log in [Particle counts, Zooglider BioSWOT-Med] - Particle counts for BioSWOT-Med Zooglider deployment in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea, March-May 2023 (Zooglider assessment of zooplankton frontal gradients across the BIOSWOT-Med region) These data are based on deployment of the Scripps Zooglider in collaboration with the French-led BIOSWOT-Med study in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea in Spring 2023.  This study was one of the Adopt-a-Crossover field studies carried out around the world in synchrony with the launch by NASA/CNES of the new SWOT satellite for enhanced ocean altimetry.  We deployed Zooglider on 30 March 2023 from Palma, Majora using a small craft, then navigated it remotely to the BIOSWOT-Med study region.  Initially Zooglider sampled to the east of Majorca and south of Menorca. Then we recovered Zooglider at sea, transported it to the center of an anticyclonic eddy north of Menorca, and redeployed it, navigating it from the eddy center across the eddy periphery.  We then recovered it at sea on 8 May 2023, for a total mission duration of 40 days.  Zooglider data were telemetered back to our server each time the vehicle surfaced and the data were immediately posted on our public website, available to all BIOSWOT-Med participants and any member of the general public.  The data archived here are the data recovered from the Zooglider at the end of the mission.  They include enumerations of 25 categories of planktonic organisms, plus enumerations of particles between 0.25-0.45 mm Equivalent Circular Diameter.  Data were typically acquired in Zooglider dives between approximately 420 m depth and the sea surface, apart from initial and final Zooglider dives that were somewhat shallower.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nDive_number (unitless)\nlatitude (Latitude_mid_ascent_75, degrees_north)\nlongitude (Longitude_mid_ascent_75, degrees_east)\nISO_DateTime_UTC (unitless)\nPressure (decibars)\nParticles_0_25mm_0_45mm (Number/liter)\nAcantharia (Number/Liter)\nAppendicularians_w_House (Number/Liter)\nAppendicularians_without_House (Number/Liter)\nCeratium (Number/Liter)\nChaetognaths (Number/Liter)\nCladocerans (Number/Liter)\n...

Monthly cruises were conducted to the CARIACO station (10.50\\u00b0 N, 64.67\\u00b0 W) onboard the R/V Hermano Gin\\u00e9s of the Fundaci\\u00f3n 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).\\r\\n\\r\\nZooplankton sampling was done during each CARIACO time-series cruise from October 2001 to January 2017 (cruises CAR071 - CAR232). Oblique BONGO net tow samples from 200 m to the surface were analyzed to determine biomass (dry weight and ash content) and taxonomic composition. Empty values denote that a specific zooplankton group was not found at that cruise.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nCruise (unitless)\nCruise_ID (unitless)\nDay (unitless)\nMonth (unitless)\nYear (unitless)\nDate (unitless)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\nAnalyst (unitless)\nMesh_Size (micrometers (um))\nTOTAL_DENSITY (individuals per meter cubed (ind/m3))\nBIOMASS (miligrams per meter cubed (mg/m3))\nASH (miligrams per meter cubed (mg/m3))\nCOPEPODS (individual per meter cubed (ind/m3))\nCALANOIDS (individual per meter cubed (ind/m3))\nCYCLOPOIDA (individual per meter cubed (ind/m3))\n...
