During the project Microsnow, field sampling was conducted at station Svartnes, Balsfjorden, Norway in June 2017 and June 2018. The abundance of the 1) small harpacticoid copepod Microsetella norvegica (individuals per litre), 2) krill fecal pellets (pellet per litre), and 3) marine snow aggregates (aggregate per litre) was detected in the water column using a video plankton recorder (VPR). The VPR was deployed in a tow-jo manner between the surface and ca. 180 m depth. In 2017, 5 profiles were analysed. In 2018, 12 profiles were analysed. These data are made available per downcast (one nc.file per downcast): 1) 2017_vpr1 - VPR downcast 19 June 2017, 18:50 (UTC), 2) 2017_vpr2 - VPR downcast 20 June 2017, 07:26 (UTC), 3) 2017_vpr3 - VPR downcast 20 June 2017, 15:02 (UTC), 4) 2017_vpr5 - VPR downcast 21 June 2017, 03:02 (UTC), 5) 2017_vpr6 - VPR downcast 21 June 2017, 09:15 (UTC), 6) 2018_vpr4_2 - VPR downcast 12 June 2018, 17:05 (UTC), 7) 2018_vpr5_2 - VPR downcast 12 June 2018, 19:10 (UTC), 8) 2018_vpr6_2 - ... : 17 application/x-netcdf, totaling ...... 337.21 KB 19 text/plain, totaling ...... 3.49 KB ...
