SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - LIFE STAGE and TAXONOMIC CODE tows - plankton tows data collected in the North Atlantic Ocean on the ALBATROSS IV, ENDEAVOR and OCEANUS cruises AL9506, AL9605 and others as part of the GB project from 1995-02-12 to 1999-05-21 (NODC Accession 0107117)

NODC Accession 0107117 includes tows - plankton tows and biological data collected aboard the ALBATROSS IV, ENDEAVOR and OCEANUS during cruises AL9506, AL9605, AL9705, AL9801, AL9806, AL9808, AL9901, AL9904, EN261, EN263, EN265, EN276, EN278, EN282, EN320, EN322, OC275, OC298, OC300, OC301, OC302, OC303, OC317 and OC319 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1995-02-12 to 1999-05-21. These data include SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - LIFE STAGE and TAXONOMIC CODE. The instruments used to collect these data include net. These data were collected by Maria C Casas and Ted Durbin of University of Rhode Island as part of GB. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-04-26.

Zooplankton Meter3 Data from GSO/URI - Bongo Nets only
The Zooplankton Meter3 Database for the Georges Bank GLOBEC project was originally located in the laboratory of Ted Durbin at the Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island. It was accessed via the U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank data management system using SQLPlus network access to the data base management system at URI. Data were cached and are served from the local computer.
A description of the original URI database is available online and includes the design and variable definitions. A version of this document is shown here (http://globec.whoi.edu/globec-dir/data_doc/zoo_cubic_meter_URI.html).
Note: Our program's Data Acknowledgement Policy (http://globec.whoi.edu/globec-dir/data-acknowledgement-policy.html) requires that any person making substantial use of a data set must communicate with the investigators who acquired the data prior to publication and anticipate that the data collectors will be co-authors of published results.
The following documentation applies to the data found locally on the WHOI GLOBEC Data Server:
The data is served as a hierarchy. The least changing variables are in higher order levels (e.g., cruise id, year, month, etc.), while variables that change the most are in the lower order levels (e.g., time of collection, net number, taxon collected, etc.). There are six levels within the data; variable names and descriptions are given in the metadata.
Most column variable names and instrument names were taken from the U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank data thesaurus; those that were not follow the GLOBEC data protocols. The taxonomic code variable (taxon_code) is from the National Oceanographic Data Center's Taxonomic List, version 8. Taxonomic information is built into these ten-digit codes as they reflect the systematic nomenclature.

国家海洋学数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center，简称NODC）收录号0107117包含拖网作业（浮游生物拖网）及相关生物数据，采集于1995年2月12日至1999年5月21日期间的北大西洋海域，涉及AL9506、AL9605、AL9705、AL9801、AL9806、AL9808、AL9901、AL9904、EN261、EN263、EN265、EN276、EN278、EN282、EN320、EN322、OC275、OC298、OC300、OC301、OC302、OC303、OC317、OC319等航次，搭载ALBATROSS IV、ENDEAVOR与OCEANUS三艘科考船开展。此类数据包含物种鉴定——生活史阶段信息以及分类学编码。采集此类数据所用的仪器为浮游生物网。这些数据由罗德岛大学（University of Rhode Island）的Maria C Casas与Ted Durbin作为GB项目的组成部分采集所得。生物与化学海洋学数据管理办公室（Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office, 简称BCO-DMO）于2013年4月26日将这些数据提交至NODC。

以下为BCO-DMO提供的摘要文本：
浮游生物立方米计量数据集（Zooplankton Meter3 Database）：仅基于罗德岛大学海洋学研究生院（Graduate School of Oceanography, 简称GSO/URI）的博网采样数据
本用于乔治滩全球海洋生态系统动力学研究（Georges Bank GLOBEC）项目的浮游生物立方米计量数据库，最初存放于罗德岛大学海洋学研究生院Ted Durbin的实验室中。用户可通过美国全球海洋生态系统动力学研究（U.S. GLOBEC）乔治滩数据管理系统，借助SQLPlus网络访问罗德岛大学的数据库管理系统调取该数据。数据曾进行缓存，当前由本地计算机提供服务。
原始罗德岛大学数据库的说明文档可在线获取，其中包含数据库设计与变量定义内容。该文档的一个版本可通过以下链接查看：http://globec.whoi.edu/globec-dir/data_doc/zoo_cubic_meter_URI.html。
注意：本项目的数据致谢政策（http://globec.whoi.edu/globec-dir/data-acknowledgement-policy.html）要求，任何大量使用本数据集的人员，在发表成果前需与数据采集者取得联系，并预计数据采集者将作为发表成果的共同作者。
以下说明文档适用于WHOI GLOBEC数据服务器本地存储的数据：
数据以层级结构进行存储。变化频率越低的变量处于越高的层级（例如航次编号、年份、月份等），而变化频率越高的变量则处于越低的层级（例如采集时间、网具编号、采集类群等）。该数据集共包含六个层级，变量名称与说明详见元数据（metadata）。
多数列变量名称与仪器名称均取自美国全球海洋生态系统动力学研究乔治滩数据叙词表；未取自该叙词表的内容则遵循GLOBEC数据协议。分类学编码变量（taxon_code）采用国家海洋学数据中心第八版分类名录。此类十位编码内置了分类学信息，以反映系统命名规范。
