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.

Light effects on the vertical positioning of the freshwater jellyfish (Craspedacusta sowerbii Lankester, 1880)

We experimentally manipulated the presence of light and light intensity (F = 36.7 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹; D = 0 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹; L = 4.8 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹; M = 21.4 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹) and tested their effects on the vertical positioning of the freshwater jellyfish (Craspedacusta sowerbii) medusae. For the experiments, approximately 100 C. sowerbii medusae were collected in August 2017 in two lakes (Haager Weiher and Leitner Weiher) in Bavaria, Germany. Testing was carried out at Seeon Limnological Station in close vicinity to the collection site. The experimental columns were 7.4 cm in diameter and 170 cm high and were marked with horizontal lines every 5 cm for visual position estimation. Four replicates run in parallel. One C. sowerbii medusa was used in each experimental column. Data cover three light treatments, each run twice: 1) 16:8 h full light (F)–dark (D) light intensity cycles (nF = 716, nD = 428), 2) 16:8 h full light (F)–full dark (D) light intensity cycles complemented with low (L) and medium (M) light intensities (nF = 96, nM = 96, nL = 48, nD = 288), and 3) altered light intensities in approximately 2-hour periods randomly among dark, low, medium, and full light intensities (nF = 96, nM = 76, nL = 72, nD = 336). Results show that light alone was sufficient to trigger a vertical position change of jellyfish towards the water surface, especially high light.

High-resolution measurements of essential climate variables in the North Sea from the autonomous surface vehicle HALOBATES during RV Heincke cruise HE626

The autonomous surface vehicle HALOBATES collected key climate variables, including sea surface temperature (SST) and salinity (SSS), during the RV Heincke cruise HE626 in the German Bight. HALOBATES recorded SST and SSS at seven different depths with a high vertical resolution of approximately 10 cm, ranging from the near-surface layer (NSL) (between 30 and 100 cm) to the sea-surface microlayer (SML) (uppermost millimeter). Temperature and conductivity (used for salinity calculation) were measured using conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) sensors connected to a flow-through system on HALOBATES. Additional temperature sensors were placed beneath the catamaran to capture in-situ temperature at six depths within the NSL. Salinity measurements were adjusted using discrete water samples to correct for any sensor biases. During the operation, two data loggers equipped with meteorological stations on the catamaran monitored essential weather conditions. HALOBATES was in operation from July 21, 2023, to August 8, 2023.

High-resolution measurements of essential climate variables in the North Sea from the autonomous surface vehicle HALOBATES during RV Heincke cruise HE614

The autonomous surface vehicle HALOBATES measured Essential Climate Variables (ECV), such as sea surface temperature (SST) and salinity (SSS), during the RV Heincke cruise HE614 in the German Bight. HALOBATES captured the SST and SSS at seven depths with a high vertical resolution of about 10 cm, from the near-surface layer (NSL) (between 30 and 100 cm) and the sea surface microlayer (SML) (upper millimeter). Conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) sensors measured temperature and conductivity (for salinity calculation) via a flow-through system on HALOBATES. Additional temperature sensors were mounted underneath the catamaran to measure in-situ temperature in situ at six depths in the NSL. Salinity was corrected with discrete water samples to remove biases between the sensors. Two data loggers with several meteorological stations on the catamaran captured important weather variables during operation time. The surfactant concentration was measured from discrete samples of SML and 100 cm depth. HALOBATES was operated between 01 March 2023 and 22 March 2023.

Greenhouse gases in the River Elbe, 2020-2024

Measurements of dissovled greenhouse gases (GHG) being CO2, CH4 and N2O were performed from 2020 until 2024. Water samples were taken from bridges at tow locations at the river Elbe; Magdeburg and Wittenberge. For CO2, CH4, and N2O analysis, 30 mL water samples were collected in 60 mL plastic syringes. A headspace of 30 mL ambient air was added. After vigorously shaking for one minute the headspace was transferred to pre-evacuated 12 mL exetainers (Labco, UK) and water temperature in the syringe (=equilibration temperature) was measured. Ambient air samples for headspace correction were taken on each occasion. These samples were analysed in the laboratory with gaschromatography (Koschorreck et al 2021). Water physicochemical parameter (temperature, O2, pH) were measured immediately with a WTW-probe. Water-chemical variables were measured using standard methods as described in Kamjunke et al. (2021).

Küstengewässer Chemie

Bei der qualitativen Überwachung der Küstengewässer stehen die Erfassung der verschiedenen physikalischen und chemischen Belastungen und ihre Auswirkungen auf die aquatischen Lebensgemeinschaften sowie die Erfolgskontrolle eingeleiteter Maßnahmen im Vordergrund. Sie erfolgt seit 1993 auf der Grundlage der jährlich durch das Ministerium für Klimaschutz, Landwirtschaft, ländliche Räume und Umwelt M-V (LM) herausgegebenen Gewässerüberwachungserlasse. Der Schwerpunkt der Untersuchungen in Wasserproben liegt bei den gut wasserlöslichen Stoffen, während Stoffe, die sich in Sedimenten und in Biota (z.B. Fische oder Muscheln) anreichern, in diesen Kompartimenten zu untersucht werden. Hierbei sind EU-Richtlinien und internationale Vereinbarungen, sowie nationale Gesetzgebung, zu berücksichtigen. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern hat eine Küstenlänge von 1.712 Kilometer, davon 354 Kilometer Küste zur offenen See Die inneren Küstengewässer von der Wismarbucht im Westen bis zum Kleinen Haff im Osten weisen eine Fläche von rund 1.710 km2 auf.

KOSMOS 2023 Helgoland mesocosm study on ocean alkalinity enhancement: sediment trap particle flux data and water column biogeochemistry

The data presented herein originates from a mesocosm study conducted as part of the BMBF CDRmare, Retake project (grant agreement no. 03F0895A), aimed at investigating the ecological ramifications of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE). Twelve mesocosms were deployed in Helgoland South Harbor, Germany, and systematically sampled using integrated water samplers over the period spanning from March 12th to April 20th, 2023. Six alkalinity levels under two dilution scenarios were established to differentiate between localized and uniform OAE additions. Alkalinity was increased stepwise to ΔTAmax = 1250 μmol kg-1 (250 μmol TA kg-1 increments) using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with calcium chloride (CaCl2) to simulate cation release during calcium-based mineral dissolution, causing strong carbonate chemistry perturbations (e.g., pHT > 9.25). The dataset encompasses a spectrum of sediment trap particle flux data, water column biogeochemistry including pigment variables, inorganic nutrients, carbonate chemistry parameters. The study and data set offer insights into impacts of alkalinity enhancement on marine ecosystems and their associated biogeochemistry.

Carbonate chemistry speciation of the 2023 KOSMOS Helgoland experiment on the effects of ocean alkalinity enhancement on pelagic foodwebs

This dataset contains carbonate chemistry speciation data of the 2023 KOSMOS mesocosm study on Helgoland, Germany. This study tested the effects of ocean alkalinity enhancement simulating lime additions on pelagic ecosystem functioning during a spring bloom. Carbonate chemistry speciation (fCO2, pHT, calcium carbonate saturation state) was generally calculated from measurements of total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in depth-integrated water samples. There were 12 mesocosms in total and in 6 of them an alkalinity gradient of up to +1250 umol/kg was established in steps of 250 umol/kg. In the remaining 6 the same amount of alkalinity was added only to the upper portion of the mesocosms, resulting in twice the alkalinity increase there, before being mixed in after 48 hours. The two treatments simulated the immediate dilution of TA after ship deployment as well as a delayed one from a point source.

Flüssigkeitschromatographie-Tandem-Massenspektrometer

Die Analytik und Bewertung von Spurenverunreinigungen und deren Transformationsprodukten in der aquatischen Umwelt sowie in technischen Wasseraufbereitungsverfahren im Spuren- und Ultraspurenbereich ist einer der Hauptschwerpunkte in Forschung und Lehre der Wasserchemie am Engler-Bunte-Institut des KIT (KIT-EBI). Das vorhandene Triple-Quad (Anschaffungsdatum: 2000) entspricht nicht mehr dem aktuellen Stand der Technik und Forschung. Zudem steigen die Reparaturkosten überproportional und Ersatzteile werden nicht mehr hergestellt. Daher wird der Service des Gerätes auch in absehbarer Zukunft eingestellt werden. Die Triple-Quad Geräte der neuesten Generation weisen eine um den Faktor 200-500 (substanzspezifisch) höhere Sensitivität auf, als das vorhandene Gerät. Das beantragte Gerät soll daher u.a. auch zur Direktinjektion und online Anreicherung von Wasserproben genutzt werden und so Kosten und Zeit zur Probenvorbereitung einsparen. Die UHPLC ist zeitgemäß und ermöglicht neben den normalen chromatografischen Anwendungen auch Trennungsgänge bei Drücken bis 1200 bar. Vom Anbieter wurde dem KIT-EBI im Rahmen des Kaufs eines Triple-Quad Systems eine Kooperation mit der Möglichkeit zur Messung an Q-ToF Geräten zugesagt, die für non-target Fragestellungen und Transformationsprodukt-Identifizierung genutzt werden können.
