Exploring Ocean Biogeochemistry Using a Lab-on-Chip Phosphate Analyser on an Underwater Glider

The ability to make measurements of phosphate (PO 4 3– ) concentrations at temporal and spatial scales beyond those offered by shipboard observations offers new opportunities for investigations of the marine phosphorus cycle. We here report the first in situ PO 4 3– dataset from an underwater glider...

Zusammenfassung:The ability to make measurements of phosphate (PO 4 3– ) concentrations at temporal and spatial scales beyond those offered by shipboard observations offers new opportunities for investigations of the marine phosphorus cycle. We here report the first in situ PO 4 3– dataset from an underwater glider (Kongsberg Seaglider) equipped with a PO 4 3– Lab-on-Chip (LoC) analyser. Over 44 days, a 120 km transect was conducted in the northern North Sea during late summer (August and September). Surface depletion of PO 4 3– (
