Abstract

These data include particle aggregate size, morphology, and fragmentation statistics obtained from laboratory experiments using a disaggregation roller tank that exposed aggregates to time-varying laminar shear. Particle aggregates were formed by rolling sterile cultures of Skeletonema grethae at a slow constant rate. Fragmentation was induced by oscillating the roller tank motion (following published methods) to create time-varying laminar shear with values relevant to turbulent shear in the op...
