SmartBuoy Marine Observational Network - UK Waters Phytoplankton Data 2018-2019

This dataset consists of analysed phytoplankton data from the years 2018-2019
inclusive collected in UK waters from the SmartBuoy moorings at Dowsing,
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. As of the beginning of this data set water samples have been taken
using a CTD rosette on mooring turnarounds in case of buoy failure, reducing
the issue of data gaps 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2018至2019年（含）期间，从英国水域中收集的经分析的海藻浮游生物数据，数据采集地点包括Dowsing、WestGabbard2、Warp和利物浦湾的SmartBuoy浮标锚地。数据采集设备为WMS和EDU自动化水质采样器。SmartBuoy由4米高的不锈钢框架和用于浮力的玻璃纤维环构成。仪器安装于框架标准深度1米处。水质采样器按照预定周期，将含有酸化卢戈碘的预标记袋中的水样收集。在浮标故障的情况下，于锚地轮换期间使用CTD罗盘进行水样采集，以减少数据缺失问题。数据恢复后，这些水样经过使用高倍倒置显微镜进行Utermohl方法的全面分析，以确定浮游生物物种的全社群结构。浮游生物细胞计数以每升细胞数的形式报告其丰度值。
