Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: POC, DOC, TOC, and BC collected and analyzed as in Zigah, P.K., Minor, E.C., and Werne, J.P. (2012). Radiocarbon and stable-isotope geochemistry of organic and inorganic carbon in Lake Superior. Global Biogeochemical Cycles 26, GB1023, doi:10.1029/2011GB004132 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2011GB004132/pdf 2. Methods for processing the data: POC, DOC, TOC, and BC collected and analyzed as in Zigah, P.K., Minor, E.C., and Werne, J.P. (2012). Radiocarbon and stable-isotope geochemistry of organic and inorganic carbon in Lake Superior.

Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: none 4. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: TOC and DOC data were calibrated using potassium hydrogen phthalate standards (KHP). The POC and BC data were calibrated with certified reference materials (low organic soil B-2153, sorghum flour B-2159; from Elemental Microanalysis Ltd., Okehampton, Devon, UK) and in-house standards (acetanilide, caffeine) 5. Environmental/experimental conditions: 6. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: Field blanks were collected as described in post-refinery report_082918.pdf 7. People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission: In addition to PIs listed above, Sarah Grosshuesch and Ellen Cooney from LLO were involved in sample processing and analyses.
