2005-2009 River and soil dissolved ion concentrations, Cape Bounty

Samples were filtered in the field by vacuum filtration or by pressure filtration using syringe (2007) or a stainless steel filtration stage (2008-2009). All samples were filtered through 0.22 um filter membranes. The filtration units were triple rinsed with DI water and sample for each sample. Two 25 ml polyethylene scintillation vials were filled for each sample. Samples were analysed for cations (Na+, K+, NH4+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) and anions (Cl-, Br-, NO2-, SO42-, NO3-, PO43-) by liquid ion chromatography with a Dionex ICS-3000. The ion chromatograph was equipped with an ASRS 300 suppressor and AS18 analytical column for anions, and a CSRS ULTRA II or CSRS 300 suppressor and CS12A-5um analytical column for cations. Samples are named by site, date (MMDD) and time: PT0714 1300 = Ptarmigan July 14th at 1 pm.
