Description:
Dataset: Compiled Global Dataset of PIC/POC and bSi Concentrations Measured by In Situ Pumps
Description:
This dataset is a compiled global dataset of inorganic and organic carbon and biogenic silica concentrations measured by in situ pumps. We merged the Multiple Unit Large Volume in-situ Filtration System (MULVFS, Bishop et al. 1985) LVP PIC, POC, and bSi dataset published partially in Lam et al. 2011 with new data collected using McLane in-situ pumps equipped with two size-fractionating filters during the GEOTRACES program. The filter sizes generally consist of a 51 micrometer (μm) or 53μm pre-filter that collects large particles, followed by a 0.8μm or 1μm filter that collects smaller particles. We annotate large size fraction particles (〉53μm or 〉51μm) as "LSF", and small size fraction particles (1-53μm or 0.8-51μm) denoted "SSF" (small size fraction).
