Description

This dataset contains microzooplankton abundance and biomass, and UV radiation experiments data from CTD bottle samples collected during the AMT13 cruise in the Atlantic between the UK and the Falklands, in September-October 2003. The data were collected by scientists from the Plymouth Marine Laboratory and contribute to the AMT project.
