Sky images recorded during the austral summer of 2016/17 as part of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>Scattered sunlight measurements can be strongly affected by clouds, mainly due to multiple scattering effects that give rise to large uncertainties in the light path retrieval. In order to estimate cloud cover, we recorded images of the sky every 5 minutes to evaluate a cloud index, from 0 (clear sky) to 10 (completely overcast).</p> <p>This dataset presents the sky images in PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format recorded on board the R/V Akademik Tryoshnikov during the austral summer of 2016/17 as part of the circumnavigation expedition (ACE). Data coverage is from December 2016 until April 2017.</p> <p>These images form a supporting dataset to optical spectroscopy data (Benavent et al., 2020; DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3827443).</p> <p>The ship’s position can be matched with these images using the corrected cruise track (Thomas and Pina Estany, 2019; DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3483166) or the GPS data provided with the spectroscopy data set (Benavent et al., 2020; DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3827443).</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>YYYY-MM-DD_hh.mm.ss.png, data file, portable network graphics</li> <li>README.txt, metadata, text</li> </ul> <p>where YYYY-MM-DD_hh.mm.ss is the date and time at which the file was saved in UTC.</p> <p><strong>Dataset license</strong></p> <p>This dataset of raw optical sky images from ACE is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) whose full text can be found at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</p>
Raw spectra measurements of scattered sunlight collected using a MAX-DOAS (Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) instrument in the austral summer of 2016/17 during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>To achieve the objectives of the project, we installed a MAX-DOAS (Multi-AXis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) instrument on the vessel “Akademik Tryoshnikov”. This instrument is based on the DOAS technique, which is used to measure trace gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The method consists of the analysis of the spectral absorption lines that each trace gas produces in the solar spectra. The DOAS technique uses the narrowband features that every trace gas has in their spectral absorption coefficients. This differential cross section is unique and acts like a fingerprint for the trace gases, allowing to differentiate between them and to estimate their concentrations (for further details see Platt and Stutz, 2008).</p> <p>In the past decades, atmospheric chemists have come to realize that halogen species (like Cl, Br or I and their oxides ClO, BrO and IO) exert a powerful influence on the chemical composition of the troposphere and through that influence affect the evolution of pollutants, hence having a significant impact on climate. These reactive halogen species are potent oxidizers for organic and inorganic compounds throughout the troposphere. In particular, halogen cycles can act on several compounds (such as methane, ozone, particles…), all of which are climate forcing agents through direct and indirect radiative effects. Dynamic exchange of halogens between the ocean, sea ice, snowpack and atmosphere is the main driver for the frequent occurrence of Ozone Depletion Events (ODEs) and Atmospheric Mercury Depletion Events (AMDEs) (Saiz-Lopez and von Glasow, 2012).</p> <p>In this dataset we present the raw spectra measurements of scattered sunlight recorded by the MAX-DOAS onboard a research vessel in the Southern Ocean and Atlantic Ocean.

Ionic composition of particulate matter (PM10) from high-volume sampling over the Southern Ocean during the austral summer of 2016/2017 on board the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>Aerosol particles originate from a variety of sources (Tomasi and Lupi, 2017). Information on particle chemical composition can be utilized to access particle origin. During the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) cruise around the Southern Ocean, off-line filter sampling of ambient air was performed. Filters were stored on the ship (at -20 degrees C) and after the cruise concluded analysed at Leibniz-Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) concerning ionic composition of sampled material. Here, we give mass concentrations for inorganic ions (chloride, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, ammonium, nitrate, sulphate, and bromide), organic constituents (methane-sulfonic acid and oxalate), and total filter load of particles with a mobility diameter smaller 10 micrometers (PM10) for each 24 hour-sampled filter.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>ACESPACE_particulate_matter_pm10_ionic_composition_highvolume.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>data_file_header.txt, metadata, text</li> <li>README.txt, metadata, text</li> </ul> <p><strong>Dataset license</strong></p> <p>This ionic composition of particulate matter (PM10) from high-volume sampling dataset during ACE is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) whose full text can be found at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</p>
200 kHz pre-processed echosounder data collected on the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition during the austral summer of 2016/2017.
<p><strong>Dataset abstract </strong></p> <p>These data consist of pre-processed echosounder observations in the Southern Ocean collected during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE; Leg2-Leg3) using an EK60 GPT operating at 200 kHz. The instrument was calibrated at South Georgia during the expedition (Leg 3) and corrections were applied prior to calculation of the volume backscattering strength (Sv). The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was analysed and was deemed very poor at depths greater than 100 m.

Ice Nucleating Particle number concentration from low-volume sampling over the Southern Ocean during the austral summer of 2016/2017 on board the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
<p><strong>Dataset abstract </strong></p> <p>Ice nucleating particles (INP) are a subclass of atmospheric aerosol particles, which can force heterogeneous freezing of cloud droplets at temperatures above -38 degrees C. In contrast, ice particles form from cloud droplets at temperatures below -38 degrees C due to homogeneous freezing, without INP. Due to their abundance, these particles can affect micro-physical properties of clouds, while acting as INP. During the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) around the Southern Ocean, off-line filter sampling was performed.

Cloud Condensation Nuclei number concentrations over the Southern Ocean during the austral summer of 2016/2017 on board the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) are a subclass of atmospheric aerosol particles, which can be activated to cloud droplets at a certain supersaturation, with respect to water. Due to their abundance, these particles can affect micro-physical properties of clouds, while acting as CCN. It was found that CCN are relevant for the Earth’s radiation budget, by affecting cloud albedo and lifetime. When giving a number concentration of CCN, also the supersaturation at which it was measured has to be given.</p> <p>With additional information on particle number size distribution, the hypothetical diameter of particle activation (critical diameter) was derived. Further, the particle hygroscopicity parameter (kappa) was calculated using the critical diameter. Values of kappa can be a proxy for bulk chemical composition of the sampled CCN population.</p> <p>Our dataset gives CCN number concentrations measured by a CCN counter (type CCN-100 by DMT, Boulder, US) operated at five different levels of supersaturation (0.15%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 1%) during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) cruise over the Southern Ocean, as part of the ACE-SPACE project.

Two-minute averaged net community production in seawater estimated along the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition during the austral summer of 2016/2017.
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>During the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) in the austral summer of 2016/2017, seawater O2/Ar ratios were measured underway from the ship's flow-through seawater system. High-resolution net community production (NCP) in units of mmol O2 m-2 day-1 was derived from delta O2/Ar and National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis winds followed by a linear correction for sea-ice.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>ace_ncp_linear_correction.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>data_file_header.txt, metadata, text</li> <li>README.txt, metadata, text</li> <li>change_log.txt, metadata, text</li> </ul> <p><strong>Change log</strong></p> <p>v1.1 - data reprocessed using different version of sea ice.</p> <ul> <li>data file reprocessed</li> <li>README updated to reflect change in processing</li> <li>change log added to dataset</li> </ul> <p>v1.0 - initial release of dataset</p>
Isoprene mixing ratio in ambient air across the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>This dataset contains the mixing ratios of isoprene (C5H8) in ambient air measured during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition around the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017 using the iDirac, an autonomous gas chromatograph (Bolas et al., 2020). Samples were collected at a temporal resolution of approximately 10 minutes, with sizeable gaps in the dataset during Legs 1 and 3 due to instrument malfunction.</p> <p>Isoprene represents one of the largest biogenic emissions on the planet. While the magnitude and mechanism of its emissions on land are well established, there is still large uncertainty on the drivers of marine isoprene emissions. This dataset, consisting of continuous measurements at a relatively high temporal resolution, represents a unique opportunity to better understand marine isoprene emissions in the Southern Ocean.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>ace_isoprene_mixing_ratio_ambient_air_v1.1.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>data_file_header.txt, metadata, text</li> <li>README.txt, metadata, text</li> <li>change_log.txt, metadata, text</li> </ul> <p><strong>Change log</strong></p> <p>v1.1 - data files updated</p> <ul> <li>more accurate isoprene quantification from improved chromatogram baseline removal</li> </ul> <p>v1.0 - initial release of dataset</p>
Concentration of gaseous iodic acid measured over the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
<p>Measurements of iodic acid concentration in the gas phase obtained with a nitrate chemical ionization mass spectrometer (we used an APi-TOF mass spectrometer produced by Tofwerk AG coupled with a Chemical ionization inlet A70 produced by Airmodus). Iodic acid is detected in the mass spectrometer either as a deprotonated ion or as a cluster with the reagent ion (NO3-). The concentration is calculated as the area of these two peaks normalized to the concentration of the reagent ions (monomer, dimer and trimer) and multiplied by a calibration factor equal to 6.9E9 molecules cm<sup>-3</sup> that was experimentally derived at Paul Scherrer Institute in the summer 2017, after the campaign.</p> <p>Iodic acid can participate in both new particle formation and growth, affecting the Earth radiative balance and cloud properties. Iodic acid is produced from the iodine radical but the exact formation pathways is still unknown.</p> <p>Measurements were performed on the upper deck of the icebreaker Akademik Tryoshnikov along the track of the Antarctic Circumnavigation expedition. Temporal coverage is from January 22, 2017 to March 19, 2017. There are no data for the first leg of the expedition because the instrument was not on the ship. The instrument was operated during leg 4 but data has not been processed yet. Data were collected with one-second time resolution but integrated to five minutes to increase the signal to noise ratio. Concentrations are reported as molecules per cubic centimeter in five minutes averages. The lower limit of detection was estimated to be lower than 6E3 molecules cm<sup>-3</sup>. Data below the detection limit were replaced by the detection limit divided by the square root of 2.</p> <p>Pollution from the ship exhaust and other human activities (e.g. helicopter flights) was identified as described in Schmale et al. 2019 (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-18-0187.1">https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-18-0187.1</a>) and a corresponding flag was associated to the data (with 1 meaning clean data and 2 polluted data). No direct influence of pollution on the iodic acid concentration was found.</p> <p>***** Dataset contents *****</p> <p>- 01_gas_iodic_acid_concentration_data.csv, data file, comma-separated values</p> <p>- 02_IodicAcid_file_header.txt, metadata, text format</p> <p>- 03_README.txt, metadata, text format</p> <p> </p>
Size distribution of neutral and charged particles smaller than 42 nm measured over the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
<p>The size distribution of neutral and charged particles was measured using a neutral cluster and air ion spectrometer (NAIS) instrument. The concentration was corrected for diffusional losses in the inlet.</p> <p>The concentration and temporal dynamics of small particles is fundamental to characterize the first step of new particle formation (NPF) and growth. Moreover, naturally charged particles and ions can provide information about the role of ion induced nucleation. Newly formed particles can grow to larger sizes where they act as cloud condensation nuclei, directly affecting the Earth radiative budget and cloud properties.</p> <p>Measurements were performed on the upper deck of icebreaker Akademik Tryoshnikov along the track of the Antarctic Circumnavigation expedition. Temporal coverage is from January 22, 2017 to April 11, 2017. The concentration is reported as dN/dlog(Dp) per cubic centimetre, where Dp indicates the corresponding diameter size bin. Data were collected with one-second time resolution and averaged automatically by the acquisition software to 120 seconds before January 31 2017 and to 90 seconds after that date. The instrument was calibrated before the campaign by the manufacturer and periodically cleaned during the campaign (one time per leg).</p> <p>Pollution from the ship exhaust and other human activities (e.g. helicopter flights) was identified as described in Schmale et al., 2019 (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-18-0187.1">https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-18-0187.1</a>) and a corresponding flag was associated to the data (with 1 meaning clean data and 0 polluted data).</p> <p> </p> <p>***** Dataset contents *****</p> <p>- 01_neutral_particles_size_distribution.csv, data file, comma-separated values</p> <p>- 02_negative_ions_size_distribution.csv, data file, comma-separated values</p> <p>- 03_positive_ions_size_distribution.csv, data file, comma-separated values</p> <p>- 04_neutral_particles_size_distribution_header.txt, metadata, text</p> <p>- 05_negative_ions_size_distribution_header.txt, metadata, text</p> <p>- 06_positive_ions_size_distribution_header.txt, metadata, text</p> <p>- README.txt, metadata, text</p> <p>Data that were missing or bad because of instrumental problems were simply removed from the file (no entry).</p>
