    Description: The GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2017 (IDP2017) is the second publicly available data product of the international GEOTRACES programme, and contains data measured and quality controlled before the end of 2016. The IDP2017 includes data from the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, Southern and Indian oceans, with about twice the data volume of the previous IDP2014. For the first time, the IDP2017 contains data for a large suite of biogeochemical parameters as well as aerosol and rain data characterising atmospheric trace element and isotope (TEI) sources. The TEI data in the IDP2017 are quality controlled by careful assessment of intercalibration results and multi-laboratory data comparisons at crossover stations. The IDP2017 consists of two parts: (1) a compilation of digital data for more than 450 TEIs as well as standard hydrographic parameters, and (2) the eGEOTRACES Electronic Atlas providing an on-line atlas that includes more than 590 section plots and 130 animated 3D scenes. The digital data are provided in several formats, including ASCII, Excel spreadsheet, netCDF, and Ocean Data View collection. Users can download the full data packages or make their own custom selections with a new on-line data extraction service. In addition to the actual data values, the IDP2017 also contains data quality flags and 1-σ data error values where available. Quality flags and error values are useful for data filtering and for statistical analysis. Metadata about data originators, analytical methods and original publications related to the data are linked in an easily accessible way. The eGEOTRACES Electronic Atlas is the visual representation of the IDP2017 as section plots and rotating 3D scenes. The basin-wide 3D scenes combine data from many cruises and provide quick overviews of large-scale tracer distributions. These 3D scenes provide geographical and bathymetric context that is crucial for the interpretation and assessment of tracer plumes near ocean margins or along ridges. The IDP2017 is the result of a truly international effort involving 326 researchers from 22 countries. This publication provides the critical reference for unpublished data, as well as for studies that make use of a large cross-section of data from the IDP2017.

    Non-Rayleigh control of upper-ocean Cd isotope fractionation in the western South Atlantic (2017)

    Description: We present seawater Cd isotopic compositions in five depth profiles and a continuous surface water transect, from 50 degrees S to the Equator, in the western South Atlantic, sampled during GEOTRACES cruise 74JC057 (GA02 section, Leg 3), and investigate the mechanisms governing Cd isotope cycling in the upper and deep ocean. The depth profiles generally display high epsilon Cd-112/110 at the surface and decrease with increasing depth toward values typical of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). However, at stations north of the Subantarctic Front, the decrease in epsilon Cd-112/110 is interrupted by a shift to values intermediate between those of surface and bottom waters, which occurs at depths occupied by North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW). This pattern is associated with variations in Cd concentration from low surface values to a maximum at mid-depths and is attributed to preferential utilization of light Cd by phytoplankton in the surface ocean. Our new results show that in this region Cd-deficient waters do not display the extreme, highly fractionated epsilon Cd-112/110 reported in some earlier studies from other oceanic regions. Instead, in the surface and subsurface southwest (SW) Atlantic, when [Cd] drops below 0.1 nmol kg(-1), epsilon Cd-112/110 are relatively homogeneous and cluster around a value of +3.7, in agreement with the mean value of 3.8 +/- 3.3 (2SD, n = 164) obtained from a statistical evaluation of the global ocean Cd isotope dataset. We suggest that Cd-deficient surface waters may acquire their Cd isotope signature via sorption of Cd onto organic ligands, colloids or bacteriallpicoplankton extracellular functional groups. Alternatively, we show that an open system, steady-state model is in good accord with the observed Cd isotope systematics in the upper ocean north of the Southern Ocean. The distribution of epsilon Cd-112/110 in intermediate and deep waters is consistent with the water mass distribution, with the north-south variations reflecting changes in the mixing proportion of NADW and either AABW or AAIW depending on the depth. Overall, the SW Atlantic Cd isotope dataset demonstrates that the large-scale ocean circulation exerts the primary control on epsilon(112/110) Cd cycling in the global deep ocean.

    The cadmium–phosphate relationship in the western South Atlantic — The importance of mode and intermediate waters on the global systematics (2015)

    Description: The correlation between dissolved cadmium (Cd) and phosphate (PO4) in the modern ocean has been extensively studied. However, factors that cause the non-linearity in this global correlation are still largely debated and poorly constrained. In this study, we present vertical and meridional distributions of Cd concentrations along the GEOTRACES GA02 Leg 3 transect (53°S to 0°S) in the western South Atlantic. The vertical profiles of dissolved Cd show typical nutrient-like distributions, matching those of the macronutrient PO4. In the surface ocean, low Cd concentrations of 0.34–45 pmol kg− 1 are measured at all stations sampled. Below the fluorescence maxima, Cd concentrations increase with depth, reaching maxima at the depths of, or slightly below, the oxygen minimum. Similarly, surface waters have very low dissolved Cd/PO4 ratios, followed by a sudden decrease at depths corresponding to the fluorescence maxima, below which the Cd/PO4 ratios increase with depth. These variations in Cd and Cd/PO4 ratios are consistent with phytoplankton uptake in the surface ocean at higher Cd/PO4 ratios compared to deep water Redfield Cd/PO4 ratios, and remineralization of high Cd/PO4 organic particles as they sink to depth. In addition, a comparison of Cd and PO4 distributions in waters within the depth range of Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) in our study and those in the source regions suggests that SAMW plays an important role in the non-linearity of the Cd–PO4 correlation in the global ocean. On the other hand, intermediate waters at the equatorial stations display significantly lower Cd compared to the southern stations in this study. We attribute this to the influence of low-Cd waters originating in the oxygen-depleted zone (ODZ) of the Angola Basin that are brought in via the Benguela and Equatorial Currents. In the deep ocean (〉 1000 m), the meridional distributions of dissolved Cd concentrations and Cd/PO4 ratios reflect mixing between North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) (low nutrients, low Cd/PO4 ratios) and Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) (high nutrients, high Cd/PO4 ratios), showing that dissolved Cd and PO4 can reliably trace deep ocean circulation in the modern ocean.

    Description: Highlights: • GEOTRACES releases its first integrated and quality controlled Intermediate Data Product 2014 (IDP2014). • The IDP2014 digital data are available at http://www.bodc.ac.uk/geotraces/data/idp2014/ in 4 different formats. • The eGEOTRACES Electronic Atlas at http://egeotraces.org/ provides 329 section plots and 90 animated 3D tracer scenes. • The new 3D scenes provide geographical and bathymetric context crucial for tracer assessment and interpretation. Abstract: The GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2014 (IDP2014) is the first publicly available data product of the international GEOTRACES programme, and contains data measured and quality controlled before the end of 2013. It consists of two parts: (1) a compilation of digital data for more than 200 trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) as well as classical hydrographic parameters, and (2) the eGEOTRACES Electronic Atlas providing a strongly inter-linked on-line atlas including more than 300 section plots and 90 animated 3D scenes. The IDP2014 covers the Atlantic, Arctic, and Indian oceans, exhibiting highest data density in the Atlantic. The TEI data in the IDP2014 are quality controlled by careful assessment of intercalibration results and multi-laboratory data comparisons at cross-over stations. The digital data are provided in several formats, including ASCII spreadsheet, Excel spreadsheet, netCDF, and Ocean Data View collection. In addition to the actual data values the IDP2014 also contains data quality flags and 1-σ data error values where available. Quality flags and error values are useful for data filtering. Metadata about data originators, analytical methods and original publications related to the data are linked to the data in an easily accessible way. The eGEOTRACES Electronic Atlas is the visual representation of the IDP2014 data providing section plots and a new kind of animated 3D scenes. The basin-wide 3D scenes allow for viewing of data from many cruises at the same time, thereby providing quick overviews of large-scale tracer distributions. In addition, the 3D scenes provide geographical and bathymetric context that is crucial for the interpretation and assessment of observed tracer plumes, as well as for making inferences about controlling processes.

    Limited impact of eolian and riverine sources on the biogeochemical cycling of Cd in the tropical Atlantic (2019)

    Description: We present coupled cadmium (Cd) concentrations and Cd isotopic compositions (expressed as δ114Cd) in seawater profiles along the northeast-southwest GEOTRACES GA11 section in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. The GA11 section encompasses three contrasting regions including the Amazon River plume, the North African dust plume, and the Guinea Dome oxygen deficient zone (ODZ). Given the long oceanic residence time of Cd (104 to 105 yr), local inputs such as atmospheric and riverine sources are generally considered to be of little importance for the open ocean Cd budget, and the limited Cd isotope dataset available thus far has prevented any unambiguous conclusions on the importance of these processes. The GA11 section is ideally located for assessing the influence of external, natural and anthropogenic riverine and eolian inputs, as well as internal processes, on the Cd mass balance in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. As in previous Cd isotope studies, this dataset documents that both surface consumption–regeneration of micronutrients within the water column and deep water mass mixing exert the prime control on the cycling of Cd. However, we do observe some near-surface samples with lower-than-expected δ114Cd signatures along the western section of the transect. Surface waters sampled at the margin of the Amazon freshwater plume show no resolvable difference in [Cd] and δ114Cd compared to waters outside of the plume, suggesting that the Amazon River is not an important source of Cd to the open ocean. Although the eastern GA11 transect is directly downwind of the Saharan dust plume, atmospheric Cd deposition accounts for 〈1% of the inferred upwelling flux, indicating that atmospheric inputs to the surface North Atlantic Ocean, even within the main Saharan dust plume, only have a relatively minor influence on the Cd budget. In the subsurface tropical Atlantic (100–200 m water depth), there is a clear deviation from a tight linear Cd-PO4 correlation toward lower Cd concentrations for a given PO4 concentration. Our new Cd data show that this Cd-PO4 decoupling is likely a feature of the entire tropical Atlantic and may possibly reflect PO4 enrichment via preferential re-mineralization of organically-bound phosphorus. Alternatively, the decoupling may arise from subsurface Cd depletion caused by precipitation of Cd sulphide within sinking organic particulate microenvironments, as has been suggested in recent studies.
