Species abundance profile and discrete sample data collected in the South Atlantic Ocean and South Pacific Ocean on the LAURENCE M. GOULD and NATHANIEL B. PALMER cruises LMG0104, LMG0203 and others as part of the Southern Ocean GLOBEC project from 2001-05-01 to 2002-09-11 (NODC Accession 0112189)

NODC Accession 0112189 includes profile, discrete sample and biological data collected aboard the LAURENCE M. GOULD and NATHANIEL B. PALMER during cruises LMG0104, LMG0203, NBP0104 and NBP0204 in the South Atlantic Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from 2001-05-01 to 2002-09-11. These data include species abundance. The instruments used to collect these data include Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) and Optical plankton counter. These data were collected by Meng Zhou of University of Massachusetts Boston as part of Southern Ocean GLOBEC. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-07-25.

The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO:

This data set was collected from the Optical Plankton Counter (OPC, Focal Technologies) during Southern Ocean GLOBEC cruises LMG00104, NBP0104, LMG0203, and NBP0204. The OPC was mounted on the MOCNESS-1 frame.
