Hydrocast isotope concentrations of Cesium 137 and 134 from the R/V Ka`imikai-O-Kanaloa KOK1108 cruise in June 2011 in the Northwest Pacific Ocean (Fukushima Radionuclide Levels project) (NCEI Accession 0288309)
This dataset contains data collected on R/V Ka`imikai-O-Kanaloa during cruise KOK1108 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2011-06-06 to 2011-06-18. These data include depth nominal. These data were collected by Dr Kenneth O. Buesseler of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Establishing Radionuclide Levels in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans Originating from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Facility (Fukushima Radionuclide Levels)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-05-16.
The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:
Cs137 and Cs134 concentrations from Fukushima Radionuclide Project
Dataset Description:
This dataset includes radionuclide results determined from high purity germanium detectors and calibrated against IAEA standards as described in Buesseler et al. (2012). Concentrations of Cesium isotopes Cs137 and Cs134 are reported in Bq per meter^3 from an underway system that was hull-mounted at a depth of approximately 2 meters.

Supplemental Information | Change History: Note that updated Cesium data measurements were contributed by Ken Buesseler in October 2012. The online dataset has been revised to include these measurements. A PDF version of these updates is available (). The data are in the same format as Table S1 in the 2012 Buesseler et al. PNAS paper cited below. The net difference in old vs. new is 0.3%, but a few values have changed by 5% or more. The update reflects a second run of the chemical yields measured for stable Cs by ICPMS. |
Purpose | This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. |
