Phytoplankton enumeration and biomass calculations from samples collected in the Barents Sea during 2017-2018

Collection and preservation of open ocean water samples from stations along a transect in the Barents Sea over the course of a year from July 2017 - July 2018. Four cruises in total to cover seasonal changes, two on board the James Clark Ross (RRS) and two aboard the Helmer Hansen (RV). A standard CTD cast was deployed to collect the samples and depths were selected to support Primary Production experiments on board the ship, with deep samples representing 1 % PAR. Research assistants from SAMS (Scottish Association for Marine Science) were responsible for the sample collection and Elaine Mitchell of SAMS was responsible for the sample analysis and data processing.

Funding was provided by the Arctic PRIZE - NERC Thematic grant - Changing Arctic Ocean (CAO) programme - NE/P006302/1.

2017年7月至2018年7月期间，在巴伦支海某断面沿线站位开展为期一年的开阔海域水样采集与保存工作。共执行4个航次以覆盖季节变化，其中2个航次由皇家研究船（RRS）James Clark Ross完成，2个航次由研究船（RV）Helmer Hansen完成。通过标准温盐深仪（CTD）投放采集水样，所选深度需支撑船上的初级生产（Primary Production）实验，其中深层水样对应1%的光合有效辐射（PAR）。SAMS（苏格兰海洋科学协会，Scottish Association for Marine Science）的研究助理负责样品采集，SAMS的Elaine Mitchell负责样品分析与数据处理。

资金由北极PRIZE项目——NERC主题基金——北冰洋变化（Changing Arctic Ocean，CAO）计划（项目编号NE/P006302/1）提供。
