Description
The data refer to fifteen-day and monthly measurements of sinking particulate matter in the marine areas of the northern Aegean, Cretan, Ionian Seas and the Levantine/northeastern Mediterranean. The collection instruments were PPS3/3 Technicap sediment traps with collection areas of 0.125 m² and 12 receiving cups. The locations and corresponding depths of the trap deployments for the different areas are as follows:
Historical biogeochemical flux data for the time period 2015: A) Northern Aegean Sea (station M2, Athos Basin): 39°58.16′ N, 24°43.48′ E; depth 1000 m (trap A) and 500 m (trap B)
B) Cretan Sea (station M3A, central Cretan): 35°44.76′ N, 25°09.29′ E; depth ~1500 m (trap A) and 350 m (trap B)
C) Ionian Sea (station KMS, Nestor): 36°2.96′ N, 21°28.93′ E; depth ~4300 m (trap A), 2000 m (trap C) and 700 m (trap E)
Geochemical flux data within the framework of CLIMPACT I-II for the period 2021–2023: A) Cretan Sea (station M3A, central Cretan): 35°43.579′ N, 25°09.855′ E; depth 1420 m (trap A), 600 m (trap B) and 300 m (trap C)
B) Cretan Sea (station ANTIK, Antikythira): 35°36.747′ N, 23°32.133′ E; depth ~840 m (trap A) and 300 m (trap B)
