This dataset comprises planktic stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen isotope (δ18O) data as well as element/Calcium ratios from piston core SO213_08-2, which was recovered from the South Pacific (37°29.47 S 95°20.61 W) from 2172 m water depth. Measurements were performed on the planktic foraminiferal species Globigerinoides ruber, Globigerina bulloides, and Globorotalia inflata. Sampling and analytical studies were carried out from 0.365–11.965 m core depth at ~8 cm spatial resolution. The isotope analyses were performed on a Thermo Scientific MAT 253 mass spectrometer with an automated Kiel IV carbonate preparation device. The element/Calcium analyses were run on an ICP-OES, VARIAN 720-ES, with prior reductive and oxidative cleaning of foraminiferal tests.-95.3435-37.49117Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, Bonnhttps://doi.org/10.13039/50110000234703G0213BSOPATRA
