The data described here resulted from benthic photo-quadrat surveys conducted along transects at stratified random sites across American Samoa in 2023 as a part of Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) surveys for corals and fish. Benthic habitat imagery was quantitatively analyzed using the web-based annotation tool CoralNet (Beijbom et al. 2016).

This NCEI accession contains discrete profile measurements of total alkalinity, pH on total scale, water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen concentration, nutrients and other chemical and hydrographic parameters obtained during the R/V Sarmiento de Gamboa RADPROF 2014 cruise (EXPOCODE 29AH20140804) in the North East Atlantic Ocean from 2014-08-04 to 2014-08-24. The RADPROF project is an annual routine monitoring activity associated with the Finisterre deep section, RADPROF, which contributes to the IEO oceanography observation system, IEOOS since 2003.

The data set of water temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen profiles was taken by CTD during the Pacific Oceanographic Cruise XXXV / ERFEN XXXIII, conducted between August 27th and September 15th, 2001 by the Pacific Pollution Control Center (CCCP) of the General Maritime Directorate (DIMAR), aboard the research vessel ARC Providencia, covering 41 stations located throughout the Colombian Pacific basin, with the purpose of determine the behavior of the oceanographic and biological conditions in order to study the oceanographic and hydrobiological processes in this area.

The data set of water temperature, and salinity CTD profiles was obtained during the Pacific Oceanographic Cruise XXXVIII / VI Joint Regional Oceanographic Research Cruise in the Southeast Pacific, conducted between September 1-st and 21-th, 2003 by the Pacific Pollution Control Center (CCCP) of the General Maritime Directorate (DIMAR), aboard the research vessel ARC Malpelo, covering 44 stations located throughout the Colombian Pacific basin, with the objective to determine the behavior of physical, chemical and biological parameters of the ocean. Data are in CSV format.

NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) samples and studies the ecosystem of the lower food web of the Laurentian Great Lakes. This collection contains zooplankton biomass and density data at three stations during the open water season in Lake Michigan and one station in Muskegon Lake in 2021. Note, no samples were collected in Lake Michigan in 2020 due to COVID-19. Zooplankton density is given in the number of organisms per cubic meter and biomass is given in milligrams per cubic meter. File formats included in this data package are .csv and jpg.

As part of the Atlantic Marine Assessment Program for Protected Species (AMAPPS), the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) conducted a shipboard survey of the U.S. waters of the Western North Atlantic (WNA) from approximately the 200m isobath out to the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The survey was conducted between February 4 and April 27, 2023 onboard the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter, for a total of 44 days at sea split into three survey legs. Multiple days were lost due to mechanical problems with the ship (Jan 23 to Feb 2) and unfavorable weather conditions (April 8 to 10).

The data set of water temperature, and salinity profiles taken by CTD during the Pacific Oceanographic Cruise XLI / Regional Study of the El Niño Event ERFEN XXXIX, conducted between September 1-st and 24-th, 2005 by the Pacific Pollution Control Center (CCCP) of the General Maritime Directorate (DIMAR), aboard the research vessel ARC Providencia, covering 40 stations located throughout the Colombian Pacific basin, with the objective to analyze the spatiotemporal behavior of meteorological, oceanographic, chemical and biological parameters in situ. Data are in CSV format.
