As part of the MOSES Project, in April 2023 methane measurements were started in the north-western part of the island Heligoland in the German Bight (North Sea). The objective was to complement the measurements of the Sternfahrten to identify the carbon cycle and its flow from the start of the Elbe river into the North Sea. Therefore, a Contros methane sensor for dissolved methane was deployed under water at about 10 to 12 meter depth (depending on the tide) close to the underwater observatory (UW-OBS) MarGate (54°11' N, 7°52' E), from the COSYNA Project. To ensure correct values latter was cleaned frequently from growing organisms by scientific divers. The present data contains the data from 2024, the second year running the sensors. Based on the concentrations of dissolved methane the methane emissions (diffusive flux) was calculated.
In continuation of the previous cruises (Sternfahrten) we covered a similar area with the RVs Ludwig Prandtl and Mya II. All instruments were set up in the MOSES laboratory container. Standard hydrographic parameters were determined with a pocket ferrybox running with ship's surface water supply. In addition, dissolved methane was determined continuously. We used a degassing unit which was using surface water from the ship's water supply. The gas mixture was subsequently analysed with a Greenhouse Gas Analyzer from LosGatos. Conversion to methane concentration was performed with water samples, from which the methane content was determined with gas chromatography. Atmospheric methane concentrations were obtained from the ICOS-station Helgoland. Wind speed was obtained from the ships meteorological systems. The diffusive flux was calculated as outlined in the additional meta data description.
Küstenstreifen Westküste, Fehmarn mit herausragender Bedeutung als Nahrungs- und Rastgebiet außerhalb von EG-Vogelschutzgebieten, sowie Helgoland
In January 2024 a river flood by the Elbe and Weser resulted in very high discharge of freshwater into the German Bight. To follow this river, plume the RV Mya II cruised from Sylt and between Helgoland, Cuxhaven, Büsum. All instruments were set up in the MOSES laboratory container. Standard hydrographic parameters were determined with a pocket ferrybox running with ship's surface water supply. In addition, dissolved methane was determined continuously. We used a degassing unit which was using surface water from the ship's water supply. The gas mixture was subsequently analysed with a Greenhouse Gas Analyzer from LosGatos.

Blatt Helgoland erfasst zum großen Teil den rezenten Meeresboden der Nordsee, wobei Helgoland und Helgoländer Bucht im zentralen Teil des Kartenausschnitts liegen. Nach Süden sind das Niedersächsische Wattenmeer und die Küste Ostfrieslands mit den Inseln Baltrum, Langeoog, Spiekeroog, Wangerooge und Mellum abgebildet. Im Südosten werden die Buchten des Jadebusens und der Wesermündung sowie die Küstenregion zwischen Bremerhaven und Cuxhaven erfasst, während sich im Nordosten das Schleswig-Holsteinische Wattenmeer erstreckt. Bei der quartären Sedimentdecke, die das Kartenblatt überzieht, nimmt das Holozän eine Vormachtstellung ein. Verschiedene Faziesbereiche werden dabei unterschieden: rezenter Meeresboden, Insel- und Strandbereich mit marinen, litoralen oder äolischen Feinsanden, Watt- und Marschgebiete mit marin-brackischen Ablagerungen, terrestrische Nieder- und Hochmoore. Pleistozäne Sedimente sind im Kartenausschnitt nur geringfügig verbreitet, dennoch sind Relikte aller drei Eiszeiten zu finden: glazilimnische Tone der Elsterkaltzeit, glazifluviatile Ablagerungen und Geschiebelehm/-mergel (Grundmoräne) der Saalekaltzeit, fluviatile und äolische Sande der Weichselkaltzeit. Neben der Legende, die über Alter, Petrographie und Genese der dargestellten Einheiten informiert, gewährt ein geologischer Schnitt entlang der ostfriesischen Nordseeküste zusätzliche Einblicke in den Aufbau des Untergrundes. Im dem West-Ost-Profil sind mehrere Salzstrukturen (Salzstöcke von Westdorf, Barkholt, Eversand und Spieka) angeschnitten, die unter einer mächtigen Deckschicht aus quartären und tertiären Sedimenten (bis 1000 m Tiefe) lagern.

A sublittoral transect (P3) in the North of Helgoland that had been investigated ~40 years earlier by Lüning (1970) was traversed again. Scuba dives were carried out between 13.07.2005 and 25.08.2005. For each sampling point, time, date and coordinates were given as well as the depth in m mean low water spring tide. 0.25 m² frames were used to obtain the species composition, total fresh mass and total dry mass. In addition, 1 m² frames were used to record the kelp community by counting the individuals and measuring kelp stipe length, kelp blade area, kelp blade fresh mass, kelp age and fresh mass of epiphytes on the kelp stipes. Equal Location IDs represent the same frame.
