conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) data, chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) profiles, particulate organic carbon (POC) fluxes, and stable carbon isotope (δ¹³C) compositions from five stations (P1–P5) in the low-latitude western North Pacific (6–13°N, 131.98–134.99°E). Data were collected during July–August 2023 aboard R/V Legend. The CTD system was a Sea-Bird Electronics SBE 9 equipped with a WETStar fluorometer. POC concentrations were determined using a Vario EL Cube elemental analyzer. POC fluxes were calculated from samples collected by floating sediment traps. Stable carbon isotope (δ¹³C) compositions of POC in floating-trap samples were analyzed with a continuous-flow isotope-ratio mass spectrometer (MAT253, Thermo Finnigan, San Jose, CA, USA) coupled to an elemental analyzer (EA1108, Carlo Erba Instruments) via a Conflo III interface (Thermo Finnigan, San Jose, CA, USA).</description></descriptions><geoLocations><geoLocation><geoLocationBox><westBoundLongitude>131.98</westBoundLongitude><eastBoundLongitude>134.99</eastBoundLongitude><southBoundLatitude>6.01</southBoundLatitude><northBoundLatitude>13.0</northBoundLatitude></geoLocationBox></geoLocation></geoLocations><fundingReferences><fundingReference><funderName>National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan</funderName><funderIdentifier funderIdentifierType="Crossref Funder ID">https://doi.org/10.13039/501100004663</funderIdentifier><awardNumber>NSTC 111-2119-M-019-002</awardNumber></fundingReference><fundingReference><funderName>National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan</funderName><funderIdentifier funderIdentifierType="Crossref Funder ID">https://doi.org/10.13039/501100004663</funderIdentifier><awardNumber>NSTC 112-2119-M-019-008</awardNumber></fundingReference><fundingReference><funderName>National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan</funderName><funderIdentifier funderIdentifierType="Crossref Funder ID">https://doi.org/10.13039/501100004663</funderIdentifier><awardNumber>NSTC 113-2119-M-019-008</awardNumber></fundingReference><fundingReference><funderName>National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan</funderName><funderIdentifier funderIdentifierType="Crossref Funder ID">https://doi.org/10.13039/501100004663</funderIdentifier><awardNumber>NSTC 114-2119-M-019-002</awardNumber></fundingReference></fundingReferences></resource>
