Extant coccolithophore cell size measurements

This is a dataset of extant coccolithophore coccosphere and cell size measurements taken using light microscopy (LM) and measured using the image analysis progam Fiji. Samples come from the Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) 18 cruise (2008), cruise D366 around the NW European shelf (2011), and surface water samples taken in the Maldives during International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 359 (2015). Further information on the data collection and content of the dataset can be found in the dataset description word file.

This dataset is currently related to two manuscripts in preparation:

1.     Rosie M. Sheward, Alex J. Poulton, Jeremy R. Young, Joost de Vries, Fanny M. Monteiro, Jens O. Herrle. “Cellular morphological trait dataset for extant coccolithophores from the Atlantic Ocean” to be submitted to Scientific Data.

2.     Joost de Vries, Rosie M. Sheward, Alex J. Poulton, Jeremy Young, Fanny Monteiro, Roberta Johnson, Kyoko Hagino, Patricia Zivera and Levi Wolf. “Dataset of extant coccolithophore size, carbon content and global distribution” to be submitted to Scientific Data.
