(1) FILE NAME: 95mmdoca.sma (2) YEAR: 1995 (3) PI: Mary Ann Moran (4) OTHERS: Edward Sheppard, Joe Covert (5) DESCRIPTION OF DATA FILE: Dissolved organic carbon concentrations for the St. Marys River at several sites during the LMER 1 cruise. (6) KEYWORDS: St. Marys, dissolved organic carbon, humic acid fraction, non-humic acid fraction, salinity, LMER 1, fluorescence. (7) RESEARCH LOCATION: All locations indicated by distance upstream from river mouth in kilometers. (8) EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS AND METHODS: Water samples were filtered through GF-F filters in glass filtration units and stored at 4 degrees C until processing. Immediately before analysis, samples were acidified to pH 3.5 with 100% phosphoric accid, bubbled with CO2-free air for 2 minutes. Samples were then injected into a Shimadzu TOC 5000 carbon analyzer standardized with potassium biphthalate.
