Phytoplankton composition, primary production and chlorophyll a from 1966-2017 in the Middle Adriatic

Chlorophyll a concentrations analysis started from 1972 till 2017 and included coastal and open waters stations. Phytoplankton community analysis consist of datasets started from 1952-2017 while primary production measurements were obtained from 1962.

Datasets were gained from projects Vir- Konavle started from 1976. This project included coastal stations along Middle and South Adraitic and was performed seasonaly. National monitoring programe Jadran started 1998 and among coastal stations, measurements were performed at open waters (three transects across Adriatic).
