Data sets

Stable carbon isotopes of dissolved inorganic carbon for RRS James Clark Ross cruise JR302 in the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean from June to July 2014 Matthew P. Humphreys, Florence M.

Short summary

This paper reports the stable isotope composition of dissolved inorganic carbon in seawater for a transect from west to east across the North Atlantic Ocean. The results can be used to study oceanic uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide, and also to investigate the natural biological carbon pump. We also provide stable DIC isotope results for two batches of Dickson seawater CRMs to enable intercomparisons with other studies.
