Dataset for: Formation of rapidly sinking, oil associated marine snow

Roller table experiments, which were conducted between 2011 and 2013, investigated conditions resulting in the formation of different types of oil-associated marine snow. Six marine snow formation experiments with 9-10 treatments each tested the formation of marine snow in the presence or absence of different oils, Corexit, phytoplankton under different conditions. Marine oil snow formation was monitored for 66 days in cases where no marine oil snow formed.
