Abstract:
This dataset contains total mass flux of settling particles, the bulk component, stable isotopes (delta13C, delta15N), and diatom assemblages of settling particles, and some daily hydrographic and sea ice conditions at Stations NAP10t-13t (74.5 to 75N, 161.9 to 162W) and CAP12t (75.2N 172.5W) in the western Arctic Ocean from October 2010 to September 2014 (Oct. 2012-Sep. 2013 for CAP12t). The analytical items of bulk component is particulate organic carbon, particulate inorganic carbon, particulate nitrogen, and biogenic opal. The component data for NAP10t includes additional results of elementary analysis on alminium, silicon, calcium, titanium, manganese, iron, magnesium and potassium. Water temerature and salinity were monitored at NAP13t and CAP12t. Current, turbidity, backscatterd acoustic strength, and ice thickness were observed at NAP13t. Reanalysed data on short wave radiation and sea ice concentration were also tabulated for the deployment perios of each sediemnt trap mooring.
