Environmental context of all samples from the Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013), about mesoscale features

The Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013) sampled the world oceans on board a 36 m long schooner, collecting environmental data and organisms from viruses to planktonic metazoans for later analyses using modern sequencing and state-of-the-art imaging technologies. Tara Oceans Data are particularly suited to study the genetic, morphological and functional diversity of plankton. The present data set provides environmental context to all samples from the Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013), about mesoscale features related to the sampling date, time and location. Includes calculated averages of mesaurements made concurrently at the sampling location and depth, and calculated averages from climatologies (AMODIS, VGPM) and satellite products.

塔拉海洋科考航次（2009-2013年）依托一艘36米长的纵帆船开展全球海洋采样工作，收集了从病毒到浮游后生动物的各类生物样本与环境数据，以供后续借助现代测序技术与顶尖成像技术开展分析研究。塔拉海洋数据集尤其适用于探究浮游生物的遗传、形态与功能多样性。本数据集为塔拉海洋科考航次（2009-2013年）的全部采样样本提供环境背景支撑，涵盖与采样日期、时间及采样点位相关的中尺度海洋特征。数据集包含采样点位与深度下同步获取的测量值的计算平均值，以及来自气候数据集（AMODIS、VGPM）与卫星遥感产品的计算平均值。
