attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	Picophytoplankton (Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, picoeukaryotes) and heterotrophic bacteria abundances analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM) from CCE-CalCOFI Augmented cruises in the California Current System, 2004-2023 (ongoing). Seawater collected from Niskin bottles at 3-8 depths per station; cells fixed shipboard with paraformaldehyde, stained with a DNA-specific dye, and enumerated on an Altra flow cytometer with dual argon-ion lasers. One row per observation: a measurement of one quantity at one event, taxon and depth. `measurement_type` names the quantity and `measurement_value` holds it, so filter on measurement_type.
