  2. Raunefjorden, Norway

  3. 9 mesocomsdeployedandmoored • each 25 m longwith a volumeof ca. 75 m3 • Initially open at top andbottom • coveredbynetswith 3 mm meshsize • enclosedwaterexchangingfor 3 days (Courtesy of Ulf Riebesell, IFM-GEOMAR)

  4. Set-up 3 mesocosms moored in a row With anchor weights at each end set of 3 mesocosms anchor weights (old railway wheels) (Courtesy of Ulf Riebesell, IFM-GEOMAR)

  7. After 3 days: • Closingsediment traps • Pullingupupperbags • Addingsalt (volumedetermination) • Homogenizing • CO2enrichment (in 4 steps) • Nutrientaddition (once) (Courtesy of Ulf Riebesell, IFM-GEOMAR)

  8. Sampling procedure: Sampling at the Mesocoms with zodiacs

  9. Integrating water sampler Gas samples directly taken on “Wassermann”

  10. Carbonate chemistry • In situ measurements of: • Total inorganic carbon (DIC) DIC= [CO2(aq)]+[H2CO3]+[HCO3-]+[CO32-] • Total alkalinity At=[HCO3-] +2[CO32-]+[B(OH)4-]+ [OH-]+[HPO42]+2[PO43]+ [SiO(OH)3-]+ [HS-]+[NH3]-[H+]-[HSO4-]-[HF]-[H3PO4] • pH pH = -log[H+] Overdetermination!!
