Biogeochemical data of sinking particulate matter collected by sediment trap mooring 10-01 (2017-2018) in the South Indian Ocean@en

The Universität Hamburg is part of the environmental studies in the INDEX (Indian Ocean Exploration) program, which was established by the BGR (Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources), Hanover. The INDEX license area is located in the oligotrophic subtropical gyre of the South Indian Ocean. Sinking particulate matter samples were collected by sediment trap mooring 10-01 to measure vertical particle flux quantitatively and qualitatively. Mooring 10-01 was deployed during cruise SO259 (RV Sonne) and recovered during cruise PE446 (RV Pelagia).汉堡大学（Universität Hamburg）参与了由位于汉诺威的德国联邦地球科学与自然资源研究所（BGR, Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources）发起的印度洋勘探（Indian Ocean Exploration, INDEX）计划的环境研究工作。该计划的INDEX许可海域位于南印度洋的贫营养亚热带环流区。科研人员借助沉积物捕获器锚系10-01（sediment trap mooring 10-01）采集沉降颗粒物样品，以定量、定性测定垂直颗粒通量。锚系10-01由SO259航次（“松涅”号科考船（RV Sonne））布放，并于PE446航次（“佩拉吉亚”号科考船（RV Pelagia））回收。
