The dataset includes six xlsx spreadsheet files:
##### Salinity experiments
The file *salinity-experiments.xlsx* contains two worksheets for the two sets of salinity experiments. The size distributions, that were measured with a differential mobility particle sizer (DMPS) and optical particle size spectrometer (OPSS), were combined at 500 nm and averaged for each salinity, and are given in the form dN/dlogDp.
##### Bubble density
The file *bubble-density.xlsx* provides averaged bubble densities in the field of view at each salinity.
##### Temperature ramps at distinct salinities
The file *temperature-ramps.xlsx* contains four work sheets with averaged particle size distributions (in the form dN/dlogDp) for the temperature ramps at the salinities 35 g/kg , 17 g/kg and 6 g/kg (the temperature ramp at salinity 35 g/kg was repeated).
The measured diameters are dry diameters and were shape corrected using a dynamic shape factor calculated according to Zieger et al. (2017).
##### Raw data
The files *DMPS_data_raw.xlsx* and *OPSS_data_raw.xlsx* contain each two work sheets with the raw data over the entire periods of both sets of experiments (in the form dN/dlogDp), that were measured by the differential mobility particle sizer (DMPS) and optical particle size spectrometer (OPSS). The time frames of each experiment are given in the file *time_frames.xlsx*.
Size-resolved particle concentrations were measured with a custom-built differential mobility particle sizer that measures particles with diameter 15 nm < Dp < 900 nm and an optical particle size spectrometer that measures particles 300 nm < Dp < 10 μm. These size distributions were combined at a diameter of 500 nm. Additionally, the total number concentration was measured with a condensation particle counter.
The bubble size distribution at the water surface was determined photographically.
