Description
Summary:Dataset abstract TEP are operationally defined as gel particles that are retained on 0.4 µm polycarbonate filters and stained with the cationic copper phthalocyanine dye Alcian Blue 8GX at pH 2.5. CSP are gel particles retained on 0.4 µm polycarbonate filters that are stained with a solution of Coomassie Brilliant Blue G (CCB) at pH 7.4. Seawater surface samples (5 m) were collected every 6 hours from the ship’s underway pump. In addition, vertical profiles (6 depths, generally from 5 to 100-150 m) were sampled from 19 CTD casts using a SBE 911 Plus attached to a rosette of 24 12-L PVC Niskin bottles. This dataset presents TEP and CSP from seawater samples collected from the ship’s underway pump and CTDs. Samples were collected around the Southern Ocean on the R/V Akademik Tryoshnikov in the austral summer of 2016/2017, as part of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
