Zooplankton biomass and related MOCNESS data for tows taken on the 1981-82 warm-core rings cruises

Abstract

Compiled in this report are tables of zooplankton biomass data (displacement volume), carbon equivalents, and associated net tow data (volume filtered, depth, temperature, and salinity) collected with a Multlple Opening/Closing Net Environmental Sampling System (MOCNESS) during the warm-core ring cruises which took between September 1981 and October 1982. Rings sampled were 81-D, 82-B, and 82-H. Also included are plots of tow positions relative to ring center and plots of biomass and cumulative proportion of biomass versus depth. A total of 81 tows and 1220 samples were taken.
