SmartBuoy Marine Observational Network - UK Waters Phytoplankton Data 2018-2019

This dataset consists of analysed phytoplankton data from the years 2018-2019
inclusive collected in UK waters from the SmartBuoy moorings at Dowsing,
WestGabbard2, Warp and Liverpool Bay using WMS and EDU automated water
samplers. SmartBuoys consist of a 4 meter tall stainless steel frame with a
fibreglass toroid for buoyancy. Instruments are attached at a nominal 1 meter
depth to the frame. The water samplers collect into pre-spiked bags containing
acidified Lugols Iodine on a pre-determined cycle over the course of a
deployment. As of the beginning of this data set water samples have been taken
using a CTD rosette on mooring turnarounds in case of buoy failure, reducing
the issue of data gaps Following recovery these samples were analysed for a
full community of phytoplankton species using the Utermohl method on
high-power inverted microscopes. Phytoplankton cell counts are abundance
values reported in Cells per Litre.

本数据集收录了2018年至2019年期间，从英国水域中SmartBuoy浮标系泊点Dowsing、WestGabbard2、Warp及Liverpool Bay所采集的经分析后的浮游植物数据。所使用的采集设备包括WMS和EDU自动化水样采集器。SmartBuoys由4米高的不锈钢框架和纤维增强塑料环构成，以提供浮力。仪器固定在框架约1米深的位置。水样采集器按照预定周期将含有酸化卢戈碘溶液的预标记袋填满水样。在浮标故障时，为了减少数据缺失问题，采用CTD罗盘在系泊点进行取样。浮标回收后，这些水样通过Utermohl方法在高效倒置显微镜上进行了浮游植物群落的全物种分析。浮游植物细胞计数以每升细胞数的形式报告其丰度值。
