Description

Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus and picoeukaryotic phytoplankton global observations with ancillary environmental data (nitrate, phosphate and temperature) from 1987 to 2008.

The data in version 2 is in the correct order, but has the exact same data as version 1.

Methods & Sampling

We compiled in situ observations with ancillary environment data of Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus and picoeukaryotic phytoplankton abundances in the global ocean.

For a list of cruises and time series included please refer to supplementary table 1 of Visintini et al., (2021).
