Compilation of MULVFS size-fractionated POC, PIC, and bSi data from 17 cruises conducted between 1973 and 2005

<p>This dataset compiles size fractionated (less than 53 micrometers (&lt;53um) and greater than 53 micrometers (&gt;53um)) particulate organic carbon (POC), particulate inorganic carbon (PIC), and biogenic silica (bSi concentrations collected by the Large Volume in-situ Filtration System (LVFS, Bishop and Edmond, 1976) and the Multiple Unit Large Volume in-situ Filtration System (MULVFS, Bishop, et al., 1985) between 1973 and 2005. A description of the compilation is given in Lam, et al. (2011), and the &gt;53um POC, bSi, and PIC and 1-53um POC data were published in the supplemental information of that paper. This data submission adds 1-53um PIC and 0.4um-53um bSi to those data, as well as includes a few more coastal stations that were not reported in Lam, et al. (2011).</p>
