Multibeam bathymetry processed data (EM 1002 echosounder entire dataset) of RV MARIA S. MERIAN during cruise MSM62/2

Swath sonar bathymetry data used for that dataset was recorded during RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM62/2 using Kongsberg EM1002 multibeam echosounder. The cruise took place between 23.03.2017 and 27.03.2017 in the Baltic Sea. The cruise aimed to investigate the impact of the Littorina transgression on the inflow of saline waters into the western Baltic and assessed the potential for future diminution of ventilation in the central and northern deeper basins due to isostatic uplift [CSR]. CI Citation: Paul Wintersteller (seafloor-imaging@marum.de) as responsible party for bathymetry raw data ingest and approval. During the MSM62/2 cruise, the moonpooled KONGSBERG EM1002 multibeam echosounder (MBES) was utilized to perform bathymetric mapping in shallow depths. The echosounder has a curved transducer in which 111 beams are formed for each ping while the seafloor is detected using amplitude and phase information for each beam sounding. For further information on the system, consult https://www.km.kongsberg.com/. Postprocessing and products were conducted by the Seafloor-Imaging & Mapping group of MARUM/FB5, responsible person Paul Wintersteller (seafloor-imaging@marum.de). The open source software MB-System (Caress, D. W., and D. N. Chayes, MB-System: Mapping the Seafloor, https://www.mbari.org/products/research-software/mb-system, 2017) was utilized for this purpose. A sound velocity correction profile was applied to the MSM62/2 data; there were no further corrections for roll, pitch and heave applied during postprocessing. A tide correction was applied, based on the Oregon State University (OSU) tidal prediction software (OTPS) that is retrievable through MB-System. CTD measurements during the cruise were sufficient to represent the changes in the sound velocity throughout the study area. Using Mbeditviz, artefacts were cleaned manually. NetCDF (GMT) grids of the edited data as well as statistics were created with mbgrid. The published bathymetric EM1002 grid of the cruise MSM62/2 has a resolution of 15 m. No total propagated uncertainty (TPU) has been calculated to gather vertical or horizontal accuracy. A higher resolution is, at least partly, achievable. The grid extended with _num represents a raster dataset with the statistical number of beams/depths taken into account to create the depth of the cell. The extended _sd -grid contains the standard deviation for each cell. The DTMs projections are given in Geographic coordinate system Lat/Lon; Geodetic Datum: WGS84.

Multibeam bathymetry processed data (EM 1002 echosounder entire dataset) of RV MARIA S. MERIAN during cruise MSM52

Swath sonar bathymetry data used for that dataset was recorded during RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM52 using Kongsberg EM1002 multibeam echosounder. The cruise took place between 01.03.2016 and 28.03.2016 in the Baltic Sea. The cruise aimed gapless imagining of the major pre-alpine tectonic lineaments due to the fact that the Glückstadt Graben and the Avalonia-Baltica suture zone run across the southern Baltic [DOI: 10.2312/cr_msm52].

PHILEAS (Untersuchung des Transport aus dem asiatischen Sommermonsun in hohe Breiten)

PHILEAS (Probing high latitude export of air from the Asian summer monsoon)Die asiatische Sommermonsun Antizyklone (AMA) während des Nordsommers wird als ein Haupttransportweg in die obere Troposphäre / untere Stratosphäre (UTLS) für troposphärische Luftmassen, die viel H2O und Aerosolvorläufergase und Verschmutzung enthalten, gesehen. Neuere Beobachtungen zeigen eine große Bedeutung des Transports von Ammoniumnitrat durch die AMA für das Aerosolbudget und die asiatische Tropopausenaerosolschicht (ATAL), wahrscheinlich auch mit Konsequenzen für die Zirrenbildung.Neuere flugzeuggetragene Messkampagnen konnten die Zusammensetzung und Aerosolgehalt im Inneren der AMA charakterisieren oder werden in unmittelbarer Nähe Messungen erheben. Im Gegensatz dazu wurde der Einfluss von monsungeprägten Luftmassen auf die Gesamtzusammensetzung der nördlichen untersten Stratosphäre, z.B. bei HALO Mesungen nachgewiesen. Allerdings gibt es bisher keine Studie, die den Übergang der AMA Luftmassen in die extratropische unterste Stratosphäre (LMS) und die Konsequenzen für Aerosolprozessierung und Zusammensetzung zeigt. Im Rahmen der früheren HALO Missionen TACTS/ESMVal und WISE hat sich gezeigt, dass der nördliche Zentralpazifik eine Schlüsselregion für diesen Übergang ist.Beobachtungen und Modelldaten zeigen eine besondere Bedeutung des sogenannten ‘eddy-sheddings‘ für die Befeuchtung der nördlichen UTLS an. Diese Eddies stellen isolierte dynamische Anomalien dar, die sich von der AMA gelöst haben und mit der Hintergrundströmung in der Atmosphäre zu zirkulieren beginnen. Die chemische Zusammensetzung der Eddies ist zunächst isoliert von ihrer Umgebung. Dynamische und diabatische Prozesse erodieren jedoch diese Anomalien und führen zu einer allmählichen Vermischung mit dem stratosphärischen Hintergrund.Weitere Transportpfade beeinflussen die Zusammensetzung der UTLS über dem Pazifik im Sommer: i) quasi-horizontales Mischen über den Subtropenjet ii) konvektiver Eintrag tropischer Taifune, die in die Extratropen wandern können iii) Wettersysteme der mittleren Breiten. Bei PHILEAS ist geplant, die relative Bedeutung verschiedener Prozesse für die Gasphasen und Aerosolzusammensetzung der UTLS zu untersuchen. Dabei soll insbesondere die dynamische und chemische Entwicklung ehemaliger AMA Filamente untersucht werden, die sich von der AMA abgespalten haben und über dem Pazifik aus der Troposphäre in die Stratosphäre übergehen.Insgesamt ergeben sich drei Hauptthemen, die die PHILEAS Mission motivieren:1) Welche Haupttransportpfade, Zeitskalen und Prozesse dominieren den Transport aus der AMA in die unterste Stratosphäre?2) Wie entwickeln sich Zusammensetzung der Gasphase und der Aerosole während des Transports speziell durch die 'shed eddies'?3) Welche Bedeutung hat der Prozess der Wirbelablösung für das globale Budget der UTLS speziell von H2O und infrarot-aktiven Substanzen?

Processed data are provided as a master track with 1 sec resolution derived from the position sensors' data selected by priority and a generalized track with a reduced set of the most significant positions of the master track.

Eurasian Modern Pollen Database (former European Modern Pollen Database)

The Eurasian Modern Pollen Database (EMPD) contains modern pollen data (raw counts) for the entire Eurasian continent. Derived from the European Modern Pollen Database, the dataset contains many more samples West of the Ural Mountains. We propose this dataset in three different format: 1/ an Excel spreadsheet, 2/ a PostgreSQL dump and 3/ a SQLite3 portable database format. All three datasets are strictly equivalent. For download see "Original Version".

In situ high spectral resolution inherent and apparent optical property data from diverse aquatic environments

Light emerging from natural water bodies and measured by remote sensing radiometers contains information about the local type and concentrations of phytoplankton, non-algal particles and colored dissolved organic matter in the underlying waters. An increase in spectral resolution in forthcoming satellite and airborne remote sensing missions is expected to lead to new or improved capabilities to characterize aquatic ecosystems. Such upcoming missions include NASA's Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Mission; the NASA Surface Biology and Geology observable mission; and NASA Airborne Visible / Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) - Next Generation airborne missions. In anticipation of these missions, we present an organized dataset of geographically diverse, quality-controlled, high spectral resolution inherent and apparent optical property (IOP/AOP) aquatic data. The data are intended to be of use to increase our understanding of aquatic optical properties, to develop aquatic remote sensing data product algorithms, and to perform calibration and validation activities for forthcoming aquatic-focused imaging spectrometry missions. The dataset is comprised of contributions from several investigators and investigating teams collected over a range of geographic areas and water types, including inland waters, estuaries and oceans. Specific in situ measurements include coefficients describing particulate absorption, particulate attenuation, non-algal particulate absorption, colored dissolved organic matter absorption, phytoplankton absorption, total absorption, total attenuation, particulate backscattering, and total backscattering, as well as remote sensing reflectance, and irradiance reflectance.

Global database of key seagrass structure, biomass and production variables

Seagrass meadows provide valuable socio-ecological ecosystem services, including a key role in climate change mitigation and adaption. Understanding the natural history of seagrass meadows across environmental gradients is crucial to decipher the role of seagrasses worldwide. This database comprises of data compiled from peer-previewed publications (1975-2020; based on a Web of Science search) containing 11 individual measures of seagrass meadow structure (e.g. percent cover), biomass (e.g. above-ground biomass) and productivity (e.g. shoot production). Each row of data also includes biological, spatial and temporally relevant information such as bioregion, latitude, longitude, sampling year and genera. This compiled database will facilitate a deeper understanding of spatial and temporal patterns in seagrass meadow structure, biomass and production characteristics globally.

Mixed layer depth values for the n = 1968 modern dinocyst database extracted from the World Ocean Atlas 2018, Argo floats data 2005-2017

Monthly, seasonal and annual mixed layer depth (MLD) values at the 1968 sites of the modern dinocyst database by de Vernal et al. (2020). The MLD values were extracted from the World Ocean Atlas 2018 (WOA18) objectively analyzed mean field of Argo floats data of 2005-2017 using a density threshold of 0.125 kg/m3 with reference to 10 m depth. In order to get an MLD value that corresponds to each site, the MLD climatology products were interpolated to the previously published 1968 sites.
