Data for LOL2-22-0120: Processed BGC-Argo Float Profiles for Phytoplankton Phenology

Processed BGC-Argo float profiles used to calculate phytoplankton phenology from chlorophyll, phytoplankton carbon, and nitrate. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-07-22. It likely contains time-series measurements from autonomous ocean floats.

Use Cases

• Modeling phytoplankton phenology based on chlorophyll concentration data.
• Analyzing relationships between phytoplankton carbon and nitrate levels in ocean profiles.
• Studying temporal changes in ocean biogeochemistry using time-series data from Argo floats.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from BGC-Argo floats, a global ocean observation network.
• Focuses on key biogeochemical variables: chlorophyll, phytoplankton carbon, and nitrate.
• Last updated on 2026-07-22, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
