Abstract:
Excel file containing CPR data from 2003 to 2020 for the Celtic Sea area. File contains taxa list (with information on aphia id, CPR name, WORMS name, and classifications of large zoo, small zoo, copepod, diatoms and dinoflagellates). Each group is included as a separate excel sheet. Each sheet contains sample level data (each sample being 1 row, equating to approx. 10 nautical miles of tow, 3m3 of filtered seawater), for specified taxa. For each taxa, NaN values in cells indicate taxon was not counted (ie not looked for), values indicate abundance (according to standard CPR methodology, see Richardson et al. 2006, Prog in Oceanog 68. 27-74), values of 0.0000000001 indicate presence only, zero values are absence of taxon. The excel file consists of samples in rows, with the following information in columns - A: sample id B:midpoint of sample latitude in decimal degrees C:midpoint of sample longitude in decimal degrees D:midpoint of sample local date and time E:sample year F: sample month G-:taxa.
