The Dataset's Variables and Attributes

Row Type Variable Name Attribute Name Data Type Value
attribute NC_GLOBAL cdm_data_type String Point
attribute NC_GLOBAL Conventions String COARDS, CF-1.10, ACDD-1.3

attribute NC_GLOBAL sourceUrl String (source database)
attribute NC_GLOBAL standard_name_vocabulary String CF Standard Name Table v79
attribute NC_GLOBAL subsetVariables String cruise_key, site_key
attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String Holoplankton abundance and carbon biomass by 33 higher taxa (copepods to family, plus amphipods, chaetognaths, salps, pyrosomes, pteropods, ostracods, foraminifera, radiolaria and more) from CalCOFI net tows, 1951-2021, enumerated by microscopy (Ohman Lab / SIO Pelagic Invertebrate Collection). One row per (sample, taxon, measurement_type); unpooled tows are station-resolved, pooled samples are per-cruise regional composites. Raw (uncorrected) abundance per 1000 m3 and per m2, plus biomass mg C/m2. One row per sampling event, with event-level effort widened into its own columns. Use this for effort and station counting — summing effort over the observation table double-counts it. Source: CalCOFI integrated database release v2026.08.08.
