Depth profiles of the isotopic composition (δ30Si) of silicon within dissolved silicic acid from samples collected on Leg 2 of the US GEOTRACES Pacific Meridional Transect (PMT) cruise (GP15, RR1815) on R/V Roger Revelle from October to November 2018

The isotopic composition of dissolved silicon (δ30Si) has proven to be a powerful tool to better understand the marine Si cycle. The δ30Si of seawater carries information about dissolved silicon utilization in surface waters, the subsequent dissolution of sinking biogenic material as well as water mass mixing. This data set supplies information on the spatial distribution of isotopes of Si within water masses from Tahiti to Alaska along GEOTRACES section GP15. This dataset results from leg 2 of the expedition, RR1815; data from RR1814 are available in a separate BCO-DMO dataset.
