Abstract
Total water-column Th-234 measurements collected during the 2012-2013 field season of the Palmer LTER program near Anvers Island in the Western Antarctic Peninsula. 238U-234Th disequilibrium is used as a proxy for sinking particle flux out of the upper ocean. Vertical profiles of 234Th were measured using standard small-volume techniques approximately weekly. Measurements typically spanned from the surface to a depth of 100 m.
For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/881459
