The Nansen Legacy Sampling Protocols, Version 1.
(Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System, Longyearbyen, Norway, 2018)
The collection of detailed sampling protocols is crucial tool for the success of the Nansen
Legacy, because they ensure
o Methodological agreement between the involved researchers
o Continuity and comparable data ...
Guidelines on the determination of chlorinated hydrocarbons in sediment.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2017)
These guidelines are based on the review from Smedes and de Boer (1994, 1998) and Eljarrat and Barceló (2009).
The analysis of chlorinated hydrocarbons in sediments generally involves extraction with organic solvents, ...
Guidelines for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in sediment.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2017)
This Technical note provides advice on the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in total marine sediments, sieved fractions, and suspended particulate matter. The analysis of PAH compounds in sediments basically ...
Guidelines for the determination of persistent organic compounds (POPs) in seawater.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2017)
These guidelines concentrate on the sampling and extraction of lipophilic persistent organic pollutants from seawater and also address special aspects of the sampling matrix. Those pollutants comprise the group of polycyclic ...
Guidelines for determination of salinity and temperature using CTD.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2017)
Salinity
Measurements based on electrical conductivity have since the 1960s replaced measurements of chlorinity.
The Practical Salinity Scale of 1978 (PSS-78) presently used, has been defined to maintain a continuity ...
Guidelines for monitoring of water transparency (Secchi depth).
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2017)
Water transparency serves as an index for the trophic state of a water body. It reflects eutrophication through changes in the phytoplankton abundance; increase in the ambient nutrient status in the water leads to higher ...
Guidelines for monitoring of turbidity.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2017)
Turbidity estimates the impact of light scattering due to particles on the level of light attenuation in the water column. It is affected by total suspended solids (i.e., organic and inorganic particles) in the water, and ...
Guidelines for sampling and determination of ammonium.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2017)
Dissolved inorganic nitrogen is present in seawater both as nitrite, nitrate and ammonium. As a complement to the overall assessment of nutrient status, detailed information on the distribution of different species must ...
Guidelines for sampling and determination of dissolved oxygen in seawater.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2018)
The dissolved oxygen (DO) content in seawater is controlled by several unrelated processes including exchange with air, metabolism of plants and animals, microbial and chemical decomposition of organic matter, hydrodynamic ...
Guidelines for sampling and determination of nitrate
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2017)
Dissolved inorganic nitrogen is present in seawater both as nitrite, nitrate and ammonium. As a complement to the overall assessment of nutrient status, detailed information on the distribution of different species must ...
