Mean stable carbon isotope gradient between North Pacific and North Atlantic

This data set contains the mean stable carbon isotope gradient between the deep North Pacific and deep North Atlantic during the Holocene, Last Glacial Maximum, and the marine isotope stages of the mid-Piacenzian Warm Period. These values include estimates of their uncertainty as determined by a bootstrapping technique. These values were calculated from the Pliocene and Quaternary timeslices of benthic stable carbon isotope gradients compiled as part of this study (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.993230). These values give insights into how the storage of respired and disequilibrium carbon in the deep North Pacific has changed through time.
