  • Data from two small streams, two rivers and rainfall fractions in the Western Amazonian basin at Tambopata National Reserve in Madre de Dios region, Peru. Data presented are nutrients (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, total soluble phosphorus and silica) and fluvial carbon - dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and its isotopic composition δ13C-DIC, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC). Samples were collected during the period from February 2011 to May 2012 targeting both wet and dry seasons. Samples for DIC samples were collected using pre-acidified evacuated Exetainers. Established standard methods were used to take samples for DOC and nutrients. Established standard methods were used to analyse samples for DIC, DOC and nutrients These methods are outlined in the lineage. The samples were taken to understand the hydrological controls on the carbon concentrations and fluxes during different flow conditions. The data collection was carried out as part of the Natural Environment Research Council funded Amazonica project.

  • Seawater samples between 2010-12-28 and 2020-02-28 were collected year-round and quasi-weekly in Ryder Bay, along the West Antarctic Peninsula, as part of the Rothera Oceanographic Time Series (RaTS). The majority of samples were collected at 15 m depth. At a lower frequency, samples were collected at additional depths, i.e., mostly at 40 m, 5, m, and 2 m. Samples have been analysed for dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA) to study the carbonate chemistry of the upper ocean, from which the fugacity of CO2 (fCO2) is derived. This dataset also includes additional variables of the RaTS-array that are ancillary to DIC and TA results, and to fCO2 calculations: seawater temperature, salinity, and nutrients (nitrate, silicate, and phosphate). DIC/TA data between 2010-12-28 and 2014-02-21 have previously been published in NCEI by Bakker et al. (2017), and are included in this dataset. Physical variables and nutrient data have also been published in the UK Polar Data Centre by Clarke et al. (2022).
