IMOS National Reference Station (NRS) - Picoplankton flow cytometry, Australia (2008 - 2018)

These data sets include the picoplankton component analysed by flow cytometry from samples collected as part of the Integrated Marine Observing Systems (IMOS) National Mooring Network -National Reference Station (NRS) field sampling. Historical data collected as part of CSIRO Coastal Monitoring program is available for three of the National Reference Station sites: Maria Island Coastal Station Data 1944-2008, Port Hacking 100m Coastal Station Data 1953-2010 and Rottnest Island Coastal Station Data 1951-2009. Nine Sites are included in the IMOS NRS field sampling stations. Maria Island (TAS), Kangaroo Island (SA), Esperance (WA), Rottnest Island (WA), Ningaloo (WA), Darwin (NT), Yongala (QLD), North Stradbroke Island (QLD) and Port Hacking 100 (NSW). Sampling at these sites is conducted by several members of IMOS NRS Biogeochemical project. Sampling at the sites began between 29/9/2008 and 8/11/2010 and is currently ongoing for 7 sites. Sampling ceased at Ningaloo and Esperance (WA) sites in Aug/Sept 2013. Sampling is conducted monthly (Esperance and Ningaloo were 3 monthly) off small vessels. Depths sampled range from surface to 105 metres depending on the site. Depths are usually sampled at 10 metre intervals. Details including information on station locations, depths sampled and sample types collected are shown in the PDF link below extracted from the IMOS NRS NATIONAL REFERENCE STATIONS BIOGEOCHEMICAL OPERATIONS - A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK, Version 2.2 July 2012. A link to the full handbook is also provided which includes full details of the sampling regime and analyses.

本数据集包含通过流式细胞术（flow cytometry）分析的超微型浮游生物（picoplankton）组分数据，其样本采集自海洋综合观测系统（Integrated Marine Observing Systems, IMOS）国家锚定网络-国家参考站（National Reference Station, NRS）野外采样项目。另有3个国家参考站站点拥有源自澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, CSIRO）海岸监测项目的历史数据：玛利亚岛海岸站数据集（1944-2008年）、哈克宁港100米海岸站数据集（1953-2010年）以及罗特内斯特岛海岸站数据集（1951-2009年）。IMOS NRS野外采样站点共计9个，分别为：玛利亚岛（塔斯马尼亚州，TAS）、袋鼠岛（南澳大利亚州，SA）、埃斯佩兰斯（西澳大利亚州，WA）、罗特内斯特岛（西澳大利亚州，WA）、宁加洛（西澳大利亚州，WA）、达尔文（北领地，NT）、永加拉（昆士兰州，QLD）、北斯特拉德布罗克岛（昆士兰州，QLD）以及哈克宁港100站点（新南威尔士州，NSW）。上述站点的采样工作由IMOS NRS生物地球化学项目的多个团队负责实施。各站点的采样工作始于2008年9月29日至2010年11月8日之间，目前其中7个站点的采样仍在持续；西澳大利亚州的宁加洛与埃斯佩兰斯站点则于2013年8至9月停止了采样。采样通常以月度为周期开展（埃斯佩兰斯与宁加洛站点曾为每3个月一次），作业均通过小型船舶完成。采样水深范围依站点不同从表层至105米不等，且通常以10米为间隔进行分层采样。站点位置、采样水深以及样本类型等详细信息已整理至下述PDF文档中，该文档节选自2012年7月发布的《IMOS NRS国家参考站生物地球化学作业实用手册（版本2.2）》。此外还提供了完整手册的链接，其中包含采样方案与分析流程的全部细节。
