Absorption coefficients by coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) from North Sea to Fram Strait measured at fixed stations with a Liquid Waveguide Capillary Cell system during POLARSTERN cruise PS121

Water samples were taken during North Sea to Fram Strait expedition PS121 with RV Polarstern from 11 Aug to 10 Sep 2019. Water samples were collected from CTD Niskin bottles at five to six different depths from the upper 100 m. The same water samples were measured as in Bracher et al. (2021). Water samples for CDOM absorption analysis are filtered through 0.2 µm filters and analysed onboard with a 2.5-m path length liquid waveguide capillary cell system (LWCC, WPI) following Levering et al. (2017). Details on method adaptation to our instrumentation set-up are provided in Alvarez et al. (2022). Salinity data were extracted from https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.915944.
