Seawater stable isotope sample measurements from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE)
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>This data set contains oxygen and hydrogen isotope measurements from discrete seawater samples that were collected in the Southern Ocean (south of 30 deg S) during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). 637 samples were collected during the period December 24th, 2016 and March 18th, 2017 in the Southern Ocean from the surface ocean using the ship's underway line (UW; 338 samples) and in vertical profiles using Niskin bottles mounted on the CTD rosette (287 samples). A few additional samples were collected from a parallel cast with a trace-metal rosette, with a bucket, and from the surface of a tabular iceberg. All samples were analyzed for their oxygen isotopic composition (reported as permille deviation of the oxygen-18 to oxygen-16 ratio from VSMOW2: DEL18O) and a few samples (80) from the Pacific sector were analyzed for their hydrogen isotopic composition (reported as permille deviation of the hydrogen to deuterium ratio from VSMOW2: DELD) by mass spectrometry at the British Geological Survey. This circumpolar data set provides insights into the hydrological cycle of the Southern Ocean and the processes (precipitation, evaporation, sea-ice melting and freezing, iceberg and land-ice melting) that determine the salinity of a certain water mass.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>ace_18_data_d18o_dd_ctd_20190219.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>ace_18_data_d18o_dd_other_20190219.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>ace_18_data_d18o_dd_uw_20190219.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>README.md, metadata, markdown</li> </ul>
Sub-micron aerosol particle size distribution collected in the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>The authors would highly appreciate to be contacted if the data is used for any purpose.</p> <p>We measured sub-micrometer aerosol particles with two scanning mobility particle spectrometers (SMPSs) between 11 and 400 nm (file name ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution.csv) in 100 bins, and 11 and 181 nm in 77 bins - so no data entry in the remaining 23 bins - (ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution_nano.csv) at a time resolution of five minutes during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). Particles in this size range are important for cloud formation because a sub-set of them can act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).</p> <p>The time series of the size distribution shows that the particle population over the Southern Ocean can be quite variable featuring three dominant modes: a new particle formation mode (11 – 30 nm); an Aitken mode (20 – 70 nm); and an accumulation mode (> 70 nm). Often a concentration minimum between the Aitken and accumulation mode can be observed. It is known as Hoppel minimum (Hoppel and Frick, 1990; 10.1016/0960-1686(90)90020-N). Typically, particles larger than this minimum act as CCN. The variability of the particle size spectrum is a result of particle sources and atmospheric processes. Sea spray generation adds larger particles likely with a peak in the mode around 200 nm. Trace gas emissions from microbial communities in the ocean, such as dimethylsulfide (DMS) will be oxidized to either sulphuric acid or methanesulfonic acid in the atmosphere which condense onto pre-existing particles, hence growing those. Sulphuric acid can also form new particles (new particle formation mode). Rain and snow will remove particles larger than the Hoppel minimum.</p> <p>The data set can be used to explore the variability of the particle size distribution in three different oceans around Antarctica (Indian, Pacific, Atlantic Oceans) and from Cape Town to Europe in relation to weather patterns, air mass trajectories, microbial activity etc. It is best used in combination with CCN data to explore the importance of particles for cloud formation. This data set cannot be used to unambiguously determine sources of particles over the southern ocean or to trace anthropogenic impact in the region.</p> <p>The data have been cleaned from the influence of the exhaust of the research vessel.</p> <p>We give five-minute average data as dN/dlog(dp), where dN is the particle number concentration per measured size bin normalized over the logarithm of the bin width. The bin width is defined as the distance between two diameters. They are spaced equally in log-space with dlog(dp) = log(d_n+1/d_n) = 1/64. To derive the total particle number concentration between 11 and 400 nm one has to integrate over the diameter range taking into account the normalization by dlog(dp).</p> <p>Temporal coverage is from December 20, 2016 to April 10, 2017. The file “ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution.csv” covers the entire time period except between 9 and 14 January 2017 due to instrument issues. The file “ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution_nano.csv” contains data for the period between 9 and 14 January 2017 and can be used to fill the above gap. The second data file stems from another SMPS with a smaller differential mobility analyser, hence the smaller diameter coverage.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <p>The data set contains two files with the size distribution of sub-micrometer aerosol particles. The rows are indexed by the time stamp, which is the end of the 5-minutes averaging interval. The columns are the normalized concentrations of particles in the respective size bin.

Equivalent black carbon aerosol measured over the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>The authors would highly appreciate to be contacted if the data is used for any purpose.</p> <p>We measured equivalent black carbon (eBC) with an aethalometer (model AE33, Magee Scientific) at a time resolution of one second during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). We report five-minute averaged data, cleaned from exhaust gas influence. Temporal coverage is from December 20, 2016 to April 10, 2017.</p> <p>The mass concentration of eBC, reported in ng m<sup>-3</sup>, reflects how far fossil fuel combustion or biomass burning contribute to the aerosol population over the Southern Ocean and between South Africa and Europe. Over the Southern Ocean there are no sources of eBC, except for ship emissions and (sub-)Antarctic station emissions, and hence an enhancement of eBC points towards long-range influence from Africa, Australia, New Zealand and South America. When plotted against latitude, eBC concentrations drop south of 60°S, indicating a more pristine environment. Elevated concentration around the equator are likely influenced by biomass burning in tropical Africa.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>ACESPACE_equivalent_black_carbon_aerosol.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>data_file_header.txt, metadata, text</li> <li>README.md, metadata, text</li> </ul> <p>The data file listed above contains five-minute averaged values of equivalent black carbon (eBC) measured during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition. Timestamps are the end of the five-minute period over which the eBC values were averaged. Latitude and longitude are average values of the position of the measurement during the five-minute interval.</p> <p>NaN values of eBC denote missing values because of e.g., ship exhaust contamination, maintenance, instrument failure or signal noise levels exceeding 200 ng/m<sup>3</sup>.

Coarse mode aerosol particle size distribution collected in the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>The authors would highly appreciate to be contacted if the data is used for any purpose.</p> <p>We measured coarse mode aerosol particle size distributions with an aerodynamic particle sizer (APS, model TSI 3321) at a time resolution of five minutes during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). The diameter range is 0.7 to 19 µm. Particles in this size range are indicative of primary sea spray aerosol, biological particles and potentially long-range transported mineral dust. These particles are also important for cloud formation as they act as cloud condensation nuclei or ice nucleating particles, the latter especially in the case of biological particles and mineral dust.</p> <p>Typically the instrument reports data starting from particles with a diameter greater than 500 nm, however, particle number concentrations in the channels below 723 nm were overestimated, which is a common artefact with this instrument.</p> <p>The data have been cleaned from the influence of the exhaust of the research vessel. Temporal coverage is from December 20, 2016 to April 10, 2017. We give five-minute averaged data as dN/dlog(dp), where dN is the particle number concentration per measured size bin normalized over the logarithm of the bin width. The bin width is defined as the distance between two diameters. They are spaced equally in log-space with dlog(dp) = log(d_n+1/d_n) = 1/32.

Quality-checked, one-hour resolution cruise track of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) undertaken during the austral summer of 2016/2017.
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>The Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE), undertaken in the austral summer of 2016/2017 recorded the cruise track using two independent geo-location instruments: one using GLobal NAvigation Satellite Systems (GLONASS; hereafter referred to as GLONASS) and another primarily using the Global Positioning System (GPS; hereafter referred to as the Trimble GPS). Daily log files were recorded in real-time from both instruments during the expedition and added to MySQL database tables. Following the expedition, quality-checking work has been undertaken to provide a one-second resolution set of positions for the cruise track. Here we present the final quality-checked dataset aggregated to a resolution of one hour. This is of use for understanding the position of the vessel to a lower precision, such as for plotting the track throughout the voyage.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>ace_cruise_track_1hour_YYYY-MM.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>README.txt, metadata, text file</li> <li>data_file_header.txt, metadata, text file</li> </ul> <p><strong>Dataset license</strong></p> <p>This quality-checked cruise track dataset 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>
Non-refractory particulate sulfate and chloride data from a time of flight aerosol chemical speciation monitor around the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/17, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>The Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) campaign was conducted between 20th December 2016 and 19th March 2017. The time of flight aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ToF-ACSM, Aerodyne Research Inc.) was deployed. It is capable of providing 10-minute resolution chemical compositions of NR-PM1 (non-refractory particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter smaller than 1 µm), including sulphate, nitrate, ammonium and organics. Chloride is refractory and can only be measured qualitatively, that is relative changes in intensity are trustworthy while absolute concentrations are a clear underestimation, because most of the chloride is in refractory form as part of sea salt in the marine environment. Since this ACSM dataset was collected on the ship, the ship exhaust will occasionally interfere with the natural signal. Therefore data gaps exist. The overall concentrations of particulate organics, nitrate and ammonium remained low, mostly below detection limit, except during the polluted periods. Thus, we do not report these three components. Only sulphate can be retrieved as a quantitative variable from this dataset.</p> <p>This dataset provides limited information on the chemical composition of sub-micron non-refractory aerosol in the Southern Ocean and gives hints on potential sources. Chloride clearly reflects the contribution of sea salt to the aerosol population. This can be checked by relating the particulate chloride to wind speed (Landwehr et al., 2019; 10.5281/zenodo.3379590) and particles with large diameters (Schmale et al., 2019; 10.5281/zenodo.2636709). Particulate sulphate may originate from a variety of sources: sea salt (minor contribution), anthropogenic emissions and natural marine emissions of dimethylsulfide, which is converted to SO2 and sulphuric acid in the atmosphere and can subsequently partition into the particle phase via gas-phase or aqueous phase reactions (Schmale et al., 2019).</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>raw_chl_SO4_mz_55_57_manual_with_flags.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>README.txt, metadata, text</li> <li>data_file_header.txt, metadata, text</li> <li>calibration_info.csv, metadata, comma-separated values</li> </ul>
Water temperature in the hidden, subglacial lake at Uruguay Island, Antarctic Peninsula region, 2020-2021, and additional data sets.
The dataset contains temperature measurements in a small subglicer (hidden) lake of Antarctic Peninsula region at several levels of depth. The measurements cover almost a full year and provide an understanding of the temperature and hydrological regime of the water body. Weather measurement data and statistics is provided additionally.
Soil biogeochemical measurements from the Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 131 (ASPA 131), McMurdo Dry Valleys Antarctica, December 2022
These data include soil biological properties (16S ASV community sequences, invertebrate community counts, ash-free dry mass, pigment concentrations), physical properties (location, gravimetric soil moisture, pH, electrical conductivity, remote detection of soil moisture change), chemical properties (dissolved inorganic nitrogen, extractable sulfate ions, extractable Cl ions) from soils collected within the Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 131 (ASPA-131) surrounding Canada Stream in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica. Collection sites were associated with a warming event that occurred on March 22, 2022, and include the following remotely-sensed categories: V - validation sites representing arid soils with little soil moisture and minimal detectable change in liquid water, S - significant sites that had a significant increase in liquid water, and N - nonsignificant sites that had detectable moisture but did not experience a significant increase in liquid water. These data aid in our understanding of how landscape heterogeneity and hydroclimate variability influence soil biota communities sensitive to changes in liquid water availability in a polar desert.
Seasonal sea ice indices including the timing of ice-edge advance and ice-edge retreat (in year day), the ice season duration (in days) and number of actual ice days (versus open water days) within the ice season, extracted for various PAL LTER sub-regions West of the Antarctic Peninsula and derived from passive microwave satellite data for 1979/80 to 2023/24 ice seasons.
Seasonal sea ice indices including the timing of ice-edge advance and ice-edge retreat (in year day), the ice season duration (in days) and number of actual ice days (versus open water days) within the ice season, extracted for various PAL LTER sub-regions West of the Antarctic Peninsula and derived from passive microwave satellite data for 1979/80 to 2023/24 ice seasons. The ice season duration is defined as the time elapsed between day of ice-edge advance and day of ice-edge retreat within a given sea ice year, which begins mid-February (mean minimum of summer sea ice extent for the Southern Ocean) and ends the following mid-February. See Stammerjohn et al (2008, JGR) for further details.
Zooplankton collected with a 2-m, 700-um net towed from surface to 120 m, aboard Palmer Station Antarctica LTER annual cruises off the western Antarctic peninsula, 2009 - 2024.
Zooplankton are a morphologically and taxonomically diverse group of animals. Many zooplankton feed on phytoplankton and thus provide a link between primary producers and higher trophic levels. Zooplankton density and biovolume were determined at grid stations on the annual LTER cruises along the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). Annual cruises take place between late December to early February, except for the NBP21-13 cruise, which was November and December. Typically, zooplankton were collected with a 2x2 meter, 700um mesh net fitted with a flow meter and towed obliquely to 120m. Zooplankton distributions vary spatially due to water column characteristics, which affect their predators' distributions. As climate change continues to affect the WAP, the relative abundance of the various zooplankton components can also be expected to change.
Standard body length of Euphausia superba collected with a 2-m, 700-um net towed from surface to 120 m, collected aboard Palmer LTER annual cruises off the coast of the Western Antarctic Peninsula, 2009 - 2024.
Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, are a critical food-web link between phytoplankton primary production and higher trophic levels, such as whales, penguins, and seals. Krill standard length was measured from LTER zooplankton tows along the western Antarctic Peninsula. Annual cruises take place between late December to early February, except for the NBP21-13 cruise, which was November and December. Length data provides estimates of age-class abundance and recruitment. Climate-induced changes in krill recruitment are an important consideration in the management and modelling of krill populations.
Length of Salpa thompsoni collected with a 2-m, 700-um net towed from surface to 120 m, collected aboard Palmer LTER annual cruises off the coast of the Western Antarctic Peninsula, 2009 - 2024.
Salps (Salpa thompsoni) are conspicuous gelatinous zooplankton capable of rapid population increases, enabling them to respond quickly to unpredictable phytoplankton blooms common in the Antarctic. Body length was measured on salps collected from LTER zooplankton tows along the western Antarctic Peninsula. Annual cruises take place between late December to early February, except for the NBP21-13 cruise, which was November and December. Salps have amongst the highest filtration rates of all zooplankton, and package their waste into large, fast sinking fecal pellets. These pellets provide a mechanism to export carbon fixed in the surface waters into the deep ocean. Since filtration rates and pellet size are positively related to the size of a salp, population estimates of grazing and exported carbon can be determined through length data.
Zooplankton collected with a 1.4-m2 frame, 500-μm mesh Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) aboard Palmer LTER annual cruises off the coast of the Western Antarctic Peninsula, 2009-2017
Zooplankton are a morphologically and taxonomically diverse group of animals. Many zooplankton feed on phytoplankton in surface waters and thus provide a link between primary producers and higher trophic levels. Other zooplankton reside in the mesopelagic zone and feed on detritus or on other animals. Depth-discrete density of zooplankton taxa was determined at process study stations on the annual Palmer LTER cruises along the western Antarctic Peninsula. Samples were collected with a 1.4-m2 frame, 500-μm mesh Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) towed obliquely to the surface from a depth of typically 500 m. MOCNESS tows were conducted in consecutive day-night pairs at each process study station. Zooplankton depth distributions vary between day and night as these animals conduct diel vertical migrations. Depth distributions also vary among zooplankton taxa based on species feeding ecology and life history traits. Zooplankton diel vertical migration contributes to the export of carbon and nutrients from the surface ocean to the mesopelagic zone.

Raw stable water isotope measurements in water vapour at 8 m a.s.l. on the port side of the ship, made in the austral summer of 2016/2017 during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>This dataset includes the raw data of stable water vapour isotope (δ18O, δ2H, deuterium excess) and water vapour mixing ratio measurements at a height of approximately 8 meters above sea level taken in the Southern Ocean during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) from November 2016 to April 2017 using a Picarro laser spectrometer L2120 mounted on the port side of the ship.

They differ by the location of measurement on the ship: 8 m a.s.l on the port side (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3739354) and 13.5 m a.s.l (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3250790).</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>ACE_watervapour_isotopes_SWI8-sb_1h.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>ACE_watervapour_isotopes_SWI8-sb_5min.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>cal_runs_SWI8-sb.csv, metadata, comma-separated values</li> <li>cal_flag_times_SWI8-sb.csv, metadata, comma-separated values</li> <li>data_file_header.txt, metadata, text format</li> <li>README.txt, metadata, text format</li> </ul> <p>NaN values denote missing values which occur because of e.g., maintenance, instrument calibration, large cavity variations.</p> <p><strong>Dataset license</strong></p> <p>This calibrated stable water isotope measurements in water vapour 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>
