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), while phyto-
plankton sampling contributes to the ENSAD project, which is part of the Environmental Map-
ping and Analysis Program (ENMAP, https://www.enmap. org).
A cruise summary report (CSR) is available on the SeaDataNet portal, CSR reference number:
21032482; https://csr.seadatanet.org/report/21032482. See also: https://www2.bsh.de/ak-

Data related to cruise 067/021-1 is genereally stored at the German Oceanographic Data Ser-
vice hosted at BSH (DOD, email: dod@bsh.de), DOD reference number: 20230087.

Finally processed CTD data has been submitted to DOD and is available at the MUDAB data
portal (https://geoportal.bafg.de/MVUDABAnwendung/), the mandatory data portal for German
governmental agencies. Therein, data of cruise 067/021-1 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, data regarding chlorophyll-a concentrations
measured in the home laboratory, Secchi depths and oxygen are available via the MUDAB
database and will be pushed forward to ICES. The following ICES divisions were sampled: Illa,
Va, IVb, IVc and Vla. The respective ICES ecoreaion is the Greater North Sea.
