Abundance of zooplankton during POLARSTERN cruise ARK-XII/1 (PS41)
No full textAbundances of zooplankton taxa were calculated in the Arctic Ocean during Polarstern cruise ARK-XII/1. Samples were taken with the Multinet midi (Hydrobios, Kiel), which is equipped with nine nets (mesh size: 150 µm)
Processed sensible and latent heat flux for summer 2016 at the EastGRIP site on the Greenland Ice Sheet - 30 min average
No full textProcessed 30 minute surface sensible and latent heat flux measured at 180 cm above snow surface. The eddy covariance system included a Campbell Scientific CSAT3 and a Krypton Hygrometer KH20 which were directed into the mean wind. The latent heat flux was calculated assuming a latent heat of sublimation of 2835 J/g snow. The integration time was 10 minutes which was averaged to 30 minute resolution
Plant traits during experimental drought and restoration in a coastal prairie in Santa Cruz, CA, USA in 2019
No full textThe average trait values of measured experimental field species of restored, unrestored, droughted and ambient rainfall from 2019. Values were determined by first averaging the value of two leaves from the same individual. Then values for 1-4 individuals of a given species in each plot were averaged to obtain a plot average, because analyses were done at the plot-level. Leaf area is the total area of a given leaf measured fresh with ImageJ, specific leaf area is the ratio of fresh leaf area to oven dried leaf mass, major vein length per unit area is the ratio of total primary and secondary leaf veins to fresh leaf area, and leaf lobedness is the lobedness of a leaf measured as the ratio of leaf perimeter squared to the product of leaf area and pi
A new helium isotope recored of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum from ODP Site 198-1209 (S3)
No full textThe Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; around 56 Ma ago) is arguably the most intensively studied event of rapid greenhouse warming of the geological past. The duration and age of the PETM, however, remains vividly debated, limiting our understanding of the response of the Earth System dynamics to rapid warming. Here we present new extraterrestrial helium 3 (3HeET) data across the PETM at ODP Site 198-1209 (N Pacific) that document a drop in 3HeET fluxes from 0.56 ± 0.02 pcm³/cm²/ka ~1 Ma prior to the PETM to values of 0.37 ± 0.02 pcm³/cm²/ka before and after the PETM. Our 3HeET-based chronology, optimized through spectral analysis and orbital tuning, indicates a duration of 160±10 ka for the PETM body/core, consistent with previous 3HeET estimates from ODP Site 208-1266 (Walvis Ridge). The PETM started at the onset of a 100 ka eccentricity maxima at 56080 ka BP and ended abruptly during a marked decline in eccentricity at 55883 ka, providing strong support for an orbital trigger of both its onset and termination. The reevaluation of the 3HeET age models of the high paleo-latitude ODP Site 113-690 shows that the prominent sedimentary and carbon isotope steps at this site were controlled by obliquity instead of precession. Our revised chronology suggests that obliquity was also the dominant driver of the repeated drops to lower δ13C values during the PETM in otherwise precession-dominated low latitude sites, possibly reflecting the repeated destabilization of methane hydrate or permafrost carbon stocks at high latitudes.
This dataset contains the grayscale reflectance logs obtained on core photographs for ODP Site 198-1209A, B and C, new records of helium isotope and non-carbonate fraction data for ODP Site 198-1209 and the reconstructed apparent 3HeET fluxes (FET), instantaneous sedimentation rates (ISR) and ages. We also report new bulk carbonate carbon and oxygen stable isotope data for ODP Site 198-1209 that are included in a compilation of published bulk carbonate data from the same site along with their corresponding 3HeET ages. We include a compilation of published benthic foraminifera carbon and oxygen stable isotope data for ODP Site 198-1209 with their corresponding 3HeET ages. We also report a compilation of Fe and Ca concentrations, stable isotope data measured on bulk sediment, planktonic and benthic foraminifera from ODP Site 113-690 that are reported against a revised 3HeET-based age model we developed for this site using published 3HeET data and a revised 3HeET flux of 0.42 ± 0.02 pcm³/cm²/ka and an age of 55916 ka BP for point F (169.05 mbsf)
