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2001年至2017年（含首尾年份）英国海域的浮游植物分析数据，采集自凯尔特深水区、道辛、加巴德/西加巴德/WestGabbard2、沃普及利物浦湾的SmartBuoy（智能浮标）锚泊站点，采用WMS与EDU自动水质采样器完成采样。SmartBuoy（智能浮标）主体为4米高的不锈钢框架，搭配玻璃钢环形浮体提供浮力，仪器以标称1米水深安装于框架之上。自动水质采样器将按照预设周期，将水样收集至预先添加酸化卢戈氏碘液（Lugols Iodine）的储样袋中，直至单次布放任务结束。样品回收后，采用高倍倒置显微镜结合乌特莫尔法（Utermohl）对浮游植物全群落物种进行分析。浮游植物细胞计数以每升细胞数（Cells per Litre）为单位报告丰度值。
