We have assembled and conducted primary quality control on previously publicly unavailable water column measurements of the dissolved inorganic carbon system and associated biogeochemical parameters (oxygen, nutrients, etc.) made on 26 cruises in the subarctic and Arctic regions dating back to 1974. The measurements are primarily from the western side of the Canadian Arctic, but also include data that cover an area ranging from the North Pacific to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The data were subjected to primary quality control (QC) to identify outliers and obvious errors.

Underway analyses of DIC are required to describe spatial and temporal changes of DIC in marine systems. In this study, we developed a microvolume flow detection method for the underway determination of DIC in marine waters, using gas-diffusion flow analysis in conjunction with electrical 1 conductivity (EC) measurement. Only an acid carrier reagent (0.2 mol.L− ) and an ultrapure water acceptor are required for the DIC monitoring system. In this system, a sampling loop (100 µL) is used to quantify the injection sample volume, allowing micro-sample volume detection. The water sample reacts with the acid reagent to convert carbonate and bicarbonate species into CO2. The water sample is then carried into a gas-diffusion assembly, where the CO2 diffuses from the sampling stream into the acceptor stream.

Introduction The success of OCMIP-2 depends critically upon carefully designed and coordinated sim- ulations of the carbon cycle and related processes. Two important criteria must be met. First, the biogeochemical parameterizations chosen should be the most appropriate to meet the goals of the simulation. These parameterizations should be based upon a careful survey of the literature and modeling experience. The purpose of this document is to describe and justify the parameteriza- tions chosen for OCMIP-2 simulations of chlorofluorocarbons, the solubility pump and common biogeochemistry. This document will be revised or amended at a later date to include designs of simulations of radiocarbon, anthropogenic CO2 uptake and “pulse” inputs of CO2 to the ocean. The second important criterion to be met is that individual modeling groups use the exact same biogeochemical parameterizations.

  • Jack Kirby Influence Paper-2
    Magi Hossameldin Professor Thelma Bauer Digital Media Foundations- D304 8:00 - 11:20AM Class December, 18th 2018 Jack Kirby-The Real Unknown Hero ​ Often praised as the “King of Comics”, Jack Kirby has influenced generations of comic book artists and writers alike. Not only a talented comic book artist, he was also a great storyteller, which is considered to be responsible for his success and longevity. Kirby’s influence can still be seen in any modern superhero comics, and even on the big screen. Kirby is responsible for creating many iconic and beloved comic book characters. Jack Kirby was born as Jacob Kurtzberg on August 28, 1917, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City. From and early childhood, Kirby aspired to be a storyteller, having being influenced by the stories his mother told him, and the stories in the newspaper comics and in the movie theaters.
