Electron Transport System (ETS) Assay in the Atlantic Ocean

This dataset comprises measurements of microbial community respiration, derived from electron transport system (ETS) activity assays, in discrete water samples collected with Niskin bottles. ETS activity (mmol O2 m⁻³ d⁻¹) was determined enzymatically as a proxy for aerobic microbial and planktonic respiration, and respiratory oxygen consumption (RO2, mmol O2 m⁻³ d⁻¹) was subsequently calculated by applying respiration-to-ETS conversion factors of 0.75 for samples from the epipelagic zone and 0.086 for samples from the mesopelagic zone. Each of the 219 sampling stations was additionally assigned to an open-ocean biogeochemical province following the classification of Reygondeau et al. (2018). Samples were collected at depths ranging from 5 m to 4539 m water depth during thirteen research cruises carried out between November 2006 and April 2025: RODA-I (2006), RODA-II (2007), CAIBEX and CAIBOX (2009), HOTMIX and PUMP (2014), FLUXES I (2017), TRATLEQ1/M158 (2019), e-IMPACT1 and e-IMPACT2 (2022), APERO (2023), MICOLOR2 (2024) and OceanICU (2025). The combined geographical coverage extends across the eastern boundary upwelling system off northwest Africa (Canary Upwelling System, Cape Blanc, Canary Eddy Corridor), the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre, the equatorial Atlantic, and a transect across the eastern South Atlantic and equatorial Atlantic between Walvis Bay (Namibia) and the Canary Islands; the HOTMIX cruise additionally sampled the eastern Mediterranean Sea before transiting into the Atlantic.

Maps resulting from Spatial Prioritisation carried out for iAtlantic - Systematic Conservation Planning reported in D5.3 and included in MS25

This data publication contains maps resulting from spatial prioritisations conducted for the iAtlantic D5.3 report on Systematic Conservation Planning of the wider Atlantic Ocean based on results generated by the iAtlantic project. The maps were produced using the prioritizr R package (Hanson et al. 2023), which identifies priority areas for achieving specific conservation goals while minimising costs. The various prioritisations were developed to address multiple research questions related to: (1) identifying priority areas for conservation and restoration, (2) transboundary conservation, (3) climate-smart conservation planning, and (4) protecting 30% of the Atlantic Ocean, including 10% under strict protection. The results are organised into subfolders based on the research questions addressed and further categorised into data-rich and data-poor regions, along with aggregate results for each region. Further, the results are organised into subfolders representing multiple scenarios executed using various cost layers, including area-based, Global Fishing Watch (GFW, 2023) benthic, GFW total fishing, Global Fisheries Landings (GFL, Watson 2019) v4.0 benthic, and GFL v4.0 total landings. Each map filename provides descriptive information about the executed scenario.

Multibeam bathymetry raw data (Atlas Hydrosweep DS 3 echo sounder entire dataset) of RV POLARSTERN during cruise PS132

Multibeam data were collected with RV Polarstern along the route of cruise PS132 and data acquisition was continuously monitored during the survey. Multibeam sonar system was Teledyne/Atlas Hydrosweep DS3. SVPs were retrieved from CTD data. SVPs were processed with HydrOffice SoundSpeedManager (https://www.hydroffice.org/soundspeed/main) and extended with World Ocean Atlas 18 (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/NCEI-WOA18). SVP data were applied during acquisition. Multibeam data are unprocessed and may contain outliers and blunders and should not be used for grid calculations and charting projects without further editing. The raw multibeam sonar data in Teledyne/Atlas multibeam processing format (.asd) were recorded with Teledyne/Atlas Parastore software as well as Teledyne Reson format (.s7k) in Teledyne PDS. Raw data files can be processed using software packages like CARIS HIPS/SIPS. For updated vessel configuration files check further details.

Analyse der physiologischen Grundlagen interspezifischer Tiervergesellschaftungen und strukturelle und physiologische Mechanismen der Umweltanpassung von Tieren

Es wird untersucht, welche physiologischen, ethologischen und oekologischen Voraussetzungen erfuellt sind, damit es zum Zusammenleben artverschiedener Tiere im marinen Bereich kommt. Es werden die Signale bzw. Kommunikationsmoeglichkeiten, die haeufig chemischer Natur sind, analysiert.

Sklerochronologie und Isotopie von Korallen in Belize, Zentralamerika

Vom größten Riffkomplex des Atlantischen Ozeans vor der Küste von Belize (Zentralamerika) liegen bislang keine historischen Klimadaten aus Korallen vor. In dem hier beantragten Projekt sollen 18 bereits vorliegende Bohrkerne aus massiven Korallen von Belize sklerochronologisch und geochemisch untersucht werden. Variationen der Wachstumsraten und Schwankungen in der isotopischen Zusammensetzung von Kohlenstoff und Sauerstoff in den Korallenskeletten sollen ermittelt werden, um eine Klimageschichte der letzten 150-200 Jahre für die Region aufzustellen. Da die Kerne in unterschiedlichen Rahmenbedingungen (offenmarine, lagunäre und landnahe Position; unterschiedliche Wassertiefen) genommen wurden, sollte es weiterhin möglich sein, Einflüsse lokaler Variationen von Umweltparametern wie Temperatur, Salinität, Nährstoffgehalten und Licht zu entziffern. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie sollen mit publizierten historischen Klimadaten des COADS (comprehensive ocean-atmosphere data set) Datensatzes verglichen werden. Weiterhin ist geplant, die Daten mit anderen im Atlantik im Bereich der Sklerochronologie tätigen Arbeitsgruppen auszutauschen, um einen Beitrag zur Rekonstruktion der Veränderlichkeiten von Meeresströmungen und Klima im karibisch-atlantischen Raum zu leisten.

Kurzfristige Variabilität von Klima und Ozeanographie des subtropischen Nordwest-Atlantik

Mit detaillierten paläo-ozeanographischen Zeitserien soll das Wechselspiel zwischen nord- und südatlantischen Wassermassen und die Veränderlichkeit des transäquatorialen Wärmestromes rekonstruiert werden. Über Passagen in den Kleinen Antillen fließt warmes Oberflächenwasser aus dem Nordatlantik durch das Tobago Becken in die Karibik. Dieses Wasser fließt weiter in den Golf von Mexiko, dem Ursprungsgebiet des warmen Golfstromes. Das hier beantragte Vorhaben konzentriert sich auf die mikropaläontologische Auswertung von Sedimentmaterial, das im Rahmen der fünften Expedition des internationalen IMAGES Projektes im Juni 1999 im Tobago Becken gewonnen wurde. Feinskalige Paläo-Oberflächentemperaturprofile sollen für die letzten 150.000 bis 200.000 Jahre mit Hilfe der statistischen Bearbeitung der Vergesellschaftung planktonischer Foraminiferen entlang eines 38 m langen Sedimentkernes erstellt werden. Damit sollen kurzfristige Variabilitäten im Warmwasserpool des subtropischen Nordatlantik nachgezeichnet und versucht werden, zeitliche und mechanistische Querbezüge zu den raschen Klimawechsel im nördlichen Nordatlantik abzuleiten.
