Zooplankton data collected in the Arabian Sea from September 1994 to December 1995. The data were gathered using zooplankton net casts aboard the THOMAS G. THOMPSON vessel by the University of Miami's Rosentiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, supported by the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study.
Use Cases
- Model zooplankton population dynamics based on time-series observations
- Analyze marine ecosystem health in the Arabian Sea based on plankton data
- Study seasonal variations in plankton communities based on multi-year sampling
Strengths
- Data collected over a 15-month period from September 1994 to December 1995
- Sampling conducted in a specific geographic region, the Arabian Sea
- Data collection supported by a major scientific program, the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study
