These data include abundances of the diatom, Guinardia delicatula (= Rhizosolenia delicatula), on the Northeast U.S. Shelf from 2006 to 2022 as part of Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER). Abundances are determined from Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) deployed in-situ at ~4m depth at the nearshore Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO) from 2006 to 2022 and in underway mode (sampling near-surface seawater) on 24 NOAA EcoMon survey cruises from 2013 to 2022. Abundances based on both human and machine learning image classification are provided. Total G. delicatula abundances are divided into two categories based on whether G. delicatula exhibited current or recent infection by the protistan parasitoid, Cryothecomonas aestivalis. Four data tables are provided with abundance values separated by sampling scheme (time series or survey cruise) and image classification approach (human or machine learning).

Abundance and biomass of Hemiaulus on the Northeast U.S. Shelf from 2013 to 2023 determined by Imaging FlowCytobot.
These data include abundance and carbon concentration of the diatom Hemiaulus on the Northeast U.S. Shelf during 81 research cruises from 2013 to 2023 as part of Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER). Abundances are determined from Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) deployed in three different sampling schemes: underway mode (sampling near-surface seawater) on NOAA EcoMon, HAB Cyst, and AMAPPS broadscale survey cruises from 2013 to 2023; in underway mode (sampling near-surface seawater) on NES-LTER transect cruises from 2017 to 2023, and in discrete mode (CTD rosette discrete samples from depth) on NES-LTER transect cruises. Results are based on machine learning image classification, with one data table provided per sampling scheme (broadscale underway, transect underway, and transect discrete). Hemiaulus data are provided in abundance per milliliter and micrograms of carbon per liter.

This package provides a table of cruises to the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory for Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER). The majority of events are single day cruises, however, samples missing an MVCO Event Number were collected on multi-day NES-LTER transect cruises aboard larger research vessels. The same sampling protocols for CTD and bongo collection are used on both cruise types. Sampling frequency is approximately monthly, with NES-LTER sampling ongoing since 2017. Cruises involve collection of water column bottle samples, surface bucket samples, and zooplankton net tow samples, as well as ship-provided data. NES-LTER transect cruises will have more extensive underway and acoustic data which can be found by searching by cruise at https://www.rvdata.us/data. The event number for each cruise is provided, along with date, vessel name, cruise identifier where applicable, link to data location (for CTD, ADCP, and other underway data), and checklist of six data types.more » « less

These data represent the abundance, biovolume, and biomass of prokaryotic and eukaryotic picoplankton and nanoplankton sampled continuously underway during Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER) Transect cruises, ongoing since 2018. Samples were obtained with an Attune NxT Flow Cytometer sampling at approximately 2-min intervals from the underway science seawater. Cells were identified and enumerated from the flow cytometry data files based on their scattering, phycoerythrin (575 nm) and chlorophyll (680 nm) fluorescence signals.more » « less

In order to calculate net community production (NCP) rates on Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER) transect cruises, gas tracer data were collected with a continuous at-sea mass spectrometer. The ratio of O2/Ar, measured continuously from underway water, yields 8,000-15,000 rates of NCP per cruise. Discrete water samples (50 to 150 per cruise) were collected for triple oxygen isotope (TOI) analysis to estimate gross primary production (GPP) rates and ratios of NCP/GPP. Along-shelf (upstream-downstream) transects were conducted in addition to the main across-shelf transect. This data package provides two types of data tables for NES-LTER transect cruises beginning in 2018: a high-frequency continuous Equilibration Inlet Mass Spectrometer (EIMS) table, provided by year, and a low-frequency discrete triple oxygen isotope (TOI) table with all years combined. Rates calculated from these measurements are provided as separate packages, per year, in the EDI repository.more » « less
