Description:

North Inlet encompasses about 2,630 hectares of tidal marshes and wetlands near Georgetown, South Carolina, USA. North Inlet-Winyah Bay features high quality, ocean-dominated waters and salt marshes in North Inlet, contrasting with the brackish waters and marshes of Winyah Bay. The bay estuary is dominated by riverine discharges from a watershed impacted by agricultural, municipal and industrial development. Former rice fields and canals provide another system for study within the Reserve. The Debidue site is located at the confluence of Town Creek and Debidue Creek. The Bread and Butter site is located along the western shoreline of Town Creek adjacent to the mouth of Clambank Creek. Town Creek water samples -- 33.19'38" Lat., 79.10'0" Long. Clambank Creek water samples -- 33.20'0" Lat., 79.11'33" Long. Oyster Landing water samples in Crab Haul Creek -- 33.21'2" Lat., 79.11'27" Long.

Description:

Research methods

The Daily Water Sample program was started in 1978 to moniter the daily nutrient cycling within the North Inlet Estuary System. The original sampling site was at Town Creek. Later samples were taken at Clambank and Oyster Landing as well. Samples were taken 365 days a year at the same time every day, approximately 10:00 AM EST. The samples were filtered at the Lab to separate the particulates from the water. The filtered water was then run through a colorimeter and the nutrient value peak heights derived were recorded on a ticker tape type printout. These values were recorded into a master nutrient note book, and entered onto a CMS file by the Data Management Department at the lab. The filters that were used in the filtering process were first weighted, burnt off and cleaned, then they were weighted with the particulates dried onto them. These filters were then cooked again for 24 hours at 450 degrees. This was done to determine the inorganic particulates that were left. All data files have since been stored on a SUN workstation and backed up on 8mm tapes at both the field lab and the data management office at the University of South Carolina.

Analysis methods for the individual variables are described below:

Ortho-Phosphate

The basic method was the Technicon Industrial Method No. 155-71W (1973), which was a modification of the Murphy and Riley (1962) single solution method. The method depended on the formation of a phospomolybdate blue complex, the color of which is read at a wavelength of 880 mm.

Sulfate

For this automated procedure for sulfate (Technicon Industrial Method No. 118-71W/B), the sample was first passed through a cation-exchange column to remove interferences. The sample containing sulfate was then reacted with barium chloride at a pH of 2.5-3.0 to form barium sulfate. Excess barium reacted with methylthmol blue to form a blue-colored was gray; if it was all chelated with barium, the color was blue. Initially, the barium chloride and methylthymol blue were equimolar and equivalent to the highest concentration of sulfate ion expected; thus the amount of uncomplexed methylthymol blue, measured at 460 mm, was equal to the sulfate present.

Nitrate/Nitrite

The basic method was Technicon Industrial Method No. 158-71W/B, which utilized the reaction in which nitrate was reduced to nitrite by a copper- cadmium reductor column. The nitrite ion then reacted with sulfanilamide under acidic conditions to form a diazo compound. This compound then coupled with N-1-napthylethylenediamine dihydrochloride to form a reddish-purple azo dye.

Chlorides

The basic method was Technicon Industrial Method No. 99-70W/B. This automated procedure for the determination of chloride depended upon the the liberation of thiocyanate ion from mercuric thiocyanate by the formation of unionized but soluble mercuric chloride. In the presence of ferric ion, the liberated thiocyanate formed a highly colored ferric thiocyanate proportional to the original chloride concentration.

Ammonia

This method was from "The Automated Analysis of Nutrients in Seawater: A Manual of Techniques" by Gilbert and Loder (1977), a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution publication No. WHO-77-47. This method was dependent upon the Berthelot Reaction, during which the formation of a blue colored compound closely related to indophenol occurred when the solution of an ammonium salt was added to sodium phenoxide, followed by the addition of sodium hypochlorite. A solution of potassium sodium tartrate and sodium citrate was added to the sample stream to eliminate the precipitation of the hydroxides of calcium and magnesium. Total Nitrogen - Total Phosphorus The procedure consisted of an alkaline persulfate oxidation followed by automated analysis for nitrogen (as nitrate) and phosphorus (as phosphate) on a Technicon Auto Analyzer. With alkaline persulfate digestion, all nitrogen in the sample was oxidized to nitrate, which was then reduced by cadmium and analyzed as nitrite. The precision and recovery of this method compared favorably with a Kjeldahl procedure (D'Elia et al., 1977). The main advantage of the persulfate oxidation was the speed and convenience with which it was accomplished. Unlike the Kjeldahl method, which recovered only organic and NH4 - nitrogen, the persulfate oxidation also included NO3 and NO2 nitrogen. The procedure described by D'Elia (1977) has been so the digest could be analyzed using an autoanalyzer (Gilbert et al., 1977). This semi- automated procedure combined the persulfate oxidation with automated nitrate and phosphate analysis to provide simultaneous analysis for total persulfate nitrogen (TPN) and total persulfate phosphorus (TPP). Gilbert's procedure was further modified to use a smaller sample size so that the digestion flask could double as the sampler tray cup (Loder, 1978). Using this method, many samples could be run quickly with a minimum of handling. Carbon (prior to September 1989) Particulate Carbon 20 ml of daily water sample was filtered through a precombusted (24 hr @ 450 C) Whatman GFF 0.7 micron glass filter. The filter was waved over concentrated HCl to eliminate inorganic carbon, then placed in a precombusted ampule and frozen. Batches were dried at 60 C for 48 hrs. 0.1 gr of precombusted (48 hr @ 750 C) reagent grade CuO was added to each ampule, the ampule was then purged with pure oxygen and sealed, using an Oceanigraphics International Purging and Sealing Unit #524PS. Ampules were etched, then heated to 580 C for 4 hrs. Sorted ampules were then analyzed on an Oceanigraphics International #524C TOC Analyzer by comparing infrared absorption peak heights (Horiba PIR 2000) on an LDC strip chart recorder with those of KHP (Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate) standards. Standards were prepared by microsyringing a series of volumes of a KHP solution into ampules and processing them as samples. Reagent blanks were subtracted and average concentration of duplicate samples was calculated for each DWS site. Dissolved Organic Carbon The daily water sample was filtered through a precombusted (24 hr @ 450 C) Whatman GFF 0.7 micron glass filter. An aliquot of filtrate was refrigerated. Samples were purged of inorganic carbon by adding 25percent phosphoric acid to lower the pH to 2 and bubbling for 10 minutes with pure oxygen. The pH was then neutralized using ammonium hydroxide to protect the oxidizing catalyst. Every 5 minutes, using a Hamilton CR-700-200 spring loaded syringe, a 100 microliter sample was injected into a Beckman 915A TOC Analyzer and infrared absorption peak heights were compared to those of KHP standard solutions to calculate carbon concentration. Carbon (after September 1989) Dissolved Organic Carbon Water samples were filtered through a precombusted Whatman GFF 7.0 micron glass filter. Samples were purged of inorganic carbon by adding 10 percent HCl and sparged with ultra zero grade air. A 40 microliter aliquot was injected, via a autosampler, into a Shimadzu TOC-500 organic carbon analyzer. A non-dispersive infrared gas analyzer was utilized to measure the carbon dioxide produced and samples were run in triplicate with means reported. ***NOTE*** A Whatman GFF 7.0 micron glass fiber filter was used throughout the LTER Daily Water Sample analysis.

Entry verification

Known Nutrient parameters are entered into a "Raw Nutrient Run Book" for every tray of samples that are run. This book contains parameters, and pertinent notes associated with each tray. The following parameters are in the "Raw Nutrient Run Book": Tray Number Chemistry Std. Cup.# Std. Cal.# Dummy Std. Conc. Sample Chem.# (sample ID) Drift Dilution This book is basically a NOTE book for the chemist running the samples. When a tray is run, raw peak height numbers are written onto the ticker tape or printout, which is kept in the chemistry lab. This data is hand copied into a "Master Nutrient Raw Peak Height Book". ** NOTE ** (There is no re-editing of the data that is written into the "Master Nutrient Raw Peak Height Book".) The ticker tape and "Raw Nutrient Run Book" are kept in the fire proof cabinet at the Baruch Marine Lab, Georgetown, SC. A "Nutrient Parameter Book" and the "Master Nurtient Raw Peak Height Book" are kept in the chemistry lab at the Baruch Marine Lab, Georgetown SC. The following data is in the "Nutrient Parameter Book": Tray# Average Peak Height of standard Cups Oxidizer Reagent Blank Drift Standard Concentration This book is necessary to run the correction programs. At this point, a Data Manager entered the information from the "Master Nutrient Raw Peak Height Book" into a CMS file. This data, once entered was verified for typographical errors by the Data Manager.
