Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2019-10-02) Granger, Julie ; Bourbonnais, Annie ; Wilson, SamuelIn order to verify that measurements of the 15N2 atom% of dissolved N2 gas samples effectuated by Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry are accurate, we developed a specific protocol to prepare dissolved 15N2 gas standards. We detail the protocol herein, and report representative MIMS measurements of the prepared standards.

DatasetTrial A test of the dissolution method for estimates of the 15N2 atom% of incubations(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2019-10-02) Granger, Julie ; Bourbonnais, Annie ; Wilson, SamuelThe “dissolution” method to measure N2 fixation rates with 15N2 gas tracer involves the preparation of 15N2-enriched water that is then added to each incubation bottle. Investigators typically measure the 15N2 atom% of the 15N2-enriched inoculum by MIMS, and extrapolate the 15N2 atom% in the incubations based on the inoculum value. Here, we demonstrate that such extrapolation yields inaccurate estimates of the 15N2 atom% of incubations. The latter should be measured directly.

DatasetNutrient and nitrate isotope data from the southern Benguela upwelling system from February to August 2017(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2020-05-20) Granger, Julie ; Siedlecki, SamanthaAnalysed Particulate Organic Matter data, Nutrient data and Nitrate isotope data from the 2017 Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) cruises conducted in February, May, and August 2017. The IEP:SB is a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional platform to undertake relevant science in the Southern Benguela; also functioning as a platform for collaboration and learning. Nitrate+nitrite concentrations were measured on a Lachat QuickChem flow injection analysis platform in a configuration with a detection limit of 0.1 µM, while phosphate and nitrite concentrations were measured using standard benchtop techniques on a Thermo Scientific Genesis 30 Visible spectrophotometer in a configuration with a detection limit of 0.05 µM. The N and O isotope ratios of the N2O gas were analysed using a Delta V Advantage continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometer interfaced with an online N2O extraction and purification system.

DatasetComparison of Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry (MIMS) to Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (IRMS)(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2019-10-02) Granger, Julie ; Bourbonnais, Annie ; Wilson, SamuelIn order to ensure that 15N2 atom% effectuated by Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry, we tested whether the mass-specific signal ratios returned by MIMS are equivalent with parallel measurements on a Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer, on the basis that the latter returns accurate ratios (see 778000 cal_iso).

ArticleThe Angola Gyre is a hotspot of dinitrogen fixation in the South Atlantic Ocean(Nature Research, 2022-06-30) Marshall, Tanya ; Granger, Julie ; Casciotti, Karen L. ; Dähnke, Kirstin ; Emeis, Kay-Christian ; Marconi, Dario ; McIlvin, Matthew R. ; Noble, Abigail E. ; Saito, Mak A. ; Sigman, Daniel M. ; Fawcett, Sarah E.Biological dinitrogen fixation is the major source of new nitrogen to marine systems and thus essential to the ocean’s biological pump. Constraining the distribution and global rate of dinitrogen fixation has proven challenging owing largely to uncertainty surrounding the controls thereon. Existing South Atlantic dinitrogen fixation rate estimates vary five-fold, with models attributing most dinitrogen fixation to the western basin. From hydrographic properties and nitrate isotope ratios, we show that the Angola Gyre in the eastern tropical South Atlantic supports the fixation of 1.4–5.4 Tg N.a−1, 28-108% of the existing (highly uncertain) estimates for the basin. Our observations contradict model diagnoses, revealing a substantial input of newly-fixed nitrogen to the tropical eastern basin and no dinitrogen fixation west of 7.5˚W. We propose that dinitrogen fixation in the South Atlantic occurs in hotspots controlled by the overlapping biogeography of excess phosphorus relative to nitrogen and bioavailable iron from margin sediments. Similar conditions may promote dinitrogen fixation in analogous ocean regions. Our analysis suggests that local iron availability causes the phosphorus-driven coupling of oceanic dinitrogen fixation to nitrogen loss to vary on a regional basis.

DatasetTest of potential mass to charge 30 interferences from O2(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2019-10-02) Granger, Julie ; Bourbonnais, Annie ; Wilson, SamuelMolecular oxygen (O2) has been documented to ionize partially to NO+ in mass spectrometer sources, generating a signal that overlaps with that of 15N2 (mass-to-charge of 30). Here, we tested whether O2 needs to be specifically removed from the sample streams of the Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometer and the Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer in order to properly quantitate 15N2 atom% at pertinent concentrations. Sample streams with and without O2 yielded similar signals, suggesting that O2 does not interfere with the 15N2 atom% measurements in the experimental range with the given instruments.

DatasetCalibration of the Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer vs. aliquots of 15N2 gas diluted in air then helium(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2019-10-02) Granger, Julie ; Bourbonnais, Annie ; Wilson, SamuelIn order to verify that measurements of the 15N2 atom% of dissolved N2 gas samples effectuated by Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry are accurate, we compared these to corresponding measurements of parallel samples on a Delta V Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (IRMS). To this end, we first ensured that the IRMS returns accurate 15N2 atom% values, by measuring the 15N2 atom% of a serial dilutions of a 15N2 gas stock in air and helium. This calibration is documented herein, showing that IRMS measurements in the experimental range were accurate, as expected For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.
