Full Record - Pteropod shell dissolution in natural and high-CO2 environments

Pteropod shell dissolution in natural and high-CO2 environments

GB/NERC/BAS/PDC/00822

Abstract:
This dataset contains data from a study of pteropod shell dissolution on individuals exposed to CO2-enriched seawater. The data include the amount of dissolution as well as the physical and chemical parameters on which carbonate chemistry parameters were calculated.

Lineage/Methodology:	Sample collection: Pteropods were collected from upper ocean water down to a maximum depth of 200 m from various locations across the Scotia Sea using a combination of vertically and obliquely towed Bongo nets and MOCNESS nets during the JR177 research cruise. Oblique tows were carried out at speeds of less than 1 knot. For further details on acquisition and processing see related URL links.
