Gelatinous zooplankton observations during four research cruises (SKQ202204S, MGL2207, SKQ202303S, SR2317) carried out in the Northern California Current from March 2022 to August 2023
Abstract: 
These data include a list of gelatinous zooplankton species observed during four 14-day research cruises carried out in the Northern California Current from March 2022 to August 2023. Plankton samples were collected with a coupled MOCNESS system that was towed to 100 m (or 5 m off the bottom in stations with <100 m depth). Samples were subsequently poured into sorting tray and picked for gelatinous taxa. This data set represents the first comprehensive list of gelatinous taxa from this region and includes ctenophores, cnidarians and pelagic tunicates, taxa that are largely omitted from studies in the NCC.
