SmartBuoy Marine Observational Network - UK Waters Phytoplankton Data 2001-2017

This dataset consists of analysed phytoplankton data from the years 2001-2017
inclusive collected in UK waters from the SmartBuoy moorings at Celtic Deep,
Dowsing, Gabbard/West Gabbard/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. 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.

本数据集包含了2001年至2017年（含）期间在英国水域中，利用智能浮标（SmartBuoy）系泊于凯尔特深海、道辛、加巴德/西加巴德/西加巴德2、沃普和利物浦湾，采用WMS和EDU自动水样采集器收集的浮游植物分析数据。智能浮标由一个4米高的不锈钢框架和一个用于浮力的玻璃纤维环构成。仪器固定在框架的标称1米深度处。水样采集器按照预定的周期，将含有酸化卢戈碘的预刺孔袋中的水样收集起来。在部署完成后，这些样品使用Utermohl方法在高倍倒置显微镜上进行分析，以确定浮游植物的全部物种群落。浮游植物细胞计数以每升细胞数（Cells per Litre）的丰度值报告。
