Biogeochemical data of sinking particulate matter collected by sediment trap mooring 05-01 (2014-2015) in the South Indian Ocean

The Universität Hamburg is part of the environmental studies in the INDEX (Indian Ocean Exploration) program, which was established by the BGR (Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources), Hanover. The INDEX license area is located in the oligotrophic subtropical gyre of the South Indian Ocean. Sinking particulate matter samples were collected by sediment trap mooring 05-01 to measure vertical particle flux quantitatively and qualitatively. Mooring 05-01 was deployed during cruise PE394 (RV Pelagia) and recovered during cruise PE405.

汉堡大学参与了由汉诺威联邦地球科学和自然资源研究所（BGR，Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources）设立的印度洋勘探计划（Indian Ocean Exploration，INDEX）的环境研究工作。该计划的许可海域位于南印度洋的贫营养亚热带环流区。研究人员通过沉积物捕获器锚系（sediment trap mooring）05-01采集了沉降颗粒物样品，以对垂直粒子通量进行定量与定性测定。沉积物捕获器锚系05-01于PE394航次（RV Pelagia）布放，并在PE405航次期间完成回收。
