ZooScan zooplankton image data, Walton Smith 3, WS3, NRDA plankton survey research cruise in the Gulf of Mexico, R/V F.G. Walton Smith WS1017, 2010-09-26 to 2010-10-01

A series of Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) cruises were conducted in 2010 and 2011 to evaluate the distribution and densities of ichthyoplankton and other zooplankton in Gulf of Mexico waters potentially affected by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (DWHOS) and in surrounding areas. This dataset includes ZooSCAN image data of zooplankton collected during one of these cruises (Walton Smith 3, WS1017) 2010-09-26 to 2010-10-01. The image files are stored as tif files (background scans, ZooSCAN scans), and jpeg files (sorted and unsorted vignettes). Additional files required for ZooSCAN processing are also included. The density data for Walton Smith Cruise 3 are available in related dataset R6.x815.000:0020 (doi 10.7266/n7-p2np-j983).
