Gravity core XRF data from the Porcupine Abyssal Plain

<p>X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) data from three gravity cores obtained during NOC expedition JC231 (2022) for the "Time-series studies at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain Sustained Observatory". These three gravity cores (GC050; GC073; GC076) were collected from different sites at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (AESA Hill; AESA North Plain; PAP Central respectively).&nbsp;</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>Ship/Platform</td> <td>Cruise Identifier</td> <td>Sample Identifier</td> <td>Site</td> <td>Number of Sections</td> <td>Section Identifier</td> <td>Date Sample Collected</td> <td>Decimal Latitude</td> <td>Decimal Longitude</td> <td>Water Depth (m)</td> <td>Sampling Device</td> <td>Storage Method</td> <td>Core Length (cm)</td> <td>Core Diameter (cm)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>RRS James Cook</td> <td>JC231</td> <td>GC050</td> <td>AESA Hill</td> <td>2</td> <td>Section 1</td> <td>09/05/2022</td> <td>48 59.103</td> <td>16 33.17</td> <td>4795</td> <td>Gravity core</td> <td>room temperature, dry (D)</td> <td>100</td> <td>6.5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>RRS James Cook</td> <td>JC231</td> <td>GC050</td> <td>AESA Hill</td> <td>2</td> <td>Section 2</td> <td>09/05/2022</td> <td>48 59.103</td> <td>16 33.17</td> <td>4795</td> <td>Gravity core</td> <td>room temperature, dry (D)</td> <td>50</td> <td>6.5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>RRS James Cook</td> <td>JC231</td> <td>GC073</td> <td>AESA North Plain</td> <td>3</td> <td>Section 1</td> <td>12/05/2022</td> <td>49 0.657</td> <td>16 33.221</td> <td>4846</td> <td>Gravity core</td> <td>room temperature, dry (D)</td> <td>100</td> <td>6.5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>RRS James Cook</td> <td>JC231</td> <td>GC073</td> <td>AESA North Plain</td> <td>3</td> <td>Section 2</td> <td>12/05/2022</td> <td>49 0.657</td> <td>16 33.221</td> <td>4846</td> <td>Gravity core</td> <td>room temperature, dry (D)</td> <td>100</td> <td>6.5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>RRS James Cook</td> <td>JC231</td> <td>GC073</td> <td>AESA North Plain</td> <td>3</td> <td>Section 3</td> <td>12/05/2022</td> <td>49 0.657</td> <td>16 33.221</td> <td>4846</td> <td>Gravity core</td> <td>room temperature, dry (D)</td> <td>100</td> <td>6.5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>RRS James Cook</td> <td>JC231</td> <td>GC076</td> <td>PAP Central&nbsp;</td> <td>3</td> <td>Section 1</td> <td>12/05/2022</td> <td>48 50.095</td> <td>16 31.331</td> <td>4843</td> <td>Gravity core</td> <td>room temperature, dry (D)</td> <td>100</td> <td>6.5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>RRS James Cook</td> <td>JC231</td> <td>GC076</td> <td>PAP Central&nbsp;</td> <td>3</td> <td>Section 2</td> <td>12/05/2022</td> <td>48 50.095</td> <td>16 31.331</td> <td>4843</td> <td>Gravity core</td> <td>room temperature, dry (D)</td> <td>100</td> <td>6.5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>RRS James Cook</td> <td>JC231</td> <td>GC076</td> <td>PAP Central&nbsp;</td> <td>3</td> <td>Section 3</td> <td>12/05/2022</td> <td>48 50.095</td> <td>16 31.331</td> <td>4843</td> <td>Gravity core</td> <td>room temperature, dry (D)</td> <td>80</td> <td>6.5</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
