PI: Paul Quay and Jianrong Zhang
dataset: Dissolved Inorganic Carbon, delta13C and delta18O
project/cruise: EQPAC/TT007
ship: Thomas Thompson
The methodology is described in the following literature:
1. Kroopnick P. M. (1974) The dissolved O2-CO2-13C system in the
eastern equatorial Pacific. Deep-Sea Research, 21, 211-227.

fossil fuel CO2:Carbon-13 Evidence, Science, 256, 74-79.
EqPac bottle quality review summary from DMO
DMO cautionary note:
The DMO suspects a misalignment of either bottle number or the
corresponding depth/pressure for event number 03010354. Possible solutions
are: bottle 19 at 54 meters or bottle 18 at 64 meters.
Parameter Description Units
event event number from cruise logs MMDDhhmm
sta station number
lat_n nominal latitude of station, (- south whole degrees
indicator)
lon_n nominal longitude of station, (- west whole degrees
indicator)
cast CTD rosette cast number
bot rosette bottle number
press sample depth reported as pressure decibars
TCO2_man total carbon dioxide in seawater, micromoles C/kilogram
manometric method
delta13C ratio carbon 12 to carbon 13 corrected
to PDB standard
delta18O ratio oxygen 16 to oxygen 18 corrected
to PDB standard, delta 18O are for the
oxygen in CO2 converted from DIC.
q_flag quality flag, applies to all samples
2 means ok
3 indicates a questionable sample
