Description:

The Coastal & Oceanic Plankton Ecology, Production & Observation Database (COPEPOD) is an online, global-coverage database of zooplankton and phytoplankton abundance, biomass, and composition data. COPEPOD provides “raw” plankton data and integrated data products through its plankton-tailored online interface. Through a variety of access levels and packaging options, COPEPOD preserves the original identities of its data pieces while also offering regional and global compilations. While new COPEPOD data are made available online each month, this document summarizes the content of the database as of December 2014. Hereafter known as COPEPOD-2014, the processing methods presented in this document reflect the current configuration and layout of the active COPEPOD data system.
