Colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) measured during cruise TRANSDRIFT-XVII, Laptev Sea

The data set includes the light absorption coefficient of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) from 200 nm to 700 nm wavelength together with physical oceanographic observations (temperature and salinity) from the Laptev Sea. Sampling was carried out September 2010. During the ship-based expedition, we operated a CTD profiler (conductivity temperature-depth; Seabird 19+) to sample the basic hydrographic parameters. The CTD is operated on a carousel water sampler (SBE 32SC) allowing automated water sampling at pre-selected depths.
