Oxygen incubations for whole seawater respiration rates during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC), 2019-2020

This dataset contains water column oxygen measurements from multi-day bottle incubations collected in the Central Arctic Ocean during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition – in which the RV (Research Vessel) Polarstern was tethered to sea ice, drifting across the Central Arctic Ocean from October 2019 to September 2020. Water was collected from various depths in the water column for whole seawater respiration rates via oxygen evolution incubations during legs 1, 3, 4, and 5 of the expedition. Incubations took place in a 1 ºC (celsius) cold room onboard Polarstern. Due to temperature stability and bubble formation issues, most measurements were compromised and data has been flagged accordingly during quality checks.
