Cruise Report, RV ATAIR, Cruise 067I033-1, Bremerhaven – Thybor?n – Aberdeen, 23 Jul – 15 Aug 2024 51
8. Data Availability & 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), which is hosted by the International Council for the
Explorations 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
particular, chlorophyll-a data contributes to the EOMAP effort (https://eomap.com), while phy-
toplankton 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:
21038345; https://csr.seadatanet.org/report/21038345. See also: https://www2.bsh.de/ak-

BSH data related to cruise 067I033-1 is genereally stored in various long-term storage data-
bases (DOD database, DSHIP land system and others) of the German Oceanographic Data
Service hosted at BSH (DOD, email: dod@bsh.de), DOD reference number: 20240052,

Finally processed CTD data has been submitted to DOD and is available on the MUDAB data
portal (https://geoportal.bafg.de/MUDABAnwendung/), the mandatory data portal for German
governmental agencies. Therein, data of cruise 067I033-1 contributes 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
