Abstract

The dataset contains sediment trap data collected from the R/V Roger Revelle during cruise RR2201 in the Eastern Indian Ocean (Argo Basin) from February 2022. The data, part of the BLOOFINZ-IO project, includes measurements of particulate organic carbon, nitrogen flux, carbon and nitrogen isotopes, chlorophyll a, and phaeopigment flux. The sediment traps were deployed using VERTEX-style surface-tethered systems, with samples processed for isotope analysis and other biochemical analyses.

The temporal bounds of this dataset represent the date when the sediment traps were initially deployed, through the last recovery date. The geospatial bounds also encompass the coordinates of trap all deployments and recoveries.
