Aerosol Trace Elements from the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition in the Central Arctic Ocean 2019-2020

The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition was an international initiative in which research vessel (R/V) Polarstern drifted with the sea ice in the Central Arctic Ocean from October 2019 to September 2020. Here, we present data from a study in which aerosols were collected on filters using a high-volume sampler aboard Polarstern. Samples were digested with acids and analyzed by inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. This dataset includes concentration data for total aerosol nickel, zinc, copper, vanadium, chromium, iron, cobalt, molybdenum, cadmium, lead, titanium, aluminum, and manganese from 25 of 26 aerosol collections.
