attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Zooplankton samples were collected during each monthly CARIACO time-series
cruise from October 2001 to January 2017 (cruises 71-232). It was used a BONGO
type net with two receptacles of 60 cm opening diameter and two different mesh
sizes of 200 and 500 microns. A flowmeter was set at the opening of the 500
microns\u2019 net to calculate the volume of water filtered. An oblique tow
was made for ~15 minutes during the day (between 9 and 10 AM) from between 200
m deep to the surface. During the entire tow, the cable was maintained at an
angle of 40-45 degrees with a clinometer. The ship\u2019s speed during the
tows was maintained around 1-1.5 knots, and the net was pulled upwards at a
speed of 1 m/s. Once at the surface, the nets were washed with seawater, and
the collecting jars contents were emptied in labeled glass bottles that were
kept refrigerated until returning to the lab.\u00a0

Zooplankton taxonomy was performed at Fundaci\u00f3n La Salle de Ciencias
Naturales, Estaci\u00f3n de Investigaciones Marinas de Margarita (EDIMAR),
Isla de Margarita, Venezuela. When zooplankton samples were returned to the
lab (~12 hours later), formalin (5%) neutralized with borax was added to each
sample for preservation. For processing, each sample was split in two aliquots
with a Folsom splitter, one for biomass and the other for taxonomy. The
aliquot for biomass calculation was washed with DI water to eliminate salt
excess, dried in pre-weighted crucibles for 48 hours in an electric oven at a
constant temperature of 60\u00b0C, and it was kept in a desiccator until
measuring the Dry Weight (biomass). Afterwards, the dry sample was calcined in
a muffle furnace at 450\u00b0C for 4 hours and weighted to measure Ash
(inorganic remains). For taxonomy, aliquots were extracted and placed in a 10
ml Bogorov chamber in order to count and identify taxonomic groups present.
Identification and counts were made using a stereomicroscope Baush & Lomb
(7x). Processed taxonomy samples were stored in the collection maintained at
the Museo Oceanol\u00f3gico Hermano Benigno Rom\u00e1n (MOBR - EDIMAR). The
manuals used for zooplankton identification were Newell & Newell (1977),
Tregouboff & Rose (1978), and Boltosvkoy (1981).

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_0_description String A Bongo Net consists of paired plankton nets, typically with a 60 cm diameter mouth opening and varying mesh sizes, 10 to 1000 micron. The Bongo Frame was designed by the National Marine Fisheries Service for use in the MARMAP program. It consists of two cylindrical collars connected with a yoke so that replicate samples are collected at the same time. Variations in models are designed for either vertical hauls (OI-2500 = NMFS Pairovet-Style, MARMAP Bongo, CalVET) or both oblique and vertical hauls (Aquatic Research). The OI-1200 has an opening and closing mechanism that allows discrete "known-depth" sampling. This model is large enough to filter water at the rate of 47.5 m3/minute when towing at a speed of two knots. More information: Ocean Instruments, Aquatic Research, Sea-Gear

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String Since 1995, the CARIACO Ocean Time-Series (formerly known as the CArbon Retention In A Colored Ocean) Program has 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 (Map), shows marked seasonal and interannual variation in hydrographic properties and primary production (carbon fixation rates by photosynthesis of planktonic algae).
This peculiar basin is anoxic below ~250 m, due its restricted circulation and high primary production (Muller-Karger et al., 2001). CARIACO observations show annual primary production rates exceed 500 gC/m2y, of which over 15-20% can be accounted for by events lasting one month or less. Such events are observed in other locations where time series observations are collected, and suggest that prior estimates of regional production based on limited sampling may have been underestimated. The annual primary production rates in the Cariaco Basin are comparable to rates estimated using time series observations for Monterey Bay (460 gC/m2y; Chavez, 1996), and higher than previous rates estimated for Georges Bank, the New York Shelf, and the Oregon Shelf (380, 300, and 190 gC/m2y, respectively; Walsh, 1988).
The Cariaco Basin has long been the center of attention of scientists trying to explain paleoclimate. Due to its high rates of sedimentation (30 to >100 cm/ky; Peterson et al., 2000) and excellent preservation, the varved sediments of the Cariaco Basin offer the opportunity to study high resolution paleoclimate and better understand the role of the tropics in global climate change ( Black et al., 1999; Peterson et al., 2000; Haug et al., 2001; Black et al., 2004; Hughen et al., 2004 ).
Now, the CARIACO program provides a link between the sediment record and processes near the surface of the ocean. Sediment traps maintained by the CARIACO program show that over 5% of autochtonous material reaches 275 m depth, and that nearly 2% reaches 1,400 m. The significance of this flux is that it represents a sink for carbon and that it helps explain the record of ancient climate stored at the bottom of the Cariaco Basin.

attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String 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\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.
