©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.The following dataset of SPE (solid phase extracted) DOM (dissolved organic matter) accompanies Phillips et al. 2022 (doi: 10.1073/pnas.2209152119). Our project sought to address the question of where long-lived organic molecules that are dissolved in the oceans come from, in particular molecules containing sulfur (S). Our approach was to measure the relative abundance of two stable sulfur isotopes (S-32 and S-34) in these molecules, which is technically very difficult due to the presence of mil...
Show moreSamples spanned basins and water depths, including the North Atlantic Gyre, Northeast Pacific oxygen minimum zone, Northeast Pacific Shelf, North Pacific Gyre, San Pedro Basin, Caeté Estuary, South Pacific Gyre, and the North Sea. Samples spanned depths of 0 to 4800 meters. Exact location data, including latitude, longitude, and collection depth are provided in the dataset. Most data in this dataset represent measurements of aliquots of archived samples from collaborators; these were collected on many different cruises, on many different dates, around the world. New samples represented in this dataset include: 12 samples collected at station HOT on the R/V Kilo Moana in November 2020 (KM2013) and 12 samples collected at station BATS in September 2020 (AE2014).
