# version December 8, 1994 # Hans Dam # Mesozooplankton grazing data, Dam file as of March 16, 94 # Thomas Thompson cruise TT008 # # The data below represent weight-specific grazing rates of # mesozooplankton as a function of day of year, size fractions # of animals and depth interval for the time-series cruise TT008 of # the EqPac study. All experiments were carried out at equator. # # Grazing was measured with the gut fluorescence technique. Details # are given in the EqPac protocols. Mean GCRC (gut clearance rate constant) # of this cruise (0.031 min-1) was used. # # The grazing values are the means of 2-5 pseudoreplicates from each # tow. If you want all of the pseudoreplicate values, contact Hans Dam. # # yrday = day of year # event = event number from event log, composite of month/day/time, reported # as MMDDHHMM, local Hawaii time # Note: The event numbers for plankton tows are not unique for each # individual tow, but represent a series of tows taken at a given # location and time. # sta = station number from event log # sizefrac = size fraction/interval of organisms analysed, units = mm # depth_r = depth range/interval sampled, units = meters # graze_rate = grazing rate, units = mg pig/(mg body carbon hour) # ========================= event sta ------------------------- 03230725 5 03232130 5 03250614 5 03251901 5 03270600 5 03271800 5 03290655 5 03291810 5 03310600 5 03311800 5 04020554 5 04021802 5 04040552 5 04041930 5 04060643 5 04061823 5
