The resulting data set contains the quality-controlled data and corresponding quality flags. The data set contains data during transect and station. The rawdata are also available on request from the principal investigator.

Underway optical chlorophyll-a and turbidity data were collected along the cruise track with Sea-Bird Scientific ECO FLNTU sensors installed within two autonomous measurement systems, called self-cleaning monitoring boxes (SMBs). The SMBs measure alternatingly. While one box is measuring, the other one is being cleaned. The water inlet for the SMBs is at about 4 m below sea surface. Observed chlorophyll-a and turbidity data were both quality controlled and the chlorophyll-a data was additionally calibrated using chlorophyll-a reference data from discrete water samples taken from the CTD water sampler at 10 m depth. Sample chlorophyll-a was determined spectrophotometrically following Jeffrey and Humphrey (1975) as in EPA Method 446. Note that the ship crossed various biogeochemical provinces leading to high variability in the data and, additionally, non-photochemical quenching effects can be observed making it difficult to robustly calibrate the data. A comparison of the calibrated chlorophyll-a with satellite data using the GlobColour CHL1 and CHL2 products is additionally provided. Details on all quality control steps, the calibration, and the comparison with satellite data can be found in the data processing report. The resulting data set contains the original data, the calibrated data (in case of chlorophyll-a) and corresponding quality flags achieved by the quality control algorithm. The data source is given through the name of the active SMB. The data set contains data during transit time and station work. We recommend to use ship's speed to filter for only transit data.
During R/V Maria S. Merian cruise MSM97/2 a sensor box (AddOn Box) was attached to a PocketFerryBox (4H Jena, Germany) in-line obtaining waters from the ships two autonomous measurement systems (RSWS). For the measurement of underway absorption spectra to calculate optical nitrate, the AddOn Box was equipped with two UV-process spectrophotometer (ProPS and OPUS, TriOS Mess- und Datentechnik GmbH, Germany). Data were recorded continuously in a ten-minute interval along the cruise track with an optical path length of 10 mm. The integration time was 256 ms. The ProPS photometer is equipped with a Deuterium lamp as light source whereas the OPUS photometer is equipped with a Xenon flash lamp. Baseline calibrations were done for both UV-photometer using ultrapure water. For the ProPS, the calibration was done in the laboratory before the cruise whereas the calibration for the OPUS was done by the manufacturer. The water inlet of the RSWS is allocated at approx. 6.5 m below the sea surface. While one box is measuring, the other box is being cleaned. The boxes switch after a user-defined measuring and cleaning interval. On MSM97/2, the boxes were alternating every 12 hours, including one short cleaning procedure during measurements after 4 hours. Absorption spectra obtained by the AddOn Box during the alternation process of the two RSWS, as well as during the internal cleaning procedure are not included. Spectra from station work are included. Within this dataset, absorption spectra were cut to a relevant wavelength range (from 189-360 nm (ProPS) and 199-360 nm (OPUS) to 210-260 nm). No further correction was done for the absorbance spectra in this processing step. After the cruise, gathered absorption spectra were used to improve current processing algorithms of optical nitrate detection for coastal and open ocean waters. Processing was performed according to Zielinski et al. (2011) and Frank et al. (2014) using MATLAB (R2018a). Detailed processing steps for the calculation of optical nitrate can be found on Zenodo (doi 10.5281/zenodo.4091420 ). Temperature and salinity data are necessary to compute nitrate values from derived UV-spectra and were taken from the attached PocketFerryBox using a SBE45 probe (Sea Bird Scientific, USA). A linear CDOM-offset correction was carried out. Nitrate reference spectra and salinity reference spectra were measured in the laboratory before the cruise. Corresponding nitrate reference samples using wet chemical analysis will be published separately.
Reference measurements of surface waters were collected during the RV MARIA S Merian cruise MSM97/2 (12.12.2020 - 23.12.2020, Emden, Germany - Emden Germany). Accompanying the underway measurements of the DAM transit cruise water samples were taken from the CTD and the onboard measurement containers (RSWS) for later validation of bio-optical water properties. Turbidity and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDOM) were measured directly onboard via handheld instruments (see methods/device) whereas suspended particular matter (SPM) and chlorophyll a (Chl a) were filtered onboard on glas fibre filters (GFF, 47mm, 0,7 µm) and frozen at -25°C and -80°C immediately after sampling. Values were determined in the lab after the cruise within 2 months, for SPM via gravimetric analysis and for Chl a according to EPA Method 445. Water samples for nitrate analysis were taken and frozen at -25°immediately after sampling for later lab analysis according to Grasshoff et al. (1999).
