Dissolved trace element concentration profiles of micronutrients (Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Co) and contaminants (Cd, Pb) in seawater from discrete bottle samples from CCE Process Cruises in the California Current System, 2021 - 2025 (ongoing).

Dissolved trace element is sampled from the trace metal clean rosette. The sample is collected by filtering seawater through a 0.2µm PES filter. The seawater sample is then acidified to pH~1.8 using ultra clean hydrochloric acid and subsequently analyzed using sector-field inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, scanning in low and medium resolution, with either standard curve or isotope dilution methods. The samples are used to develop a description of the distribution of dissolved trace elements in the CCE region.
