Chem., 1987). The alkalinity was computed using the dissociation constants of Dickson and Millero (DSR A, 1987) for carbonic acid, that of Dickson (DSR A, 1990) for boric acid and the ionic product of water determined by Dickson and Riley (Mar. Chem., 1979). The reproducibility of alkalinity measurements was ±1.5 µmol.kg-1 (REP 2).; Researcher name: C.

The pH measurement were carried out with a combined glass electrode (Rosse electrode, Orion8 102) and a Radio-meter84 pH meter. The electrode we as standardized with a phosphate buffer (National Bureau of Standards 7.413) and a phtalate buffer (NBS 4.008) in order to determine the electrode slope. Standardizations with TRIS buffer (Almgren et al., DSR 1975) were also performed to determine the pH on the moles per kg seawater scale. The reproducibility of pH measurements was ±0.003 units (REP 2).; Researcher name: C. Copin (CNRS) asNeeded Metadata are developed, maintained and distributed by NCEI.
