Surface transect data of trace gases, biomass and phytoplankton group composition during RV POLARSTERN cruise PS92@en

This data set includes the concentration of surface water volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide, biomass concentrations and temperature from the ferry box system of RV POLARSTERN on the cruise track from Bremerhaven to the ice covered region north of Svalbard during RV POLARSTERN cruise PS92. Temperature and salinity were used to classify the sampled water masses based on the criteria applied in Tran et al., 2013.
