Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

The 13C/12C stable carbon isotopic ratio of the dissolved inorganic carbon from samples collected on the GEOTRACES EPZT cruise (R/V Thomas G. Thompson TN303) in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific from October to December 2013 (NCEI Accession 0291445)

Preview graphic

This dataset contains data collected on R/V Thomas G. Thompson during cruise TN303 in the South Pacific Ocean from 2013-10-29 to 2013-12-18. These data include depth. The instruments used to collect these data include Mass Spectrometer and Niskin bottle. These data were collected by Paul Quay of University of Washington as part of the "U.S. GEOTRACES East Pacific Zonal Transect (U.S. GEOTRACES EPZT)" and "US GEOTRACES Pacific: Measuring the d13C-DIC distribution and quantifying the impact of organic matter export on d13C, nutrients and trace metals (EPZT d13C-DIC)" projects and "U.S. GEOTRACES (U.S. GEOTRACES)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-04-10.

Data Presentation Form	Digital table - digital representation of facts or figures systematically displayed, especially in columns
Dataset Progress Status	Complete - production of the data has been completed Historical archive - data has been stored in an offline storage facility
Data Update Frequency	As needed
Supplemental Information	Acquisition Description: Shipboard Sample Collection Methods: Sampliing was done using the ODF CTD rosette (12 30L Niskins). Samples were collected in pre-washed and baked 250 ml ground glass stoppered bottles that were poisoned with 100 ul of a saturated HgCl2 solution. The stored sealed samples were returned to the Stable Isotope Laboratory at the University of Washington for extraction and measurement. Laboratory Methods: CO2 was extracted from the DIC seawater sample using a modification of the helium stripping technique described in Quay and Stutsman (2003). The del13C was measured on a Thermo Delta Plus XL mass spectrometer.
Purpose	This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
