A16N_2003_aerosol

This dataset consists of atmospheric aerosol measurements collected during the CLIVAR/GO‑SHIP repeat hydrography section A16N from 4 June to 11 August 2003, a meridional transect in the North Atlantic from roughly 63°N to 3°S. Station metadata, hydrographic data, and cruise documentation are provided by the CLIVAR & Carbon Hydrographic Data Office (CCHDO) under expocode 33RO200306. Atmospheric aerosol samples were collected on replicate filters using an automatic sector-controlled aerosol sampling system mounted on the bow of the ship. Samples were analyzed for total trace elements (Fe, Al, Si, Ti, V, Mn) and subjected to seawater and DI water leach protocols to quantify non-sea-salt sulfate, nitrate, oxalate, and Na, and to assess the fractional solubility of trace elements (Fe, Al, Si, Ti, V, Mn). The timestamp is in UTC. For a full description of sampling protocols and analytical methods see: Buck, C.S., W.M. Landing, J.A.Resing, and G.T.
