Zooplankton abundance observations collected from the 500 um Bongo Net, as analyzed by Zooscan, from research cruises for the Northern Gulf of Alaska LTER site, 2018-2019

This dataset presents the distribution and abundance of zooplankton collected from the Bongo, net during the NGA-LTER research cruises conducted in the Gulf of Alaska in 2018-2019. Abundance was obtained to the lowest possible taxonomic heirarchy using ZOOSCAN automated software. 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.

本数据集呈现了2018-2019年于阿拉斯加湾开展的NGA-LTER研究航次中，使用邦戈网（Bongo net）采集的浮游动物分布与丰度数据。研究依托ZOOSCAN自动化软件，将丰度数据鉴定至尽可能精细的分类层级。本数据集隶属于阿拉斯加湾北部长期生态研究（NGA LTER）计划。LTER计划是由美国国家科学基金会资助的全国性科研网络，涵盖28个观测站点，聚焦长期与大尺度现象对生态系统的影响。本采样工作额外获得了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信托委员会（EVOS）通过阿拉斯加海湾观察计划提供的经费支持。
