Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Date, time, location, and depth range for MOCNESS tows from the R/V Seward Johnson, R/V Knorr in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific from 2007-10-25 to 2009-01-01 (NCEI Accession 0291305)

Preview graphic

This dataset contains data collected on R/V Knorr and R/V Seward Johnson during cruises KN195-02 and SJ07 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2007-10-25 to 2009-01-01. These data include depth. The instruments used to collect these data include MOCNESS. These data were collected by Karen Wishner of University of Rhode Island and Brad Seibel of University of South Florida as part of the "Collaborative Research: Zooplankton in the Redoxcline of the Cariaco Basin: Impact on Biogeochemical Cycling (ETP)" project and "Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-01-30.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Date, time, location, and depth range for MOCNESS tows

Dataset Description:
Vertically-stratified day and night MOCNESS tows usually from 1200 or 1000 m to the surface. Some tows covered smaller depth intervals in finer detail. See Wishner et al. 2013, 2018, and 2019 (online preprint in review) for more details.

Supplemental Information	Acquisition Description: See Wishner et al. 2013, 2018, and 2019 (online preprint in review) for details and results. Sampling for zooplankton occurred on the upcast portion of the tow. Samples were preserved in borate-buffered formaldehyde at sea. Zooplankton, especially copepods, were sorted and identified microscopically later in the lab.
Purpose	This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
Use Limitations	accessLevel: Public Distribution liability: NOAA and NCEI make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. NOAA and NCEI cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these data. If appropriate, NCEI can only certify that the data it distributes are an authentic copy of the records that were accepted for inclusion in the NCEI archives.
