| Title of dataset | Data from Eurofleets+ PHYCOB cruise-Part I: CTD + nutrient data |
| Narrative summary of dataset | Data were collected in the southern Western Black Sea (Bulgarian and Romanian territorial waters) for the Eurofleets+ PHYCOB cruise. This submission contains CTD and nutrient data. The main scientific objectives of the research cruise are: 1) To assess the presence of toxic microalgae in the plankton assemblage of the Western Black Sea. 2) To quantitatively determine the spatial distribution of toxic phytoplankton species and their corresponding toxins in the plankton. 3) To quantitatively describe the spatial distribution of toxic phytoplankton resting stages in surface sediments and determine hotspots of recruitment and bloom initiation. 4) To define correlations among hydrographic and/or meteorological conditions and occurrence of HAB species. 5) To characterize the plankton communities accompanying HAB species together with toxin analysis of size fractionated samples. 6) To identify heterotrophic dinoflagellates, ciliates, or other small zooplankton as possible toxin vectors. 7) To isolate toxic Black Sea microalgal species and establish monoclonal cultures for characterization of Black Sea strains. 8) To perform an interseasonal comparison of toxigenic plankton species by combining the data sets collected during the R/V Akademik cruise that was performed in May/June 2019 with our data from summer. 9) To compare the data set from the Western Black Sea to the Southern (North-) Western North Sea, Baltic Sea and West Greenland obtained during earlier expeditions for site comparisons. |
| Summary of processing methodology | Standard extraction of data using seabird software. CTD data was combined with pH and oxygen data from the ship lab by Tubitak personnel. Kristof Moller added a tab ODV that contains the converted CTD data. |
