| attribute | NC_GLOBAL | summary | String | Zooplankton net-tow sample registry from the SIO Pelagic Invertebrate Collection, scoped to CalCOFI-program expeditions. Position, time, depth, and gear metadata per tow. Includes the historical grid (1950s-80s inshore, Gulf of California and Baja lines), not just the modern pattern. Biovolume measurements are not in the source file and are pending from the provider (see Questions for Data Providers). 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.
