Water column dissolved and total dissolvable metal concentrations from Hawaii Ocean Timeseries (HOT) R/V Kilo Moana cruises at station ALOHA, North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, from December 2020 to November 2023

We collected and analyzed water samples for dissolved and total dissolvable trace metal concentration on Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) cruises between December 2020 and November 2023. All samples were collected at Station ALOHA. Samples were collected using a trace metal rosette. Approx. 12 depth samples were collected for each cruise within the upper 350 m of the water column. Dissolved metal measurements reflect samples filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. Total dissolvable metal measurements represent unfiltered samples. Both sample types were acidified for > 2 months after collection and metals were extracted via chelating resin (Nobias PA-1) and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry at the University of Hawaii at Manoa using a Thermo Scientific iCAP-TQ mass spectrometer. This dataset is part of a larger study focused on the cycling of trace metals in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, and is embedded within the HOT program.
