Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP) from CTD samples collected during R/V Hugh R. Sharp cruise HRS2204 from Apr to May 2022

These data include measurements of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) from CTD bottle water samples collected during a cruise on the Northeast Continental Shelf to study particle disaggregation. One cruise was completed aboard the R/V Hugh R. Sharp from 2022-04-21 through 2022-05-02 (HRS22-04), which visited a variety of stations and hydrodynamic environments associated with the Northeast Continental Shelf of the United States. Stations ranged from Georges Bank and the Great South Channel near the Gulf of Maine, Martha's Vineyard, the mouth of the Sakonnet River near Newport, Rhode Island, and Hudson Canyon near New York. TEP measurements were performed following recently published methods relying on Alcian Blue staining protocols and spectrophotometry. These data were collected as part of a study to clarify the importance of hydrodynamic forces on the cohesion, aggregation, and breakup of marine particles. These data were collected by Dr. Kieran Curran of the University of New Hampshire on the cruise led by Dr. Matthew Rau (chief-sci) of the George Washington University.本数据集包含从东北大陆架海域航次采集的CTD采水器水样中获取的透明胞外聚合物颗粒（transparent exopolymer particles, TEP）检测数据，该航次旨在研究海洋颗粒解聚过程。本次航次由“休·R·夏普号”研究船（R/V Hugh R. Sharp）于2022年4月21日至2022年5月2日执行，航次编号为HRS22-04，共设置多个采样站位，覆盖美国东北大陆架的各类水动力环境。站位范围涵盖乔治浅滩、缅因湾附近的大南水道、玛莎葡萄园岛、罗德岛州纽波特附近的萨科内特河河口，以及纽约附近的哈德逊峡谷。TEP检测采用近期发表的基于阿尔新蓝染色方案与分光光度法的实验流程完成。本数据集为一项研究的组成部分，该研究旨在阐明水动力作用力对海洋颗粒凝聚、聚集与破碎过程的重要性。本数据集由新罕布什尔大学基兰·柯兰博士采集，航次负责人为乔治华盛顿大学马修·劳博士（首席科学家，chief-sci）。
