Abstract:
Marine particulate organic carbon-13 stable isotope ratios (δ13C-POC) provide additional constraints and insights into the cycling of carbon from dissolved pools to marine ecosystems including anthropogenic contributions. For such purposes, a robust spatio-temporal coverage of δ13C-POC observations is essential. In this data product, we collected and merged two large data compilations (Close and Henderson, 2020; St John Glew et al., 2021) into our previous version (Verwega et al., 2021) to provide the largest available marine δ13C-POC data set. Additionally, we have incorporated more meta information including if the samples were acidified before measuring the isotope ratio. The data set consists of 6952 data points covering the global ocean from year 1966 to 2019. We provide the data in the following two formats for best application on specific research purposes: (1) A spreadsheet file including all collected individual data and meta-information; (2) Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) files that only include acidified samples (6633 total data points) interpolated onto a global ocean grid (1°x1° horizontal resolution, 33 vertical levels based on World Ocean Atlas 2009) for each month individually and all months combined, with each file covering the temporal range from year 1966 to 2019.
