Abstract:
Excel file containing CPR data for area 40N to 66N, -71W to 11E, 1958 to 2021, sample level data (each sample being 1 row, equating to approx. 10 nautical miles of tow, 3m3 of filtered seawater), grouped into Standard CPR Areas, for Thaliacea, Salpidae, Doliolidae and Cnidaria tissue. For each taxa, values indicate abundance (according to standard CPR methodology, see Richardson et al. 2006, Prog in Oceanog 68. 27-74), values of 0.001 indicate presence only, zero values are absence of taxon. The excel file consists of samples in rows, with the following information in columns - A: Standard Area B: sample id C:midpoint of sample latitude in decimal degrees D:midpoint of sample longitude in decimal degrees E:midpoint of sample local date and time F:sample year G: sample month H-K: taxa abundance. NOTE due to a change in methodology (effort), Cnidaria should be considered as two separate time series, 1958 to 2007, 2007 to 2021.
