Measurements, from CCE LTER process cruises in the California Current region, of total dissolvable inorganic concentrations of the nutrient iron, 2017 - (ongoing).

Seawater profiles or discrete samples for total dissolvable iron (TDFe) analysis are collected with the trace metal rosette or GO-FLO bottles, respectively, in stations located within the CCE LTER region in the California Current System. The total dissolvable iron concentration is obtained by collecting unfiltered seawater samples in 250 mL LDPE bottles and storing them at pH 1.8 for 6 months or more. The acidified seawater sample is then filtered using acid cleaned 0.4 um PES membrane Titan 3 syringe filters and determined by flow injection chemiluminescent (FI-CL) analysis at Scripps Insitution of Oceanography since 2017 (ongoing).
