One hundred and fifty samples from twenty-nine stations were collected from the upper 150 m of the water column. Coccospheres per liter were counted using a scanning electronmicroscope (SEM). The different extant coccolithophore taxa numbers and assemblage distribution in relation to the frontal dynamics of the SO provide valuable information for potential future paleoceanographic reconstructions.}, type={data set}, publisher={PANGAEA} }
