This dataset contains chemical data collected at lab Bellairs Research Institute during deployment ADIMA_Barbados in the Caribbean Sea from 2012-02-01 to 2012-02-29. These data include Ammonium, nitrate plus nitrite, and reactive phosphorus (PO4). The instruments used to collect these data include Alpkem RFA300 and Technicon AutoAnalyzerII. These data were collected by Adina Paytan of University of California-Santa Cruz as part of the "Atmospheric Deposition Impacts on Marine Ecosystems (ADIMA)" project.

Nutrient Concentrations in Seawater
Dataset Description:
Acquisition Description:
Sampling and Analytical Methodology:
Nutrient and aerosol addition bioassay experiments were carried out over 3 days in February 2012. Seawater was collected from offshore (water depth >700 m) outside the Bellairs Research Institute at West Barbados (13 o 11.309’N, 59 o 38.267’W). Surface water was pumped into acid cleaned sample rinsed carboys using a peristaltic pump with acid washed Teflon tubing and pre filtered through a 50 um mesh acid washed Nitex © net to remove grazers. The seawater was stored in the dark until transport to the lab (within <2 hours). Seawater was dispensed into acid washed and sample rinsed polycarbonate bottles (500 mL each), pre-labeled with treatment type (12-20 bottles per treatment). Treatments included single nutrient (N, P, Fe) additions as well as a combination of N and P and a combination of N and Fe at concentrations representative of deep water in this area. Three aerosol treatments were used in this study representing aerosols deposited in three seasons, winter, spring and summer. Aerosols representing each of the seasons were added at concentrations simulating high and low deposition rates. High deposition was calculated to represent the cumulative deposition flux over 10 days of a strong dust storm event over the North Atlantic (300 g m -2 yr -1 ) to the upper 10 m mixed layer. Low deposition treatments were equivalent to the normal average deposition rate for Barbados (10 g m -2 yr -1 ) during spring and summer. A control (no addition, blank filter) treatment and procedural blanks (Milli-Q water) were also included. All bottles were incubated in a pool filled with circulating seawater to maintain local surface ocean temperature. The pool was covered with a neutral density shading screen to reduce light intensity by 50%. Water samples used for the experiment (pre additions) was collected to characterize the baseline conditions (baseline, 5 replicates) and 3 replicate bottles for each treatment were also collected immediately after the additions were administered (time zero, t0). The experiment took place over 3 days, and each day 3 (for nutrients) or 5 (for aerosols) randomly selected bottles for each treatment were collected at 4pm in the afternoon (e.g. time points t1-t3). Immediately upon collection each bottle was sampled for chlorophyll a , flow cytometry, nutrients, and trace metal concentrations.
Water from each of the retrieved incubation bottles was filtered through a 0.2 um filter tower, collected in acid washed 50 mL falcon tubes and frozen until nutrients were analyzed. Phosphate and ammonium were measured by continuous flow autoanalyzer (TechniconAutoAnalyzer II™). Soluble reactive phosphate (SRP) measurements followed a modification of the molybdenum blue procedure () and ammonium (NH 4 ) analysis was done using a method modified from ALPKEM RFA methodology. Nitrate plus nitrite (N+N) were analyzed by Alpkem RFA 300 following methods from Armstrong et al. (1967) (). Detection limits for SRP, N+N and NH 4 are 0.012 uM, 0.30 uM and 0.05 uM, respectively.
