Phytoplankton cell count, temperature and salinity data from Texas coastal waters, 1996-2002 (NODC Accession 0000669)

This data set was created to accommodate a wide range of data on the phytoplankton Karenia brevis. It is designed to efficiently capture core information, yet have the capacity to expand and capture related sampling information if it is available. The data may be useful for studying red tide bloom events along the Texas coastline. The minimum parameters required in order for a sample record to be entered into the database are a K. brevis count (in cells per liter), the date when the water sample was collected, a description of where the water sample was taken, and the salinity and water temperature at this point.本数据集旨在收录与浮游植物短凯伦藻（Karenia brevis）相关的各类数据，既能够高效捕获核心信息，又具备拓展能力，可在相关数据可用时收录补充采样信息。本数据集可用于研究德克萨斯州沿岸的赤潮水华事件。 若需将采样记录录入本数据库，需包含以下最小参数：短凯伦藻（K. brevis）细胞密度（单位：细胞/升）、水样采集日期、水样采集地点描述，以及采样点的盐度与水温。
