Copepod species abundances from MOCNESS tows from R/V Thomas G. Thompson and R/V Malcolm Baldridge cruises in the Arabian Sea from 1994-1995 (Arabian Sea project, Arabian Sea Diapausing Copepods project)

<p>Copepods were identified, staged, and enumerated several JGOFS and GLOBEC cruises in the Arabian Sea between 1994 and 1995.</p>
