Particulate organic carbon and nitrogen were analyzed according to Sharp (1974; https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0131538). Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) and Coomassie blue stainable particle (CSP) were measured by the microscopic method after Engel et al. (2009; Determination of Marine Gel Particles , Practical guidelines for the analysis of seawater. / ed. by Oliver Wurl Boca Raton [u.a.] ; CRC Press, ISBN: 978-1-420-07306-5 ). spectral slope of the particle size distribution were calculated after Mari, X. and Kiørboe, T. (1996). Abundance, size distribution and bacterial coloniza− tion of transparent exopolymeric particles (TEP) during spring in the kattegat. J. Plankton Res., 18(6):969–986.</description></descriptions><geoLocations><geoLocation><geoLocationBox><westBoundLongitude>-25.923519999999996</westBoundLongitude><eastBoundLongitude>-19.700400000000002</eastBoundLongitude><southBoundLatitude>14.26966</southBoundLatitude><northBoundLatitude>18.5997</northBoundLatitude></geoLocationBox></geoLocation><geoLocation><geoLocationPlace>North Atlantic Ocean</geoLocationPlace></geoLocation></geoLocations><fundingReferences><fundingReference><funderName>Federal Ministry of Education and Research</funderName><funderIdentifier funderIdentifierType="Crossref Funder ID">https://doi.org/10.13039/501100002347</funderIdentifier><awardNumber awardURI="https://foerderportal.bund.de/foekat/jsp/SucheAction.do?actionMode=view&amp;fkz=03F0815A">03F0815A</awardNumber><awardTitle>Küstennahe Auftriebsgebiete REEBUS: Physikalisch-biogeochemische sowie pelagisch-benthische Kopplung in Wirbeln vor Westafrika</awardTitle></fundingReference></fundingReferences></resource>
