Gulf Stream Warm-Core and Cold-Core Rings integrated Euphausiid abundance and zooplankton biomass from 1970s, 1980s Dataset Description: <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; These data are zooplankton collected and identified in the 1970s and 1980s as part of the cold-core and warm-core rings multidisciplinary programs and other related projects. They have been filtered and post-processed. Included are zooplankton biomass and euphausiid species abundance from 306 tows and related metadata taken on 34 research cruises in the Northwest Atlantic.&nbsp; The zooplankton biomass and euphausiid catch data and the associated environmental information were acquired using ring nets, net systems, and CTD/rosettes (Conductivity-Temperature-Depth) and Niskin bottles. Ring net, Bongo net and MOCNESS (Multiple Opening and Closing Nets and Environmental Sensing Systems)&nbsp; tows were quantified using flow meters calibrated to provide volumes of water filtered for each tow.</p>
<p><strong>A note about 'nd':</strong>&nbsp; Traditionally 'nd' is taken to mean 'no data'.&nbsp; Within that meaning, however, there is much variability.&nbsp; Here 'nd' could mean the more traditional 'we tried and got bad or no data'.&nbsp; It could mean 'these data are not considered relevant to the overall effort'.&nbsp; Finally, 'nd' could mean 'does not exist'.</p>
<p>This particular dataset is a re-display of the dataset <a href="http://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/553710" target="_blank">Integrated Euphausiid Abundance and Zooplankton Biomass</a> with the individual zooplankton under a general heading of 'species'.</p>

North Atlantic Dark Data: Rings
https://osprey.bco-dmo.org/project/529105
North Atlantic Dark Data: Rings
<p>Recent changes in NSF and other agency data policies (NSF11060, 2011; OSTP memo 2013) mandating timely and open access to data and information generated in the course of US funded research have resulted in a relatively rapid change in the culture of data sharing. Technological advances, policy changes, and increased awareness of the need for and benefits of well-curated data make it much more likely that recently generated research results will be made publicly available and in a timely manner. However, many scientific data were generated at a time when the technology for curation, storage, and dissemination were primitive or non-existent, and data sharing was not viewed as essential. In addition, many of the datasets were created by projects that make up the "long tail", smaller projects that form the bulk of the projects funded by agencies such as NSF (Heidorn, 2008). Data from these projects have in the past been poorly curated and thus less visible to other scientists, largely not available, and hence named "Dark Data" (Heidorn, 2008). But as Sinha et al. (2013) emphasize, without access to the types of historical observations or legacy data that make up the “dark data” in the “long tail” of science, emerging scientific challenges will not be addressable. "...making these data available on demand must be one of the highest priorities for any enterprise seeking to develop a cyberinfrastructure capable of promoting new ways to examine the earth system through time" (Sinha et al., 2013). The paucity of marine ecosystem data available to conduct cutting edge research and the critical need for the rescue of past data were also highlighted in a recent EarthCube End-User Domain Workshop Report "Articulating Cyberinfrastructure Needs of the Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics Community" (Kinkade et al., 2013). (from proposal to NSF, 2014)</p>
<p>There are significant dark datasets currently unavailable from multidisciplinary programs funded in the 1970’s and 1980’s such as those from the Northwest Atlantic cold-core and warm-core rings (The Ring Group, 1981; Joyce and Wiebe, 1983). The bulk of the data served here will be from the Rings projects.</p>
<p>The Cold-Core Rings (CCR) studies, [1972-1976] and Warm-Core Rings (WCR) Program, [1981-1982], were major research projects in the 1970s and 1980s. Large oceanic eddies or rings form when Gulf Stream waters first meander, then separate, forming a ring of Gulf Stream water around a core of cold Slope Water or a core of warm Sargasso Sea water. The CCRs move south or southwest from their point of origin into the Sargasso Sea and are initially 150-300 kilometers in diameter and 2500-3500 meters deep. They can persist as identifiable features for up to 2 years. WCRs move to the west/southwest in the Slope Water north of the Gulf Stream. They are 100 to 200 km in diameter, extend to at least 1500 m deep, and exist for a shorter period of time (usually less than a year) before gradually breaking up and rejoining the Gulf Stream. Both of these kinds of rings form about 5 to 8 times a year.</p>
<p>Rings are particularly interesting to the biologist because species living north and south of the Gulf Stream are distinctly different. Thus temperate species from the Slope Water or tropical-subtropical species from the Sargasso Sea are isolated during ring formation within their particular ring structure. Thus, a community of animals from one area is expatriated in the territory of another community of animals. As a ring decays, the water gradually takes on the physical and chemical characteristics of the surrounding non-ring water. Species outside the ring invade the ring habitat while those expatriated go to local extinction. This phenomenon provides for a large-scale natural ecological experiment that was the focus of the ring’s studies. </p>
<p>This project is digitizing data from 33 cruises to the Northwest Atlantic Ocean that are locked in notebooks and old digital file formats and preparing them for serving online in a publically available data repository (BCO-DMO).</p>
<p>Each dataset has been the subject of extensive data recovery efforts and the work is continuing.</p>

<p>Recovering these data started with the metadata: how, when and where the zooplankton data<br />
were collected. The metadata being sought are summarized in Table 1. As noted above, the data<br />
reside in notebooks , cruise reports, old computer files, and blue cover reports.<br />
However, the crucial element that makes the effort possible is the presence of the scientist who<br />
conducted the research for which the samples were collected and remembers many important<br />
details about where to look and what to look for. At one time some of the data were entered into<br />
a main-frame based database system, which has since disappeared (Hunt and Wiebe, [12]).</p>
<p>The search began systematically with the listing of all of the cruises that were participated on in<br />
the 1970s and 1980s, and then seeking out the information/data listing the zooplankton<br />
net tows. All of the data included cruise ids, station information, tow information, net<br />
descriptions rudimentary or otherwise, latitudes and longitudes, times and instrument depths,<br />
often including multiple sampling depths with the same net system.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Information was not often complete in the analysis notebooks and this<br />
required going back into the original cruise log books and crosschecking with other published<br />
papers.</p>
<p>For some cruises there was a personal log that had information to fill in the blanks.<br />
There were also errors. The most potentially damaging errors were those of station position.<br />
Degrees and decimal minutes were sometimes converted to decimal degrees by simply moving<br />
the decimal place and not first dividing the minutes by 60. In addition, sometimes a discrepancy<br />
was found between the same information in two different sources. Those errors had to be<br />
tracked down using as many other sources as possible.</p>

Bongo Net
Bongo Net
PI Supplied Instrument Name: Bongo Net Instrument Name: Bongo Net Instrument Short Name:Bongo Net Instrument Description: A Bongo Net consists of paired plankton nets, typically with a 60 cm diameter mouth opening and varying mesh sizes, 10 to 1000 micron. The Bongo Frame was designed by the National Marine Fisheries Service for use in the MARMAP program. It consists of two cylindrical collars connected with a yoke so that replicate samples are collected at the same time. Variations in models are designed for either vertical hauls (OI-2500 = NMFS Pairovet-Style, MARMAP Bongo, CalVET) or both oblique and vertical hauls (Aquatic Research). The OI-1200 has an opening and closing mechanism that allows discrete "known-depth" sampling. This model is large enough to filter water at the rate of 47.5 m3/minute when towing at a speed of two knots.

MOC1D
PI Supplied Instrument Name: MOC1D Instrument Name: MOCNESS-1D Instrument Short Name:MOC1D Instrument Description: The Double MOCNESS 1D carries 20 1m2 nets usually of mesh size 335micron and is designed to collect macrozooplankton.
This MOCNESS system uses the same underwater and shipboard electronic system for operation and data acquisition as other MOCNESS systems. The nets are opened and closed sequentially by commands transmitted from the surface deck unit through a single conducting cable to the underwater unit. The command circuit has a provision to permit commands to be sent to either the left of right set of nets when using the double MOCNESS-1D. - from Wiebe et al, 1985.

MOC1
PI Supplied Instrument Name: MOC1 Instrument Name: MOCNESS1 Instrument Short Name:MOC1 Instrument Description: The Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System or MOCNESS is a family of net systems based on the Tucker Trawl principle. The MOCNESS-1 carries nine 1-m2 nets usually of 335 micrometer mesh and is intended for use with the macrozooplankton. All nets are black to reduce contrast with the background. A motor/toggle release assembly is mounted on the top portion of the frame and stainless steel cables with swaged fittings are used to attach the net bar to the toggle release. A stepping motor in a pressure compensated case filled with oil turns the escapement crankshaft of the toggle release which sequentially releases the nets to an open then closed position on command from the surface. -- from the MOCNESS Operations Manual (1999 + 2003).
