Radiosonde raw data measured during POLARSTERN cruise PS139/1, links to files
The meteorological observatory Polarstern continuously performs radiosoundings during times of ship operation. Typically, there is one launch to full altitude at 12 UTC every day. Additionally, there often is a launch with a smaller balloon for forecasting purposes (helicopter operations) around 6 UTC. All data published here is left "as recorded", no quality control was applied

Continuous salinity observations at station BEFmate_S3pio, 2019-03 to 2023-09
Data presented here were collected between 2019-03 and 2023-09 at station BEFmate_S3pio within the research unit DynaCom (Spatial community ecology in highly dynamic landscapes: From island biogeography to metaecosystems, https://uol.de/dynacom/ ) involving the Universities of Oldenburg, Göttingen, and Münster, the iDiv Leipzig and the Nationalpark Niedersächsisches Wattenmeer. Experimental islands and saltmarsh enclosed plots were established in the back-barrier tidal flat and in the saltmarsh zone of the island of Spiekeroog (Germany). Salinity at different elevation zones was measured using conductivity loggers deployed in dip wells within experimental islands as well as in the saltmarsh enclosed plots. Measurements were obtained using HOBO U24 Conductivity Logger U24-002-C (Onset Computer Corporation, Bourne, MA/USA). All devices were pre-calibrated by the manufacturer. Logged data were retrieved in the field using a Hobo Underwater Shuttle (U-DTW-1) and were read out with the HOBOware Pro (V3.7.28) software. Salinity was derived in HOBOware Pro using temperature-dependent, nonlinear seawater conductivity compensation following the Practical Salinity Scale (PSS-78). Subsequent data processing was done using MATLAB (R2024b). Post-processing and quality control included (a) the removal of data covering maintenance activities, (b) the removal of implausible values using fixe thresholds (salinity > 40 psu and 35 °C and < -5 °C), c) an outlier detection using the Hampel filter method, and (d) visual checks. Identified outliers were removed and synchronously removed across all associated parameters (temperature and salinity)
Seabed photographs taken along OFOBS profile PS126_27-2 during POLARSTERN cruise PS126
During the RV POLARSTERN cruise PS126 (2021-05-24 to 2021-06-27) to the long-term ecological research station HAUSGARTEN observatory in the Fram Strait the Ocean Floor Observation and Bathymetry System (OFOBS) was used to collect still images from various locations surveyed during the expedition. The OFOBS consisted of a towed underwater camera system equipped with a high-resolution photo-camera (iSiTEC, CANON EOS 5D Mark III). The camera was mounted on a steel frame (140 L x 92 W x 135 H cm), together with two strobe lights, three laser pointers spaced with a distance of 50 cm used to estimate the size of seafloor structures, four LED lights, and a USBL positioning system (Posidonia). An automatic seafloor image was taken every 20 seconds to obtain 'TIMER' stills distributed at regular distances along each of the survey profiles. Additional 'SW_RELEASER' photos were triggered individually when interesting objects appeared in the live feed. During this expedition, no positioning data was available for the OFOBS. Here, image data of OFOBS deployment PS126_27-2 is presented

M/S Silja Serenade (Helsinki-Stockholm) pCO2 data 2018-2020
This data set contains the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (CO2) present in seawater together with temperature, salinity and other necessary auxiliary information measured on a voluntary observing ship, M/S Silja Serenade between April 2018 and April 2020. During this period, M/S Silja Serenade operated daily on a route Helsinki-Mariehamn-Stockholm in the Baltic Sea. During the ice season of 2018-2019, the flow-through system was set offline and no measurements were taken. The measurement setup of seawater CO2 (SuperCO2, Sunburst Sensors) consists of two showerhead equilibrators where the CO2 is equilibrated between the continuous water stream and the overlaying gas which is directed to an infrared gas analyzer (LI-840A, LI-COR), which measures the molar fraction of CO2. The measured molar fraction of CO2 has been corrected for the sensor drift by using four reference gases, which are measured every four hours. The calculation of the partial pressure of CO2 is based on these drift corrected molar fractions. The flow-through system is part of the Alg@line network of Finnish Environment Institute and the pCO2 measurement is governed by Finnish Meteorological Institute. This measurement has been supported by the BONUS INTEGRAL project, the JERICO research infrastructure and Finnish Marine Research Infrastructure and the SEASINK Finnish Academy project. The metadata (see dataset comments) contains information about the data quality control and assurance, including an information about the flagging system used
