Dissolved concentrations and stable isotope ratios of Fe, Zn, and Cd from Leg 2 (Hilo, HI to Papeete, French Polynesia) of the US GEOTRACES Pacific Meridional Transect (PMT) cruise (GP15, RR1815) on R/V Roger Revelle from October to November 2018

Abstract

This dataset reports dissolved (0.2µm AcroPak filter) concentrations and stable isotope ratios of iron, zinc, and cadmium (Fe, Zn, and Cd) via Nobias PA-1 extraction and MC-ICPMS analysis in water samples collected by the GTC (GEOTRACES Trace-metal clean CTD carousel) and/or surface tow fish from 23 stations along the US GEOTRACES Pacific Meridional Transect (PMT) cruise (GP15) on R/V Roger Revelle from October to November 2018. The GP15 cruise sailed from September to November 2018 on a meridional transect along 152°W from Alaska to Tahiti. Concentration and isotope data were collected by Dr. Matthias Sieber and Dr. Tim Conway at the University of South Florida using a Thermo Neptune Plus MC-ICPMS. Trace metal isotope ratios are an important tool to better understand the marine cycles of trace metals and their relationship to major nutrients.
