Total suspended matter, particulate organic matter and particulate inorganic matter from discrete water samples during RV MARIA S MERIAN cruise MSM129/1

This dataset was collected during the cruise MSM129/1 with RV MARIA S. MERIAN from Warnemünde, Germany to St. John's, Canada. It contains suspended particulate matter, particulate organic matter and particulate inorganic matter measurements [mg/l] from water samples collected from the seawater supply (Reinseewassersystem, RSWS) to calibrate the turbidity data of the RSWS system. The outflow of a PocketFerrybox that was connected to the seawater supply in the hangar was used for sampling. It takes a substantial amount of time for the water to reach the hanger from the intake point. The time delay between the sensor readings of the RSWS and the PocketFerrybox was determined and the timestamps of the water sampling were adjusted accordingly. Given latitute and longitude refer to this corrected timestamp. The original time of water sampling in the hangar is given as an additional column with the comment time of sampling. To obtain suspended particulate matter concentrations, water samples were filtered onboard through 0.7 μm pore size, glass fiber filters (Whatmann GF/F, 47 mm) under low vacuum. Filters were frozen immediately at -80 °C until gravimetric analysis in the laboratory at ICBM, Wilhelmshaven according to IOCCG recommendations.

Supporting metadata for multiple oceanographic cruises with RV SONNE (SO254, SO245, SO248) and RV POLARSTERN (PS79), Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study and Hawaii Ocean Time-series

The data presented here include the metadata (cruise, station number, geographic coordinates, water depth, temperature, salinity and solid-phase extracted dissolved organic carbon concentrations (SPE-DOC)) for multiple oceanographic cruises in the Atlantic, Pacific and Southern oceans (HOTS, BATS, SO254, SO245, SO248, ANT 28-II, ANT 28-IV, and 28-V) between 2009 and 2017. These metadata were used in conjunction with the accompanying dataset to assess the role of deep ocean mixing in the molecular composition of dissolved organic matter was compiled from the CTD bottle data of multiple cruises, some of which are available on PANGAEA at the following links: SO248: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.864673, SO245: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.890394, SO254: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.890453.

Mikroplastik im Rhein

Greenpeace hat den Rhein mehrmals auf primäre Mikroplastikpartikel mit dem Schwerpunkt Microbeads untersucht und entsprechende Berichte zu den Ergebnissen veröffentlicht. Bei einer ersten Untersuchung im Jahr 2019 wurden 22 Proben zwischen Duisburg und Basel genommen und bis zu 7,2 Partikel pro Kubikmeter bei Köln-Stammheim gefunden. Ein Jahr später war Greenpeace für Untersuchungen wieder auf dem Rhein, dieses Mal zwischen Duisburg und Monheim. Während der Schiffstour wurden 44 Proben genommen, wobei die höchste Konzentration an Mikroplastikpartikeln bei 3,3 Partikeln pro Kubikmeter (Höhe Dormagen) lag. Eine Besonderheit stellten stündliche Probenahmen über 24-Stunden dar, die Greenpeace jeweils stromaufwärts und stromabwärts am Chempark Dormagen und am Chempark Krefeld-Uerdingen durchführte. Die Ergebnisse bestätigten, dass kontinuierlich Mikroplastikpartikel den Rhein stromabwärts gelangen. Die Mikroplastik-Konzentration war nachts niedriger als tagsüber. Darüber hinaus hat Greenpeace Mikroplastikpartikel in Sedimentproben vom Flussufer nachgewiesen. Greenpeace hat im Jahr 2021 weitere Untersuchungen durchgeführt. Die höchste Konzentration an Mikroplastikpartikeln lag bei 1,1 Partikeln pro Kubikmeter in einer Probe, die bei Dormagen entnommen wurde. Letztlich konnte Greenpeace in allen Wasserproben, die während der Schiffstouren genommen wurde, primäres Mikroplastik nachweisen.  Die Greenpeace-Expert:innen Manfred Santen und Daniela von Schaper haben das Projekt im Jahr 2020 geleitet.

Updated global compilation of coccolithophore calcification measurements from unperturbed water samples including ancillary data

This database expands the Poulton et al., 2018 (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.888182) database of pelagic calcium carbonate (CP) rate measurements from isotopic tracer uptake in incubated discrete water samples, as discussed in Daniels et al., 2018 (doi:10.5194/essd-10-1859-2018), and accompanies Marsh et al. (in prep.). The database now includes more CP (new data n = 400; complete database n = 3165), net primary production rate (PP) (new data n = 399; complete database n = 3150), total coccolithophore cell counts (new data n = 240; complete database n = 1512), and Emiliania huxleyi cell counts (new data n = 27; complete database n = 612). This expanded database maintains the record of data, including the principal investigator, expedition, OS region, doi reference (where available), collection date and year, sample ID, latitude, longitude, sampling and light depth, and method of measuring CP. We further expand the Poulton et al. (2018) data collection by including ancillary and environmental data, including: optical depth (OD, n = 3165), pHtotal (hereinafter referred to as pHT, n = 398), temperature (n = 1160), salinity (n = 1161), and the concentrations of chlorophyll a (n = 1363), NOx (NO3 or the sum of NO3 + NO2, n = 1161), silicic acid (Si(OH)4, n= 1156), phosphate (PO4, n = 1232), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC, n = 318), total alkalinity (TA, n = 307), bicarbonate ion concentration (n = 349), and carbonate ion concentration (n = 352). All data was matched to CP, sample bottle identifiers (Niskin bottle numbers), and/or sampling depth values. This global database (81 °N - 64 °S, 132 °E - 174 °W) now covers expeditions and upper ocean measurements (0 - 193 m) from 1989 to 2024. Global in-situ geolocated data spanning time is valuable for modelling, satellite algorithms, and capturing calcium carbonate production in the global ocean. This expanded database, including the environmental, nutrient, chlorophyll a, and carbonate chemistry data, also allows for analysis of factors influencing calcium carbonate production on a global scale. This data amalgamation contributes to understanding the biogeochemistry of the oceans, global carbon cycle, and ocean acidification.

Seasonal nutrient dynamic in the Elbe Estuary June 2019

This dataset contains measurements from LP20190603, collected aboard the R/V Ludwig Prandtl in June 2019 in the Elbe Estuary. In a transect cruise, geobiochemical parameters were measured starting in the North Sea (53.98°N 8.36°E) to the port of Oortkaten in the upstream Elbe Estuary (53.46°N 10.06°E). Sampling was conducted upstream against the outgoing tide to prevent tidal effects on the measurements. Water samples were taken approximately every 20 min. The discrete water samples were used to measure dissolved inorganic nutrient, nitrate stable isotope composition, suspended particulate matter (SPM) concentration, particulate carbon and nitrogen content of SPM and nitrogen stable isotope composition of SPM. An onboard membrane pump provided the on-line in situ FerryBox system. It continuously measured oxygen, salinity, and temperature during the cruise. A N2O analyzer coupled (Model 914-0022, Los Gatos Res. Inc., San Jose, CA, USA) with a seawater/gas equilibrator using off-axis cavity output spectroscopy continuously detected dry mole fraction of dissolved nitrous oxide along the estuary. Aim of the cruise was to study the interplay between eutrophication, in-stream nutrient regeneration and N2O emissions in a temperate Estuary.

Trachurus trachurus in the Sylt Rømø bight in 2022

Due to changing temperature regimes in the North- and the Wadden Sea, a fish survey in the Sylt Rømø bight (SRB) was established in 2007 for at least ten years. The aim is to investigate the Wadden Sea fish fauna with special interest in changes of migration behavior, species composition and feeding habits. Since 2021 an assessment of the epibenthic species in the net hauls was included. Seven stations are sampled monthly inside the SRB. Two additional stations, one outside the bight, one close to the Danish border are sampled as references four times a year. For sampling a mini bottom trawl, total length 17 m, trawl opening 7 m, height 3 m with a mesh size of 36 mm in the wings, 16 mm in the mid part and 6 mm in the cod end is used. At every station one haul in the water column and another at the bottom are sampled, for 15 minutes at a speed of approximately 2 knots. The data will help to give a more detailed picture of food chains and energy flows inside the Wadden Sea.

Distribution and concentration of nutrients, carbon compounds and methane in water samples in the southern German Bight (North Sea) in September 2024 during the MOSES Sternfahrt 12

The 12th Sternfahrt of the ElbeXtreme and MOSES projects took place in 2024 from September 02 to 13, within the area of the German Bight (North Sea). Its objective was to get a more systematic grid of sampling data by spatially integrated onboard sensors. Therefore, the MOSES-laboratory container was installed again. Water samples were taken from the surface with a rosette or via Niskin bottles. The first part of the cruise was conducted by the research vessel (RV) Ludwig Prandtl, starting on the 2nd of September on Heligoland. From there, the crew navigated towards Cuxhaven covering some stations from previous MOSES cruises. For the next days, the ship followed a rectangular track, shifting northward each day, heading towards Heligoland again. Due to strong winds, the sampling stations were reduced to three on the last day. On Heligoland the RV Mya II took over the laboratory container and other sampling equipment for the second part of the cruise. Persistent strong winds delayed the start of the cruise until September 11. Since most of the planned stations were already covered from the RV Ludwig Prandtl, the crew decided to expand the sampling area using a more systematic zig-zag line. With the return of Mya II in the afternoon of the 13th September 2024, the campaign was successfully finished.

KOSMOS 2023 Helgoland mesocosm study on ocean alkalinity enhancement: phytoplankton and microzooplankton abundance and biomass data

This dataset contains species-resolved phytoplankton and microzooplankton abundance and biomass data from the KOSMOS 2023 Helgoland mesocosm experiment conducted in the coastal waters off Helgoland Island in the North Sea, Germany. The experiment investigated the effects of Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) on plankton communities during the development of a natural spring bloom. Six mesocosms (~6 m³) were subjected to an immediate dilution OAE scenario, establishing an alkalinity enhancement gradient ranging from ΔTA 0 to 1250 µmol kg⁻¹ in increments of 250 µmol kg⁻¹ through calcium-based alkalinity addition. The dataset includes taxonomically resolved phytoplankton and microzooplankton abundance (cells mL⁻¹), carbon biomass (µg C L⁻¹), functional group classifications, and World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) taxonomic identifiers. Associated carbonate chemistry measurements, including total alkalinity (TA), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), pH, fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO₂), salinity, temperature, and calculated ΔTA values are provided for each sampling event.

Distribution of contaminants from the Elbe outflow into the North Sea (German Bight) based on water samples from the MOSES cruise Sternfahrt 10 in 2023

The Sternfahrt-10 of the MOSES campaign, from 29th August until the 15th of September 2023, had two objectives. One was to follow the dispersion of pollutants transported by the Elbe water into the North Sea, previously observed during the Elbe-Freshwater and Elbe-Tidal cruises. And second the distribution of the Elbe water within the German Bight. Therefore, drifter groups were deployed to follow individual water parcels. Those drifters were followed subsequently by three ships (RV Ludwig Prandtl, RV Littorina, RV Mya II), to extend the time period of measurements. Along the tracks, water samples were taken close to the drifters, alternatively at stations from previous cruises, resulting in 12 to 24 sampling points per week. In terms to detect the concentration of a variety of nutrients and carbon compounds from the south-eastern North Sea up to the island Amrum. Additionally, basic hydrographic parameters and greenhouse gases were sampled continuously throughout the whole cruise. Those results are not part of the present dataset, but can be found here, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.971874. To ensure the comparability of the measured parameters a transportable container laboratory was passed from ship to ship always equipped with the same sensor systems. Just for specific water samples some special equipment was added. A map of the different tracks as well as information about the used sensors and data treatment, you can find in the additional material. For more detailed information about the MOSES Project and the cruise Sternfahrt-10, see the article cited in references.
