LOPC data: microplankton size spectra from 0.1 to 35 mm from R/V Pelican PE08-54, PE09-12, PE10-01 in the Northwest Florida shelf off Panama City FL. from 2008-2009 (BenDiM project)

<p>Data consists of particle counts and sizes from 0.1 mm to 35 mm measured using a Brooke Ocean Technology Laser Optical Plankton Counter (LOPC). The LOPC was deployed on a CTD during a cross-shelf transect.</p>
