Growth rates and brood sizes for euphausiids and egg production rates for copepods collected from net casts in the North Pacific. The data were collected in support of the River Influence on Shelf Ecosystems (RISE) project from July 2004 to June 2006. The dataset is published by NOAA NCEI and accessed via NASA EarthData.
Use Cases
- Modeling zooplankton population growth in the North Pacific ecosystem (inferred from domain, verify after download)
- Analyzing relationships between copepod egg production and environmental factors (inferred from domain, verify after download)
- Studying the impact of river influence on shelf ecosystems (inferred from domain, verify after download)
Strengths
- Published by NOAA NCEI and accessed via NASA EarthData.
- Data collection spans a defined time range from 08 July 2004 to 13 June 2006.
- Focuses on specific zooplankton species (Euphausia pacifica, Thysanoessa spinifera, Calanus pacificus, Calanus marshallae).
Limitations
- Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
