Dissolved methane concentrations, diffusive methane flux and EOVs in the German Bight in February 2025 (Sternfahrt 13)

In continuation of the previous cruises (Sternfahrten) we covered a similar area with the RV Heincke. 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.

Dissolved methane concentration and diffusive flux near Sylt, North Sea in summer 2023

In July 2023 a cruise with RV Mya_II took place to investigate if the dredging of sand off Sylt influences the atmospheric and dissolved methane concentrations. With the ship's system water temperature and salinity was recoreded, as well as the wind speed. Atmospheric concentrations were measured with a LICOR trace gas analyzer. Dissolved methane was determined via a degassing system connected to a greenhouse gas analyzer as online measurements. Theses relative concentrations were converted to concentrations with water samples analyzed with gas chromatography.
