anonymous 16352 Biogeochemical particle flux results of drifting sediment trap systems from the northern and southern Benguela Upwelling System between 2019 and 2021 Meiritz, Luisa Chiara; Rixen, Tim; van der Plas, Anja K; Lamont, Tarron; Lahajnar, Niko (2024): Biogeochemical particle flux results of drifting sediment trap systems from the northern and southern Benguela Upwelling System between 2019 and 2021 [dataset]. PANGAEA, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.968894 The particle flux studies were carried out by the Biogeochemistry working group at the Universität Hamburg as part of the GENUS and TRAFFIC research projects. 16 free-drifting sediment trap systems (drifters, Single Sediment Trap from Saarso/Hydrobios) were deployed during research cruises Meteor 153, Sonne 283 and Sonne 285 between 2019 and 2021. The samples were described macroscopically and microscopically and separated into size classes <1 and >1 mm and then their dry weight was determined. The main components: total carbon (Ctot), total nitrogen (Ntot) and organic carbon (Corg) were then measured using an elemental analyzer (EuroVector Euro EA 3000). Only particles <1 mm are considered as passive flux. All other sample categories are referred to as active flux. 16360 https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.968894 2024-12-02T11:24:01+0000 2024 21432 19812 21433 21434 21435 21436 21437 21438 21439 21440 14104 21441 21442 20731 21443 21444 21445 21446 21447 21448 21449 21450 21451 21452 21453 21454 21456 21457 21458 21459 21460 17458
