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 length measurements from 5 different groups of highly elongate phytoplankton chains (Guinardia spp., Proboscia spp., Diatom chains with cell lengths much greater than cell widths, and diatom chains with cell lengths approximately equal to cell widths, and Trichodesmium filaments) from in situ images taken with Zooglider's shadowgraph Zoocam. Data were typically acquired in Zooglider dives between approximately 420 meters depth and the sea surface, apart from initial and final Zooglider dives that were somewhat shallower.
