Project OTC-Genomics: Environmental and microbial time series data from the Warnow estuary and the Baltic Sea coast

Estuaries and coasts are characterized by ecological dynamics that bridge the boundary between habitats, such as fresh and marine water bodies or the open sea and the land. Because of this, these ecosystems harbor ecosystem functions that shaped human history. At the same time, they display distinct dynamics on large and small temporal and spatial scales, impeding their study. Within the framework of the OTC-Genomics project, we compiled a data set describing the community composition as well as abiotic state of an estuary and the coastal region close to it with unprecedented spatio-temporal resolution. We sampled fifteen locations in a weekly to twice weekly rhythm for a year across the Warnow river estuary and the Baltic Sea coast. From those samples, we measured temperature, salinity, and the concentrations of Chlorophyll a, phosphate, nitrate, and nitrite (physico-chemical data); we sequenced the 16S and 18S rRNA gene to explore taxonomic community composition (sequencing data and bioinformatic processing workflow); we quantified cell abundances via flow cytometry (flow cytometry data); and we measured organic trace substances in the water (organic pollutants data). Processed data products are further available on figshare.

Continuous optical chlorophyll-a and turbidity data along RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM129/1

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 containers, as part of the "Reinseewassersystem" (RSWS). The containers measure alternatingly. While one container is measuring, the other one is being cleaned. The boxes switched generally every 12 hours. The water inlet for the RSWS is at about 6.5 m below sea surface. Observed chlorophyll-a and turbidity data were both quality controlled. Analysis of the chlorophyll-a and turbidity data during parallel operation of the sensors in the two boxes showed significant differences between the sensors. The sensors were aligned resulting in consistent chlorophyll-a and turbidity time series. The corrected chlorophyll-a data were calibrated based on chlorophyll-a values from discrete water samples taken from a RSWS water outlet in the hangar. Samples were frozen and measured fluorometrically in the lab. The time series was separated into two sections, coastal and open ocean, which were calibrated independently. The turbidity time series was also compared to suspended particulate matter from water samples, however, correlation was low and therefore the comparison not used for calibrating turbidity. The calibrated chlorophyll-a time series and corrected turbidity time series were compared against Globcolour CHL1 and TSM products, respectively. Details on all quality control steps, the calibration, and the comparison with satellite data can be found in the data processing report. The data set user should keep in mind that some parts of the time series are likely affected by non-photochemical quenching, see data processing report. It was out of the scope of the quality control to flag or correct non-photochemical quenching. The resulting data set contains the original data and corresponding quality flags achieved by the quality control algorithm as well as the calibrated chlorophyll-a and corrected turbidity data with corresponding quality flags. The data source is given through the name of the active container. The data set contains data during transit time and station work. We recommend to use ship's speed to filter for only transit data.

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.

Continuous optical chlorophyll-a and turbidity data along R/V SONNE cruise SO285

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.

Continuous bio-optical measurements of chloropyll a and turbidity along RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM97/2

Underway bio-optical sensor measurements of chlorophyll a and turbidity were acquired along the cruise track of RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM97/2. Measurements were collected with two autonomous measurement systems (RSWS), which are located at 6.5 m below the sea surface. Usually, the RWS-System with measuring container 1 and 2 (MC1 and MC2) interchanged after 6 hours. Only en route data was collected and quality controlled. No data from stationary measurements (in situ) were included. Quality Control specifically for biogeochemical measurements had been applied. For details to all processing steps see Data Processing Report.

Neben Fischen verendeten auch andere aquatische Organismen wie Schnecken und Muscheln. Das tatsächliche Ausmaß der Umweltschäden und die langfristigen Auswirkungen auf das Ökosystem können derzeit noch nicht quantifiziert werden. Die Anwendung zeigt bildhaft anhand von Diagrammen die Verläufe der Messwerte der verschiedenen gemessenen Parameter an ausgewählten Messstellen.

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.

Reference measurements of surface waters and optical water quality variables (Secchi depth and Forel-Ule color indexes) collected during two RV Otzum cruises along the river Elbe in 2012 and 2013

Reference measurements of surface waters were collected during two RV Otzum cruises along the river Elbe in 2012 and 2013 (Ot2012_05: 21.-24.05.; Ot2013_05: 27.-30.05.2013). Temperature [°C], salinity, turbidity [NTU], and chlorophyll from fluorescence [µg/L] were measured by a PocketFerrybox System (values given to the time of sampling). Water samples were taken from the outlet of the system. 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 (IOCC recommendations) and for Chl a according to EPA Method 445. Water clarity and color were observed using a white Secchi disc with a diameter of 30 cm and a Forel-Ule color scale. The Secchi depth (SD) was recorded as a relative measure of water clarity at each in situ station during day time. At half SD the apparent color of the water above the submerged Secchi disc was determined using the Forel-Ule color scale. A Forel-Ule color scale is a classic tool used to differentiate the percieved color of water based on a scale from 1 (indigo blue) to 21 (cola brown). The measurements were conducted as recommended in literature (Garaba and Zielinski, 2015; Wernand, 2011; Wernand and van der Woerd, 2010). Measurements were part of the project DOMsense (01.11.2011 - 31.05.2014, KF2866501DF1)

FerryBox-integrated membrane-based pCO2, temperature, salinity, oxygen, chlorophyll, turbidity and pH measurements of BU-C-2207 during RV Burchana cruise

The submitted data were collected with a FerryBox-Device on RV Burchana in the transitional and coastal waters of Lower Saxony, Germany. It contains data for temperature, salinity, pH, chlorophyll, oxygen, turbidity and carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) at a water depth of approximately 1.3 m. Within the Carbostore project, totally 8 measurement campaigns were carried out in the years 2021 to 2023. The data is reprocessed and related to a 60 s period. In order to obtain a complete (but rough) overview of the pCO2 situation in this area, values outside the calibration limits (200-1000 µatm) were retained. Dissolved oxygen measurements were corrected by temperature and salinity. The sensors are regularly calibrated, maintained and replaced if necessary. The files are named according to the project, the year and the month of the campaign.
