Abstract
This dataset includes compiled plankton size spectra from 5 different projects: California Current Ecosystem Long-Term Ecological Research (CCE LTER) process cruises, Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) cruises, Costa Rica Dome Fluxes Zinc and Iron Experiments (CRD FluZIE), Gulf of Mexico Bluefin Larvae in Oligotrophic Ocean Foodwebs, Investigations of Nutrients to Zooplankton (BLOOFINZ-GoM), and Salp Particle expOrt and Ocean Production (SalpPOOP) spanning 2004 to 2018. Biomass was determined using three different methods: flow cytometry for less than 2-micron cells, epifluorescence microscopy for 2 - 200 um cells, and size-fractionated zooplankton net tows for >200-um organisms.
For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/924554
