Metadata: 2010 onwards Natural Resources Wales Skomer MCZ Zooplankton Time Series
Abstract:
Time series of consistent plankton samples taken using a Zooplankton net (200um mesh) from a single point on the North side of Skomer Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ). The net is hauled vertically from 40m and the methods used are designed to replicated the methods used by PML at the L4 plankton sampling station.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 11339 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2010 onwards Natural Resources Wales Skomer MCZ Zooplankton Time Series |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 39969fdea58f04c24ef84f24eb9b962f |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | DASSHSE00000061 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-03-10 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2024-01-16 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | continual |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Time series of consistent plankton samples taken using a Zooplankton net (200um mesh) from a single point on the North side of Skomer Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ). The net is hauled vertically from 40m and the methods used are designed to replicated the methods used by PML at the L4 plankton sampling station. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Samples collected using a zooplankton net (200µm mesh WP2 net (UNESCO 1968 â?? see data entry); area of net = 0.159m2). Hauled from 40m at a rate of 0.2m/sec. Assumes 95% effeciency. Final abundance is calculated as n/m3 but that comes from a count per sample then divided by an estimate of the sample volume, there is also a * 0.95 adjustment added. Formula used is depth of sample multiplied by 0.159 (diameter of net) multiplied by 0.95. This record is the series metadata record, for download links please see the individual datasets that make up the series. |
