| Summary: | Short-term sediment traps were deployed at 3 stations on the West Greenland continental shelf in the Davis Strait. The deployments lasted for 18.7-24.4 hours and 100 mL subsamples were collected from the sediment trap cylinders (KC Denmark style with 72 mm inner diameter) deployed at the sampling depths 20, 30, 50, 90, and 120 m. The phytoplankton samples were preserved with 2 mL acidic Lugol solution, stored cool (+4 C) and in darkness, until the microscopical analysis. Since the sediment trap cylinders were not prefilled with filtered sea water, a minor overestimation of the downward flux cannot be excluded. From this field campaign, also the cruise report is publicly available on Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.5913276). In addition, the following data sets are available: 1) the concentration of suspended chlorophyll a and phaeophytin (>0.7 and >10 micrometre) as well as particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) in the water column (https://doi.org/10.11582/2024.00039), 2) ... |
