This data set describes the geographical and depth distribution of dissolved lignin phenols (terrigenous biomarker) and optical properties (Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) absorption coefficients and Florescent DOM parafac components) of DOM in the Arctic Ocean. Samples were collected during expeditions on the United States Cost Guard Cutter Healy (Canada Basin) and the Research icebreaker Polarstern (Eurasian Basin) between August 5 and October 10 2015.This sample set is part of the Arctic geotraces effort The geotraces project aims to increase knowledge of the marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes, since many trace elements are critical for marine life. Data are published along with hydrographic parameters including Pressure (depth), temperature, salinity and in situ fluorescence (Haardt Sonde).
