Microbial and chemical data on sea-ice brines
Sea-ice brines were collected from sackholes drilled into the ice cover of Kanajorsuit Bay in 2013 and Kobbefjord in 2014 near Nuuk, Greenland, along with sea-ice cores and under-ice seawater samples. Data obtained include concentrations of bacteria, viruses, particulate organic carbon and nitrogen,...
