Dataset - Iceflux trawl (SUIT & RMT) and ice stations
Summary
This data file contains information on all locations in the Arctic and Southern Oceans that were sampled with the Surface And Under Ice Trawl (SUIT) and the Rectangular Midwater Trawl (RMT), and samples taken at ice stations within the Iceflux projects of the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI, Bremerhaven) and Wageningen Marine Research (Den Helder). With the trawls, zooplankton and nekton samples were collected. At ice stations, ice-cores and water samples were collected, and L-arm measurements of under-ice irradiance/radiance were performed.
Purpose
This data provides information on sampling dates and locations.
