Cruise AL567 (R/V Alkor) sampled the water column in German territorial waters of the southwest Baltic Sea during 18-30 October 2021. This dataset contains concentrations of dissolved munition compounds from 88 Niskin bottle rosette casts between sea surface and seafloor. Samples were collected at the sea surface (1-2 m depth), approximately 2 m above the seafloor, and immediately below the pycnocline. Dissolved explosives in the samples were measured following Gledhill et al. (2019). Briefly, discrete samples (1 L) were preconcentrated onboard using solid-phase extraction. Target compounds were eluted with acetonitrile, further concentrated by evaporation, and measured by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and high resolution heated electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
Cruise POS530 (R/V Poseidon) sampled the water column throughout German territorial waters of the southwest Baltic Sea during 01-21 October 2018. The current dataset contains concentrations of dissolved munition compounds from Niskin bottle rosette casts between sea surface and seafloor. Vertical sampling resolution varied among stations, with a maximum of 9 sampling depths. Dissolved explosives in the samples were measured following Gledhill et al. (2019). Briefly, discrete samples (1 L) were preconcentrated onboard using solid-phase extraction. Target compounds were eluted with acetonitrile, further concentrated by evaporation, and measured by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and high resolution heated electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
This dataset consists of munition compound data from the analysis of water samples collected along a cruise track that went through German and Danish waters of the western Baltic Sea in October 2023 during ALKOR cruise AL603. The cruise track started and ended in the Bay of Kiel, via the Little Belt, Bay of Aarhus, Great Belt and Bay of Mecklenburg. Water column samples were collected from 99 stations. Surface and deep-water samples were collected using a rosette of Niskin bottles. A CTD sensor package was also mounted on the the Niskin rosette frame. Samples (1L) were extracted onboard onto solid phase extraction (SPE) columns. Munition compounds were eluted from the SPE columns using acetonitrile, concentrated and reconstituted in 50% methanol/water. The samples were analyzed by ultra high-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry.
Die EU-Meeresstrategie-Rahmenrichtlinie (MSRL) und die EU-Wasserrahmenrichtlinie (WRRL) erfordern die Erreichung bzw. Erhaltung des guten Umweltzustands von Nord- und Ostsee. Grundsätzlich wird davon ausgegangen, dass ein effektiver Meeresschutz einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Klimaschutz leistet. Dahinter steckt die Annahme, dass gesunde Küsten- und Meeresökosysteme mehr Kohlendioxid und Nährstoffe speichern können als anthropogen beeinträchtige Systeme. So führt z.B. die Eutrophierung zu vermehrtem Algenwachstum und einer Trübung des Wassers, die die Ausbreitung von Seegraswiesen beeinträchtigt, die größere Mengen an Kohlenstoff speichern. Andere Zusammenhänge sind weniger gut erforscht. So könnte es z.B. durch die Reduktion der Nährstoffeinträge und des in Folge abnehmenden Algenwachstums zu einer Reduktion des Transports von Kohlenstoff in die Meeressedimente kommen. Der gute Umweltzustand gemäß MSRL und der gute ökologische/ chemische Zustand gemäß WRRL sind anhand ausgewählter Indikatoren und ihrer Schwellenwerte klar definiert. Ziel des Vorhabens ist es, das Kohlenstoffs- und Nährstoffspeicherpotential im gegenwärtigen Zustand und im guten Umweltzustand auf der Basis von Monitoringdaten und Literaturstudien zu quantifizieren und zu vergleichen. Dies soll an ausgewählten, gut untersuchten Modellgebieten jeweils in den Küsten- und Meeresgewässern und in Nord- und Ostsee erfolgen. Der Fokus liegt zunächst auf der Eutrophierung, es sollen aber soweit auf der Basis der Datenlage möglich auch andere relevante Belastungen wie Schadstoffe und Baggergutentnahme untersucht werden. Auf der Basis der Untersuchungen der Modellgebiete soll eine Prognose des Kohlenstoffs- und des Nährstoffspeicherpotenzials für die gesamte Nord- und Ostsee im aktuellen und im guten Umweltzustand erarbeitet werden. Das Vorhaben soll darüber hinaus Empfehlungen erarbeiten, durch welche Maßnahmen sich das Kohlenstoffspeicherpotential von Nord- und Ostsee weiter stärken lässt.
Water column samples were collected from 62 sampling stations along a transect stretching from Flensburg Fjord to the Bay of Mecklenburg in October 2022 during ALKOR cruise AL583. Here, we present metadata and munition compound data for the samples. Surface, mid-depth and deep-water samples were collected using a rosette of Niskin bottles. A CTD sensor package was also mounted on the Niskin rosette frame. Samples (1L) were extracted onboard onto solid phase extraction (SPE) columns. Munition compounds were eluted from the SPE columns using acetonitrile, concentrated and reconstituted in 50% methanol/water. The samples were analyzed by ultra high-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry.
We present munition compound data from the analysis of water column samples collected from the entire length of the German waters of Baltic Sea in March 2023 during ALKOR cruise AL590. Water column samples were collected from 93 sampling stations along a transect stretching from Flensburg Fjord to Usedom. Surface and deep-water samples were collected using a rosette of Niskin bottles. A CTD profile was also attached to the Niskin rosette frame. Samples (1L) were extracted onboard onto solid phase extraction (SPE) columns. Munition compounds were eluted from the SPE columns using acetonitrile, concentrated and reconstituted in 50% methanol/water. The samples were analyzed by ultra high-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry.
