Humic acid like concentration in seawater samples, collected from the trace metal rosettes in the Southern Ocean during the austral summer of 2016/2017, on board the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.

Dataset abstract

Humic acid like concentration (abbreviated HA) measured with respect to the Suwannee River Fulvic acid standards (µmol SRFA equivalent per litre).

Seawater samples were collected from trace metal rosette (TMR) deployments at different depths in the water column during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). Humic acid like data from legs 1 and 2, from TMR cast numbers 3 to 16, were analysed by electrochemistry following standard additions of Suwannee River Fulvic Acid (standard 1, IHSS). This data is to support iron ligands and iron bioavailability as well as hydrolysable saccharides (TPZT) data, also collected during ACE.
