| Summary: | Legacy scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of plankton samples that were taken during Atlantic Meridional Transect cruise 14 (AMT 14), which sailed between the Faulkland Islands and the UK in 2004 (for more information see https://www.amt-uk.org/Cruises/AMT14 and the link to the cruise report therein). The SEM methodology applied to generate these images is described in Poulton et al. (2017) Coccolithophore ecology in the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Ocean: New perspectives from the Atlantic meridional transect (AMT) programme. Prog. Oceanogr. 158 , 150–170 and follows Charalampopoulou et al. (2011) Irradiance and pH affect coccolithophore community composition on a transect between the North Sea and the Arctic Ocean. Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. 431 , 25–43. The 16 samples currently in this entry are from nine CTD stations of AMT14. There is a unique, compressed (.zip) file of SEM images for each sample (CTD station and water depth) with the following naming scheme: AMT14_CTD#_A_WD, where CTD# denotes CTD number (e.g. CTD6), A denotes percentage of surface irradience level (e.g. 55 is 55% of surface irradience), and WD is water depth (m) of sample. Each compressed sample folder contains ca. 600-700 SEM images in TIF file format. The name of each image relates to the date (day_month_image number) the image was taken on.
