Description
Summary:<p>This dataset was derived from the <a href=\"http://osprey.bco-dmo.org/dataset.cfm?id=10606&amp;flag=view\" target=\"_blank\">VPR_ashjian_orig_SO</a> dataset. In the 'nonzero' dataset, values of both 0 and nd (no data) in the abund_L column (taxon abundance) have been removed in order to allow the dataset to be mapped.</p> <h3>Video Plankton Recorder Data</h3> <p>These data are from images of plankton and particles collected using the Video Plankton Recorder (VPR), a camera system mounted on the <u>BIO </u>-Optical <u>M</u>ulti-frequency <u>A</u>coustical and <u>P</u>hysical <u>E</u>nvironmental <u>R</u>ecorder (BIOMAPER II)<sup>1</sup> data acquisition system.</p> <p>BIOMAPERII is a towed package consisting of a number of independent observational components: a multi-frequency sonar (Acoustics) system, a video plankton recorder (VPR) system, and an environmental sensor system (ESS).&nbsp;</p> <p>Companion object:&nbsp; <a href=\"http://globec.whoi.edu/jg/serv/globec/soglobec/biomaperII.brev0%7Bdir=globec.whoi.edu/jg/dir/globec/soglobec/,info=globec.whoi.edu/jg/info/globec/soglobec/biomaperII%7D\">biomaperII</a>.<br /> ¹Wiebe, P.H., et al., 2002, BIOMAPER-II: An Integrated Instrument Platform for Coupled Biological and Physical Measurements in Coastal and Oceanic Regimes.
