Flow cytometry dataset from CTD casts showing the abundance of microorganisms (smaller than 20 µm) during the Arctic MOSAiC expedition ...
This dataset gives an overview of the abundance of microorganisms (smaller than 20 µm) enumerated using flow cytometry (FCM) during the Multidisciplinary drifting observatory for the study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) sampled from ship-based and on-ice CTD rosettes during leg 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (Novembe...

Summary: | This dataset gives an overview of the abundance of microorganisms (smaller than 20 µm) enumerated using flow cytometry (FCM) during the Multidisciplinary drifting observatory for the study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) sampled from ship-based and on-ice CTD rosettes during leg 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (November 2019 – September 2020). Additional expedition and sampling details can be found in the ECO-overview paper (Fong et al., to be submitted to Elementa). We thank all persons involved in the expedition of the Research Vessel Polarstern during MOSAiC in 2019-2020 (AWI_PS122_00) as listed in Nixdorf et al. (2021).Flow cytometry (FCM) is a fast, high-throughput method to enumerate the abundance of microorganism (smaller than 20 µm). FCM uses the hydrodynamic focusing of a laminar flow to separate and line up microscopic particles. When particles pass a laser beam, the generated light scattering can be used to estimate their cell size, obtain information about cell granularity and surface characteristics and determine ... |
