The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Near-surface abundance information for phytoplankton and zooplankton in the Mid-Atlantic bight determined from surveys made by the continuous plankton recorder from 2014 to 2017 (NCEI Accession 0288320) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains biological and physical data collected from 2014-04-26 to 2017-06-03. These data include density and taxon. The instruments used to collect these data include Continous Plankton Recorder. These data were collected by Adam Arnot Kemberling and Andrew J. Pershing of Gulf of Maine Research Institute as part of the "Collaborative Research: Understanding the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities (WARMEM)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-08-15. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Mid-Atlantic Bight Continuous Plankton Recorder 2014-2017 Dataset Description: This dataset is a subset of data from one of the many transects sampled as part of the CPR survey network. If a longer more complete record is desired, it can be acquired through communication with the Marine Biological Association (formerly the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation) at https://www.cprsurvey.org/ . Methods and Sampling: The continuous plankton recorder (CPR) sampling device is a high-speed sampling device designed to be towed behind commercial vessels sampling surface waters (less than 50 meters in depth). The device has an opening aperture size of 5 by 10 centimeters (cm) through which water and plankton are sampled. The constant flow through the device through this aperture powers a winding mechanism that spools sampling mesh at a fixed rate relative to water flow. Zooplankton and phytoplankton that pass through the aperture are sandwiched between two layers of a silk filtering mesh (270 micrometers (μm)). Each sampling location is roughly equivalent to 10 nautical miles of distance traveled by the towing vessel. For more details on the sampling protocols please see Warner & Hays (1994). This dataset is from CPR sampling performed by ships of opportunity (SOO). All sampling was performed with a continuous plankton recorder device using standard deployment protocols. Sampling was conducted along the continental shelf surface waters extending off the coast of New Jersey, USA in the Mid-Atlantic Bight. |
