Zooplankton abundance and biomass observations obtained from the QuadNet, as analyzed by traditional microscopy, during NGA LTER seasonal cruises in the Northern Gulf of Alaska, 2018-2021

This dataset presents the distribution, abundance and biomass of zooplankton obtained from a QuadNet, using traditional microscopy, during the seasonal NGA-LTER research cruises conducted in the Gulf of Alaska in 2018-2021 Data are presented as csvs files, with one file for each research cruise. These data are part of the Northern Gulf of Alaska Long Term Ecological Research (NGA LTER) program. The LTER program is a National Science Foundation–funded network of 28 sites nationwide that focus on the influence of long-term and large-scale phenomenon on ecosystems. Additional funding for sampling is provided by the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS), and the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council (EVOS) via the Gulf Watch Alaska program.本数据集收录了2018-2021年于阿拉斯加湾开展的季节性NGA-LTER（北阿拉斯加湾长期生态研究，Northern Gulf of Alaska Long Term Ecological Research）科考航次中，采用传统显微镜镜检法、借助QuadNet采样网采集的浮游动物分布、丰度与生物量数据。数据集以CSV格式存储，每个科考航次对应一个独立数据文件。本数据集隶属于北阿拉斯加湾长期生态研究（NGA LTER）计划。LTER计划是由美国国家科学基金会资助的全国性生态研究网络，在全美范围内设有28个观测站点，聚焦长期及大尺度过程对生态系统的影响。本采样工作的额外资助由北太平洋研究委员会（NPRB）、阿拉斯加海洋观测系统（AOOS）以及埃克森·瓦尔迪兹溢油事故受托人委员会（EVOS）通过‘阿拉斯加海湾观察’项目提供。
