Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP) from CTD samples collected during R/V Hugh R. Sharp cruise HRS2204 from Apr to May 2022

These data include measurements of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) from CTD bottle water samples collected during a cruise on the Northeast Continental Shelf to study particle disaggregation. One cruise was completed aboard the R/V Hugh R. Sharp from 2022-04-21 through 2022-05-02 (HRS22-04), which visited a variety of stations and hydrodynamic environments associated with the Northeast Continental Shelf of the United States. Stations ranged from Georges Bank and the Great South Channel near the Gulf of Maine, Martha's Vineyard, the mouth of the Sakonnet River near Newport, Rhode Island, and Hudson Canyon near New York. TEP measurements were performed following recently published methods relying on Alcian Blue staining protocols and spectrophotometry. These data were collected as part of a study to clarify the importance of hydrodynamic forces on the cohesion, aggregation, and breakup of marine particles. These data were collected by Dr. Kieran Curran of the University of New Hampshire on the cruise led by Dr. Matthew Rau (chief-sci) of the George Washington University.

本数据集包含东北大陆架科考航次采集的CTD采水水样的透明胞外聚合物颗粒（Transparent Exopolymer Particles, TEP）检测数据，该航次旨在研究颗粒解聚过程。本次航次由"Hugh R. Sharp"号科考船（R/V Hugh R. Sharp）于2022年4月21日至2022年5月2日执行，航次编号为HRS22-04，作业区域覆盖美国东北大陆架周边多种站位与水动力环境。站位涵盖缅因湾附近的乔治浅滩与大南水道、玛莎葡萄园岛、罗德岛州纽波特附近的萨科内特河河口，以及纽约附近的哈德逊峡谷区域。TEP检测采用近期发表的基于阿尔辛蓝（Alcian Blue）染色方案与分光光度法的实验流程完成。本数据集为一项研究的组成部分，该研究旨在阐明水动力作用力对海洋颗粒的黏合、聚集与破碎过程的重要性。本数据集由新罕布什尔大学基兰·卡兰博士（Dr. Kieran Curran）在乔治华盛顿大学马修·劳博士（Dr. Matthew Rau，首席科学家）牵头的航次中采集完成。
