Phytoplankton microscopy-based biovolumes and chlorophyll a concentrations based on FluoroProbe assessment in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Description: Supporting data for Kovalenko et al. Limnology and Oceanography Methods includes data from the Great Lakes Biological Monitoring Program by US EPA. Included here are the aggregated phytoplankton microscopy data for pelagic phytoplankton in the Laurentian Great Lakes and simultaneously sampled fluoroprobe data for 2013-2022 along with metadata explaining fields and units of measurement. Data are aggregated at the station-season-year level. Details on sampling protocols and data treatment are available in the published Standard Operating Procedures referenced in Kovalenko et al. (2025). File Format: .csv Geographical Area Covered: Laurentian Great Lakes (Lake Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie and Ontario), North America Temporal Coverage: 2013-2022 with biannual sampling in spring and summer, typically April and August Related Datasets: Additional detailed phytoplankton microscopy data and water quality data are available via Great Lakes Environmental Database from Central Data Exchange (https://cdx.epa.gov/). Raw fluoroprobe profile data are available from the EPA co-authors on reasonable request Discipline: Limnology, Phycology, Aquatic Ecology描述：本数据集为Kovalenko等人发表于《Limnology and Oceanography Methods》的研究配套支撑数据，包含美国环境保护署（US EPA）大湖生物监测计划的相关数据。本次公开的数据涵盖2013-2022年劳伦琴五大湖（Laurentian Great Lakes）中远洋浮游植物（pelagic phytoplankton）的聚合式显微观测数据，以及同期采集的荧光探针（fluoroprobe）观测数据，同时附带用于阐释各字段与测量单位的元数据（metadata）。数据按站点-季节-年份维度进行聚合。采样规范与数据处理的详细说明可参见Kovalenko等人（2025）引用的已发表标准作业程序（Standard Operating Procedures）。 文件格式：.csv 覆盖地理范围：北美洲劳伦琴五大湖（含苏必利尔湖、休伦湖、密歇根湖、伊利湖与安大略湖） 时间覆盖范围：2013年至2022年，每年春秋两季（通常为4月与8月）开展两次采样 关联数据集：更详细的浮游植物显微观测数据与水质数据可通过中央数据交换平台（Central Data Exchange）的大湖环境数据库获取，访问地址：https://cdx.epa.gov/。原始荧光探针剖面数据可根据合理请求向本文的美国环境保护署合作作者获取。 学科领域：湖沼学、藻类学、水生生态学
