Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP), Coomassie Stainable Particles (CSP) and accompanying variables in seawater of the NW Mediterranean

Concentrations of Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP) , Coomassie Stainable Particles (CSP), nitrate, silicate, phosphate, chlorophyll a (chla), particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON), seawater temperature, salinity, water transparency, solar radiation, flow cytometry-determined abundances of Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, picoeukaryotes, nanoeukaryotes, prokaryotic heterotrophs (PHA), and microscopy-detrrmined abundances of dinoflagellates, diatoms, coccolithophores and other microalgae in the NW Mediterranean. Sampling sites are the Blanes Bay Microbial Observatory (monthly sampling between 22/06/2015 and 10/10/2017) and the L'Estartit Oceanographic Station (monthly sampling between 25/06/2015 and 11/10/2017) in the coastal NW Mediterranean, plus the MIFASOL cruise (October 2015) onboard the RV Garcia del Cid in the NW Mediterranean.
