Data were collected from land-based stations on Carcass Island, Falkland Islands (2010/11 and 2011/12), and Tudor Hill, Bermuda (samples to be confirmed), as well as on sea-going research cruises, M121 (2015), PS132 (2022), and DY157 (2023). Analyses were conducted using ion chromatography, Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), depending on the element of interest. The data were collected to quantify the inputs of dust and its associated micronutrients to the ocean, and produce dust-flux maps, improving understanding of how bio-limiting elements such as iron (Fe) are made available in the open ocean. The analyses are still ongoing and therefore are not currently all made available. These data were collected and/or analysed by the University of East Anglia under the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Discovery Science project, Atmospheric fluxes of mineral dust-derived soluble trace elements to the ocean using thorium isotopes (ThorMap) (grant reference NE/V001213/1).

Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. true This dataset comprises of atmospheric aerosol, rainwater, seawater and soil data for soluble major ions, and soluble and total trace elements. Data were collected from land-based stations on Carcass Island, Falkland Islands (2010/11 and 2011/12), and Tudor Hill, Bermuda (TBC), as well as on sea-going research cruises, M121 (2015), PS132 (2022), and DY157 (2023). Analyses were conducted using ion chromatography, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), depending on the element of interest. Replicate analyses were performed, with standard deviations being supplied alongside the means. Certain measurements have been done using reference materials and in these cases the accuracy has also been provided. Data quality flags following the SeaDataNet scheme have been assigned to the data. This dataset was created by scientists at the University of East Anglia for the NERC Discovery Science project titled “Atmospheric fluxes of mineral dust-derived soluble trace elements to the ocean using thorium isotopes (ThorMap)” with grant reference NE/V001213/1, following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for ingestion into one of the schemas of the National Oceanographic Database (NODB). During ingestion BODC undertake quality control, documentation and metadata enhancement procedures appropriate to the type of data.
