BB.
Data Availability and Sample Storage
Further data analysis and interpretation will be carried out together with national and interna-
tional collaborators in the framework of e.g. BSH’s contribution to the international Working
Group on Oceanic Hydrography (WGOH) hosted by the /nternational Council for the Explora-
fions of the Seas (ICES). Data from this cruise will be used for respective assessment reports
and reporting in the framework of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) of the
European Union. The data also serve for validating numerical operational ocean and climate
models, for the calibration of satellite-based ocean colour data, hyper-spectral satellite data
and downstream products (e.g. Secchi depth, turbidity, fluorescence, chlorophyll-a). In partic-
ular, chlorophyll-a data contributes to the EOMAP effort (https://eomap.com).
A cruise summary report (C$SR) is available on the SeaDataNet portal, CSR reference number:
21032467; https:/csr.seadatanet.org/report/21032467. See also: https://www2.bsh.de/ak-
tdat/dod/fahrtergebnis/2022/20220144.htm
Data related to cruise 067/013-1 is genereally stored at the German Oceanographic Data Ser-
vice hosted at BSH (DOD, email: dod@bsh.de), DOD reference number: 20220144,

Near-realtime CTD data has been submitted and is available for download on the BSH data
portal:
Temperature: https://gdi.bsh.de/en/feed/temperature-of-sea-water-2022.xml
Salinity: https://gdi.bsh.de/en/feed/salinity-of-sea-water-2022.xml
Dissolved oxygen: https://gdi.bsh.de/en/feed/dissolved-oxygen-in-sea-water-2022.xml
Fluorescence (chlorophyll): https://gdi.bsh.de/en/feed/chlorophyll-a-in-sea-water-2022.xml
Turbidity: https://gdi.bsh.de/en/feed/turbidity-in-sea-water-2022.xml
Finally processed CTD data has been submitted to DOD and is available at the MUDAB data
portal (https://geoportal.bafg.de/MVU DABAnwendung/), the mandatory data portal for German
governmental agencies. Therein, data of cruise 067/073-1 contribute to the “Bund-Länder
Monitoring-Programm” (BLMP/BLMP+). Respective data will be provided via MUDAB to the
ICES data portal (https://www.ices.dk/). Also, chlorophyll-a concentrations measured in the
home laboratory and Secchi depths are available via the MUDAB database and will be pushed
forward to ICES. The following ICES divisions were sampled: Illa, Va, IVb, IVc and Vila. The
respective ICES ecoregion is the Greater North Sea.
VMADCP data is kept on long-time archives of the BSH’s oceanography group as the estab-
lishment of an official data storage work flow is in the making through collaboration with the
German Marine Research Alliance (DAM). Data can be obtained on request from:
M22_obs@bsh.de
Data regarding radionuclides has been submitted to the /ntegrated Monitoring and Information
System for Monitoring Radioactivity in the Environment (IMIS), also see BMUV (2024).
