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: | Phytoplankton occurrence and density in the Cariaco Basin (southeastern Caribbean Sea) November 1995 - January 2017: monthly data collected by the CArbon Retention In A Colored Ocean (CARIACO) Time-Series Program (NCEI Accession 0191567) |
| Abstract: | From November 1995 to January 2017 the CARIACO Ocean Time Series program studied the relationship between surface primary production (carbon fixation rates by photosynthesis of planktonic algae), regional hydrography, physical forcing variables (such as the wind), and the settling flux of particulate organic carbon in the Cariaco Basin, in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. One of the monthly measurements taken by the program was water samples for phytoplankton taxonomy (occurrence and density). Those water samples were collected with Niskin bottles during the CTD Cast 4 (the first cast of the morning) at 1, 7, 25, 35, 75, and 100 m depth. Phytoplankton taxonomy and density was determined at each depth at the level of species or genera. Values of zero (for the master of density) are real, and denote that an specific species was not found at that cruise/depth. |

| Supplementary information: | This dataset belongs to the CARIACO Ocean Time-series that had monthly cruises at the same station (10.50° N, 64.67° W). The CARIACO Ocean Time-Series Program (formerly known as CArbon Retention In A Colored Ocean) started on November 1995 (CAR-001) and ended on January 2017 (CAR-232). Monthly cruises were conducted to the CARIACO station (10.50° N, 64.67° W) onboard the R/V Hermano Ginés of the Fundación La Salle de Ciencias Naturales de Venezuela.The program studied the relationship between surface primary production, physical forcing variables like the wind, and the settling flux of particulate carbon in the Cariaco Basin. This depression, located on the continental shelf of Venezuela, shows marked seasonal and interannual variation in hydrographic properties and primary production (carbon fixation rates by photosynthesis of planktonic algae). |
