Abstract
A new modular system was reported in this paper for the purpose of sampling and processing of trace elements in the open ocean. The idea of designing is based on the concept of assembly and combination, which is so called “Modular Ocean Trace Elements Sampling” (MOTES). In application, the system is tested during a cruise in the Subtropical Pacific Ocean between 140° E to 142° E, and between 6° N and 20° N, with sampling water depth down to 7000 m. The results provide evidences for low procedural blanks and good reproducibility in repeated samplings through the entire water column for trace elements work. Data illustrate low, reproducible and representative concentrations of dissolved Fe (dFe) and Pb (dPb) compared to the results reported in the literature and show the consistency of oceanographic profiles in sub-basin-wide spatial dimensions.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Oceanography publishes the longer, more comprehensive papers that most oceanographers feel are necessary, on occasion, to do justice to their work. Contributions are generally either a review of an aspect of oceanography or a treatise on an expanding oceanographic subject. The articles cover the entire spectrum of disciplines within the science of oceanography. Occasionally volumes are devoted to collections of papers and conference proceedings of exceptional interest. Essential reading for all oceanographers.
