BIOGEOCHEMICAL dataset collected during the SWINGS cruise

swings (https://swings.geotraces.org/en/homepage-english/) is a multidisciplinary 4-year project fully dedicated to elucidate trace element sources, transformations and sinks along a section crossing key areas of the southern ocean (so). swings aims at 1) establishing the relative importance of sedimentary, atmospheric and hydrothermal sources of trace elements and isotopes (teis) in the indian sector of the so, 2) investigating the drivers of the internal trace element cycles: biogenic uptake, remineralization, particle fate, and export, and 3) quantifying tei transport by the antarctic circumpolar current and the complex frontal areas at the confluence between indian and atlantic oceans.

Swings（https://swings.geotraces.org/en/homepage-english/）是一项为期四年的多学科研究项目，旨在阐明南大洋（SO）关键区域穿越段中微量元素的来源、转化和汇流。Swings项目旨在：1）确立沉积物、大气和热水在SO印度洋区域微量元素和同位素（TEIs）来源中的相对重要性，2）探究内部微量元素循环的驱动因素：生物吸收、再矿化、颗粒命运和输出，以及3）量化TEIs通过南极环流以及印度洋和大西洋交汇处的复杂锋面区域进行传输。
