Zooplankton data were collected using net casts from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER in the Lower Cook Inlet from 25 May 1976 to 27 May 1976. The Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) collected the data with support from the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). The dataset likely contains counts or measurements of zooplankton species from a specific marine region.
Use Cases
- Analyze zooplankton species distribution based on net cast collection method
- Study marine ecosystem health in Lower Cook Inlet based on plankton data
- Assess environmental conditions for the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) project
- Model historical zooplankton abundance based on data from a specific three-day period
Strengths
- Data collected by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL)
- Specific temporal coverage from 25 May 1976 to 27 May 1976
- Geographic focus on Lower Cook Inlet
Limitations
- Last updated 1976-05-27 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
