Hydrochemistry measured on water bottle samples during URANIA cruise PaCO2

The oceanographic survey PaCO2 was performed aboard R/V Urania from 27 July – 01 August 2011 (Naples – Naples). The project’s ship-time was funded by Eurofleets, with work being performed as a sub-project of the Seventh Framework Programme projects “ECO2” and “RISCS”, which provided subsidiary funding. CTD data defining water column stratification and pH distribution were used to decide the location and depth of discrete water sampling collected along a 9-station transect in the Panarea Island’s hydrothermal system characterized by three active emission points for various chemical analyses, including dissolved gases, major and trace elements, pH, alkalinity, oxygen, dissolved organic and inorganic carbon, inorganic nutrients, particulate carbon and nitrogen and chlorophyll a.
