Dataset-specific description
We attached an Optical Plankton Counter (see Zhou and Tande, 2002) to the OSU towed body (SeaSoar) to make 3-dimensional mesoscale surveys(in a 100-km-wide coastal region from Newport, Oregon to CrescentCity, California) aimed at determining the distribution andproductivity of zooplankton in relation to their physical environment.
