Radiosonde raw data measured during POLARSTERN cruise PS133/2, links to files
The meteorological observatory Polarstern continuously performs radiosoundings during times of ship operation. Typically, there is one launch to full altitude at 12 UTC every day. Additionally, there often is a launch with a smaller balloon for forecasting purposes (helicopter operations) around 6 UTC. All data published here is left "as recorded", no quality control was applied
Time series of formation pore fluid pressure and temperature from IODP Hole 319-C0010A measured by GeniusPlug in 2010
Oxygen isotope ratios of planktonic and benthic foraminifera collected from marine sediment core KR05-15_PC01 and KR05-15_PL01
A precise age model of marine sediment core is crucial for environmental studies of the past such as paleoceanography, paleoclimatology, and paleo-hazard studies. Here we report a dataset of oxygen isotope ratios of foraminifera collected from marine sediment cores recovered from the West Caroline Basin in the western equatorial pacific using a piston coring system of R/V Kairei in 2005 (KR05-15 PC01/PL01, 0.10°S 139.58°E, 3,226 m below sea level). The core depth 4.91–6.25 meters of 12.46-meter-long piston core (PC01), which corresponds to termination 2 (ca. 140–120 kyr ago), and a whole 0.53-m-long pilot core (PL01) were used for the measurement of oxygen isotopes of both planktonic (Globigerinoides ruber, Trilobus sacculifer) and benthic (Uvigerina spp.) foraminifera shells. The already published other datasets of oxygen isotopes of both planktonic and benthic foraminifera shells that were collected from the same sediment core (KR05-15 PC01) are also compiled

A new helium isotope recored of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum from ODP Site 198-1209 (S4)
The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; around 56 Ma ago) is arguably the most intensively studied event of rapid greenhouse warming of the geological past. The duration and age of the PETM, however, remains vividly debated, limiting our understanding of the response of the Earth System dynamics to rapid warming. Here we present new extraterrestrial helium 3 (3HeET) data across the PETM at ODP Site 198-1209 (N Pacific) that document a drop in 3HeET fluxes from 0.56 ± 0.02 pcm³/cm²/ka ~1 Ma prior to the PETM to values of 0.37 ± 0.02 pcm³/cm²/ka before and after the PETM. Our 3HeET-based chronology, optimized through spectral analysis and orbital tuning, indicates a duration of 160±10 ka for the PETM body/core, consistent with previous 3HeET estimates from ODP Site 208-1266 (Walvis Ridge). The PETM started at the onset of a 100 ka eccentricity maxima at 56080 ka BP and ended abruptly during a marked decline in eccentricity at 55883 ka, providing strong support for an orbital trigger of both its onset and termination. The reevaluation of the 3HeET age models of the high paleo-latitude ODP Site 113-690 shows that the prominent sedimentary and carbon isotope steps at this site were controlled by obliquity instead of precession. Our revised chronology suggests that obliquity was also the dominant driver of the repeated drops to lower δ13C values during the PETM in otherwise precession-dominated low latitude sites, possibly reflecting the repeated destabilization of methane hydrate or permafrost carbon stocks at high latitudes.
This dataset contains the grayscale reflectance logs obtained on core photographs for ODP Site 198-1209A, B and C, new records of helium isotope and non-carbonate fraction data for ODP Site 198-1209 and the reconstructed apparent 3HeET fluxes (FET), instantaneous sedimentation rates (ISR) and ages. We also report new bulk carbonate carbon and oxygen stable isotope data for ODP Site 198-1209 that are included in a compilation of published bulk carbonate data from the same site along with their corresponding 3HeET ages. We include a compilation of published benthic foraminifera carbon and oxygen stable isotope data for ODP Site 198-1209 with their corresponding 3HeET ages. We also report a compilation of Fe and Ca concentrations, stable isotope data measured on bulk sediment, planktonic and benthic foraminifera from ODP Site 113-690 that are reported against a revised 3HeET-based age model we developed for this site using published 3HeET data and a revised 3HeET flux of 0.42 ± 0.02 pcm³/cm²/ka and an age of 55916 ka BP for point F (169.05 mbsf)
