Abstract:
Data from: Pelagic Ecosystem Characteristics Across the Atlantic Water Boundary Current From Rijpfjorden, Svalbard, to the Arctic Ocean During Summer (2010–2014)
The dataset contains six sub-datasets: CTD, Biogeochemistry, Carbonate, Phytoplankton abundance, Phytoplankton biomass, Zooplankton abundance. The datasets are published in Hop et al. 2019 “Pelagic Ecosystem Characteristics across the Atlantic Water Boundary Current from Rijpfjorden, Svalbard, to the Arctic Ocean During Summer (2010-2014)”.
Quality
The dataset is compiled in 8 files:
CTD data.csv (to be included)
Biogeochemistry data.csv contains metadata and biogeochemistry data. Columns: id = row name; station= station name; date = date in dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm format; longitude = longitude as decimal degrees (WGS84); latitude = latitude as decimal degrees (WGS84); bottom_depth=bottom depth in meters; distance= distance from inner part of the part in km; depth=sampling depth in m; NOx =Nitrate (NO3)+ Nitrite (NO2) in mmol m-3 ; PO4= Phosphate (PO4) in mmol m-3; Si(OH)4=Silicate in mmol m-3; chlorophyll_a= chlorophyll a in mg m-3 & phaeophytin= phaeophytin in mg m-3
Carbonate data.csv (to be included)
Phytoplankton abundance data.csv contains abundance data of major protist taxa in cells m-3. Metadata: station=station name; year=year; depth=sampling depth; distance= distance from inner part of the part of the fjord in km Major protist taxa: Diatoms; Dinoflagellates; Ciliate; Prymnesiophytes; Flagellates indet.; Other (in cells m-3)
Phytoplankton biomass data.csv contains biomass data of major protist taxa in mg m-3. Metadata: station=station name; year=year; depth=sampling depth; distance= distance from inner part of the part of the fjord in km Major protist taxa: Diatoms; Dinoflagellates; Ciliate; Prymnesiophytes; Flagellates indet.; Other (in cells m-3)
Zooplankton data.csv contains zooplankton abundance data in individuals per cubic meter. The columns of the dataset consist of species and stage codes specified in the species metadata, while the rows consist of samples indicate in the sample metadata.
Zooplankton metadata.csv contains row metadata for zooplankton abundance. Columns: id = row name in zooplankton abundance data; expedition = expedition/cruise name; station = station name; sample_name = internal sample name for backwards compatibility; longitude = longitude as decimal degrees (WGS84); latitude = latitude as decimal degrees (WGS84); date = date in dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm format; bottom_depth=bottom depth in meters; from = depth in meters where the MultiNet opened ; to = depth in meters where the MultiNet closed; salinity = salinity in PSU; temperature= temperature in °C; distance= distance from inner part of the part in km & comment = specific comments concerning the sample
Zooplankton species list.csv contains column metadata for zooplankton abundance. Columns: id = column name in zooplankton abundance data; species = scientific taxa name; stage = life stage; length = length group; origin = the assumed origin of species (Atlantic, Arctic, Both or Unknown); biomass_conv = abundance to biomass conversion factor, see Hop et al. 2019; phylum, class & order= taxonomic rank according to WoRMS.
