AOC2025 Cruise Report: Oceanographic Data from the Greenland Sea

A cruise report from the Atlantic-Arctic Ocean Change (AOC2025) expedition to the southern Greenland Sea. The 74.2 MB PDF documents water column sampling, plankton studies, sediment coring, and seafloor mapping conducted in May 2025. The report was authored by Colin Stedmon and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Tracing freshwater pathways from sea ice melt based on water column property profiles.
• Studying spring phytoplankton bloom dynamics based on optical property and plankton haul data.
• Quantifying carbon flux and zooplankton grazing impact based on vertical sampling.
• Reconstructing Holocene conditions based on collected sediment cores.
• Mapping seafloor bathymetry based on multibeam and sub-bottom profiler data.

Strengths

• Report is a 74.2 MB PDF providing detailed narrative of the expedition's scientific activities.
• Focuses on multiple interconnected oceanographic processes in a specific region (Greenland Sea).
• Includes data from diverse sampling methods: water column profiles, plankton nets, sediment cores, and seafloor mapping.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The data is presented in a PDF report format, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
