Summary

Researchers conducted a North Sea summer survey aboard the RV ATAIR in 2024, investigating the physical and chemical state of the sea across a standard station network to observe major inflow and outflow patterns, with microplastic sampling among the measurements.

The scientific cruise 067I033-1 with the Research Vessel (RV) ATAIR aimed to investigate the physical and chemical state of the North Sea in summer 2024. The focus was on surveying a large-scale network of standard station locations at specific latitudes in order to observe the major inflow and outflow conditions into and out of the North Sea. The overall aim was to obtain suitable physical oceanographic data that serves to further extend already existing time series on the hydrographic properties of the North Sea’s water column. Biological data obtained on selected stations with respect to chlorophyll-a and phytoplankton will be used to validate and compare satellite data. Chemical measurements address the carbon system of the North Sea and also serve to assess the concentrations of certain trace metals including mercury and its species as well as microplastic concentrations.
