Dataset: Size fractionated organic carbon and nitrogen concentration and stable isotopes from water column of the East Pacific Rise in April 2019 on the R/V Atlantis cruise AT42-09

Abstract

On R/V Atlantic cruise AT42-09 in April 2019, size fractionated suspended particulate organic matter samples from the water column at the East Pacific Rise (9°50'N 104°18.14'W) were obtained by opening the bottom of the Niskin bottle to ensured that particles that had sunk below the spigot were included. Between 100 and 120 L of water was gravity filtered, in sequence, through nylon mesh (142 mm diameter) of decreasing pore size (500, 180, 53, 20 µm and 5 µm mesh). The resuspended particulate ma...
