Suspended particulate total mercury and monomethylmercury across the US GEOTRACES East Pacific Zonal Transect, from cruise TN303, 2013

<p>This dataset includes concentrations of suspended particulate total mercury and monomethylmercury from 18 full-depth stations (16 depths each), and 4 stations on the South American margin (5–8 depths). Suspended particle samples (1 and 51 µm) were collected with a multiple-unit large-volume in situ filtration system.</p>

<p>Location and timing: October–December, 2013 from Manta, Ecuador to Papeete, Tahiti.</p>

<p>The section included stations between 10–15 °S from the Peru margin to 152 °W north of Tahiti. Samples were collected from the surface at 2 m to the ocean floor, as deep as 5500 meters. The section captured a buoyant hydrothermal vent plume extending over 4000 km west from the East Pacific Rise.</p>

本数据集收录了来自18个全深度站点（每个站点16个深度）的总悬浮颗粒汞浓度以及单甲基汞浓度，以及来自南美边缘的4个站点的（5至8个深度）相关数据。悬浮颗粒样品（1和51微米）采用多单元大体积原位过滤系统进行采集。

地理位置及时间：2013年10月至12月，从厄瓜多尔的曼塔至塔希提的帕皮提。

该区域包括从秘鲁边缘至塔希提北152°W之间的10至15°S之间的站点。样品采集自海面2米至海底，深度可达5500米。该区域捕捉到了从东太平洋海隆向西延伸超过4000公里的浮力热水喷口羽流。
