NASA Earthdata CMR2021 · collection

This dataset contains results from Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) surveys in the Southern Ocean. When the opportunity arises, zooplankton species, numbers and abundance data are recorded on a continuous basis as vessels steam through the area between Australia and Antarctica, including Heard and Macquarie Islands. Observations have been made since June 1990 and are ongoing. Obviously the obser

In this data set we examined whether eDNA samples can detect similar numbers of species and community compositions as genetic continuous plankton recorder (CPR) samples. On the V4 voyage 2018 from Hobart to Macquarie island, small and large volume eDNA samples as well as genetic CPR samples were collected. All samples were sequenced with a metazoan specific cytochrome c oxidase I marker (folder "2

During the K-Axis marine voyage from mid Jan-late Feb 2016, a diverse range of sampling techniques were employed to collect specimens and data. Each sampling event was recorded by scientists and technical support staff in a logbook that was kept in the operations room on board the Aurora Australis. This is a direct digital copy/transcription of the paper logbook. event_number: A unique event ident

NASA Earthdata CMR2010 · collection

This thesis was conducted under the auspices of the Southern Ocean Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) Survey. The research conducted had the dual aims of providing baseline data for this long-term monitoring program and providing the first detailed analysis of zooplankton communities and distribution patterns in the Southern Ocean south of Australia. Data were principally collected between October

NASA Earthdata CMR1999 · collection

This dataset contains the data from Voyage 7.2 1989-90 of the Aurora Australis. The observations were taken from around Heard Island between May and June 1990. The objective of the zooplankton program was to determine the composition, distribution and abundance of zooplankton with the Heard Island-Kerguelen area, thus providing information of food availability to planktivorous fish. Surveys of kri

NASA Earthdata CMR1999 · collection

This dataset contains results from the Aurora Australis Voyage 6 1990-91. Surveys of krill and other zooplankton were taken in Prydz Bay, Antarctica between January and February 1991. Species identity and abundance data, length, age, growth rate and mortality rate data were obtained. The major species investigated were Euphausia superba, Euphausia frigidia, Euphausia crystallorophias and Thysanoes

The aims of the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) Survey are to monitor the near-surface plankton of the North Atlantic and North Sea on a monthly basis, using Continuous Plankton Recorders on a network of routes to cover the area. Tables of month/year sampling, or a list of latitude, longitude and date of selected samples in the database can be obtained by using the 'Data Extract' link. There is

The Kerguelen Axis voyage was planned to collect data to enhance the realism of end-to-end ecosystem models being developed in the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre, to investigate the effects of climate change and ocean acidification on Southern Ocean ecosystems in the Indian Sector (particularly in relation to factors affecting the northern distribution of Antarctic kr

A recent ~50 year time series study using averaged North Sea fish catch, recruitment and spawning stock biomass and zoo- and phytoplankton from the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey provides strong evidence for interaction between fish species and plankton. Clear physical forcing of long-term changes in some zooplankton was also shown. The aim is to extend this work to include additional d

A large proportion of the variability in abundance of the copepod Calanus, which is a major food item of larval and adult fish around the British Isles, can be related to the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), but causal links have yet to be established. Two possible processes are: changes in wind strength affecting the onset of thermal stratification and hance primary production; and changes in cu

CPR Plankton Data for the ICES/GLOBEC Cod and Climate Change Backward Facing Workshop 3 files are available for use within the 'Backward Facing' workshop - one for each ICES area IVa, IVb and IVc in the North Sea. They files contain month/year abundance data for three CPR groups: Phytoplankton Colour Index, Total Copepods and Calanus total (stage V-VI, amalgamation of C. finmarchicus and C. helgol

Data are "phytoplankton counts" for each phytoplankton taxon observed, from the CPR samples collected by the Southern Ocean CPR Survey projects 472 and 4107 (Hosie et al. 2003). The SAHFOS on-silk phytoplankton count method is used (Batten et al. 2003). Phytoplankton are identified to the best taxonomic level possible, ideally to species or at least genus, in 20 fields of view (295 plus or minus 1

The primary objective of this subtask of the TASC programme, is to examine the role of NSDW in a) facilitation colonization of the temperate northeast Atlantic rim ecosystem by C. finmarchicus which is essentially a sub-Arctic species in terms of its global distribution and b) potentially providing a link or teleconnection between the various ecosystems thereby leading to a degree of synchrony in

The objective of this subtask of the Trans-Atlantic Study of Calanus (TASC) programme was to determine trends and seasonal cycles in abundance of Calanus in different regions of the NE Atlantic and examine evidence for correlation between regions, by extending the statistical time series analysis of data from the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) surveys carried out for the North Sea during ICOS
