Gelatinous zooplankton observations during four research cruises (SKQ202204S, MGL2207, SKQ202303S, SR2317) carried out in the Northern California Current from March 2022 to August 2023

These data include a list of gelatinous zooplankton species observed during four 14-day research cruises carried out in the Northern California Current from March 2022 to August 2023. Plankton samples were collected with a coupled MOCNESS system that was towed to 100 m (or 5 m off the bottom in stations with <100 m depth). Samples were subsequently poured into sorting tray and picked for gelatinous taxa. This data set represents the first comprehensive list of gelatinous taxa from this region and includes ctenophores, cnidarians and pelagic tunicates, taxa that are largely omitted from studies in the NCC.

本数据集包含2022年3月至2023年8月期间，在北加利福尼亚流（Northern California Current, NCC）开展的4次为期14天的科考航次中观测到的胶状浮游动物物种名录。浮游生物样本采用耦合式MOCNESS系统采集，该系统下放至100米水深；对于水深不足100米的站位，则下放至距海底5米处。随后将样本倒入分选托盘，对胶状类群进行分拣挑取。本数据集为该区域首个胶状类群综合名录，涵盖栉水母动物、刺胞动物与浮游被囊动物，此类群在北加利福尼亚流的相关研究中大多被遗漏。
