataset will be used to study the deposition of trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) and upper ocean mixing processes. Aerosol deposition is an important source of TE micronutrients to open ocean areas that are far removed from riverine sources. But, while the collection aerosol of samples for TEI analysis is straightforward, estimating the deposition flux also requires an appropriate deposition velocity (i.e. deposition flux is the product of the aerosol concentration and deposition velocity). Because Be-7 is supplied to the open ocean exclusively through aerosol deposition and it is removed through radioactive decay, the water column inventory and aerosol concentration of Be-7 can be used to derive the deposition velocity applicable to aerosol TEIs.more » « less

This dataset includes measurements of the dissolved isotope radium-226 in the South Pacific and Southern Ocean. Samples were collected on the US GEOTRACES GP17-OCE cruise (Papeete, Tahiti to Punta Arenas, Chile) on R/V Roger Revelle from December 2022 to January 2023. Radium-223, radium-224, and radium-228 data will be made available in the future.more » « less
