PROBES Meso-Zooplankton from 1980 and 1981
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/102.279

Summary
This data set contains PROBES MOCNESS Zooplankton data report files. During
the PROBES program, Sharon Smith and co-workers conducted MOCNESS tows along
the PROBES lines in the Southeastern Bering Sea. The results of these cruises
were stored as data reports, and as part of planned seabird studies Ken Coyle
had the data sets from 1980 and 1981 digitized. The mesh of the net used to
collect these data was 149 micrometers and the abundance numbers are reported
in cubic meters. This data set is part of the Bering Sea Ecosystem
Study-Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (BEST-BSIERP).
BEST-BSIERP together are the Bering Sea project.
