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: | Zooplankton species composition, abundance, and biomass in the Cariaco Basin (southeastern Caribbean Sea), October 2001 - January 2017: monthly data collected by the CArbon Retention In A Colored Ocean (CARIACO) Ocean Time-Series Program (NCEI Accession 0191571) |
| Abstract: | 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 were zooplankton oblique tows (from 200 m deep to the surface, and two mesh sizes of 200 and 500 microns) for measuring Zooplankton groups composition, abundance, and biomass (dry weight and ash content). This data set was collected monthly during October 2001 to January 2017. Empty values denote that an specific zooplankton group was not found at that cruise. |
