Vertical profiles of environmental parameters measured from physical, optical and imaging sensors during station TARA_020 of the Tara Oceans expedition 2009-2013

The Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013) sampled the world oceans on board a 36 m long schooner, collecting environmental data and organisms from viruses to planktonic metazoans for later analyses using modern sequencing and state-of-the-art imaging technologies. Tara Oceans Data are particularly suited to study the genetic, morphological and functional diversity of plankton. The present data set includes properties of seawater, particulate matter and dissolved matter from physical, optical and imaging sensors mounted on a vertical sampling system (Rosette) used during the 2009-2013 tara Oceans Expedition. It comprised 2 pairs of conductivity and temperature sensors (SEABIRD components), and a complete set of WEtLabs optical sensors, including chrorophyll and CDOM fluorometers, a 25 cm transmissiometer, and a one-wavelength backscatter meter. In addition, a SATLANTIC ISUS nitrate sensor and a Hydroptic Underwater Vision Profiler (UVP) were mounted on the rosette. […]

Tara Oceans远征（2009-2013年）于36米长的帆船上对全球海洋进行了采样，收集了从病毒到浮游多细胞动物的环境数据和生物样本，以便日后运用现代测序技术和最先进的成像技术进行深入分析。Tara Oceans数据集特别适用于研究浮游生物的遗传、形态和功能多样性。本数据集涵盖了物理、光学和成像传感器在垂直采样系统（Rosette）上的安装所收集的海水、颗粒物和溶解物质的特性，该系统在2009-2013年的Tara Oceans远征期间使用。它包括两对电导率和温度传感器（SEABIRD组件），以及一套完整的WEtLabs光学传感器，包括叶绿素和CDOM荧光计、25厘米的透射仪以及单波长后向散射仪。此外，还安装了SATLANTIC ISUS硝酸盐传感器和Hydroptic水下视觉剖面仪（UVP）。
