Discrete Flow Cytometry of Underway Samples from Gradients 5 (2023) Using a BD Influx Cell Sorter

The dataset consists of BD Influx-based analysis of phytoplankton populations from discrete flow cytometry data collected underway during the Gradients 2023 (Gradients 5/TN412) oceanographic research cruise in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. The data consists of cell abundance, cell size (equivalent spherical diameter), carbon quota, and carbon biomass for picophytoplankton populations, namely the cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, and small eukaryotic phytoplankton (<5 µm ESD). Time is in UTC format, latitude and longitude are in decimal degrees, and depth is in meters.
