Abstract:
The Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013) was a global survey of ocean ecosystems aboard the Sailing Vessel Tara. It carried out extensive measurements of evironmental conditions and collected plankton (viruses, bacteria, protists and metazoans) for later analysis using modern sequencing and state-of-the-art imaging technologies. Tara Oceans Data are particularly suited to study the genetic, morphological and functional diversity of plankton. The present data publication provides raw validated data files containing measurements from the Continuous Surface Sampling System [CSSS]. Water was pumped at the front of the vessel from ~2m depth, then de-bubbled and circulated to a WETLabs AC-S spectrophotometer and a WETLabs chlorophyll fluorometer. Systems maintenance (instrument cleaning, flushing) was done approximately once a week and in port between successive legs. All data were stamped with a GPS.
