From February to October 1963, this dataset contains records of zooplankton species identities and other oceanographic data collected from the RV COMODORO LASERRE and other platforms in the Atlantic Ocean's TOGA area. It is published by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) under accession number 7000171. The data likely contains time-series observations related to marine biological and physical properties.
Use Cases
- Analyzing historical zooplankton community composition in the Atlantic (inferred from domain, verify after download)
- Correlating species presence with other oceanographic variables from the same period (inferred from domain, verify after download)
- Establishing baseline ecological data for climate change studies (inferred from domain, verify after download)
Strengths
- Published by the authoritative NOAA NCEI organization.
- Has a specific temporal coverage from 1963-02-01 to 1963-10-01.
- Associated with a specific research vessel and geographic area (TOGA Area - Atlantic).
Limitations
- Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 1963-10-01 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
