Zooplankton displacement volumes calculated from net tow sampling by the MOCNESS Plankton Tow System, Continental Margin Western Antarctic Peninsula, GLOBEC.

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

Zooplankton displacement volumes (biovolume) and dry weight calculations are derived from MOCNESS-1 plankton tow samples collected from 4 cruises to the Antarctic, 2001 and 2002.

Description

The general survey area includes: the continental margin to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula extending from the northern tip of Adelaide Island to the southern portion of Alexander Island and east into Marguerite Bay. The MOCNESS-1 unit has a net mouth opening of one square meter at a 45 degree tow angle, net size of 335 microns, and the ability to sample at nine different depth intervals over the duration of the tow. ship/ cruiseid/ begin date/ end data N.B.
