This dataset contains the carbon chemistry measurements of a laboratory experiment study to understand the effects of ocean acidification on winter flounders. To address the goals of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OA), the James J. Howard Laboratory constructed an OA experimental system to conduct OA experiments on commercially important species native to Atlantic waters of the NE U.S. The species of interest exhibit a broad range of ecological and life-history types from entirely marine to entirely estuarine. In order to conduct OA experiments on several different species, the required experimental system was able to mimic both estuarine and oceanic conditions. This system was designed to produce 5 pCO2 concentrations above an ambient pCO2 treatment and 5 temperature regimes. The system is also capable of manipulating dissolved oxygen, salinity, and other biogeochemicals common to a benthic habitat. The analytical laboratory conducts analysis according to the guidelines developed by the ocean acidification subcommittee of the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Program. When followed correctly, these guidelines should produce data with a high degree of accuracy and precision.

  • Parameter or Variable: Dissolved Inorganic Carbon; Abbreviation: DIC; Unit: umol/kg; Observation type: Dissolved inorganic carbon; In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: Manipulation condition; Measured or calculated: Measured; Sampling instrument: manual; Analyzing instrument: NDIR based DIC analyzer (Apollo SciTech Inc); Detailed sampling and analyzing information: Column samples were collected by hand using a tube attached to the bypass at the base of each CO2 addition column. Experimental container samples were extracted and transfered to sample bottles using a 60 mL syringe. All samples were collected in a 300mL glass BOD bottle by filling from the bottom of the bottle. A 0.75 mL volume of each sample was analyzed on an Apollo SciTech DIC analyzer.; Replicate information: no field replicates collected; Standardization description: Different volumes of a CRM were analyzed and the area outputwas used to produce a standard curve. A CRM was also analyzed at the beginning and end of a daily sample analysis. The standard curve was used to determine the measured CRM and sample values from the coulometer output. The difference in the measured CRM value from its real value was used to determine measurement uncertainty.; Standardization frequency: Daily; CRM manufacturer: Dickson Lab at UCSD; Preservation method: Saturated solution of mercuric chloride; Preservative volume: 0.06mL; Preservative correction: none; Researcher name: Matthew Poach; Researcher institution: NOAA-James J. Howard Lab.
