  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">This dataset consists of analysed phytoplankton data from the years 2001-2017 
inclusive collected in UK waters from the SmartBuoy moorings at Celtic Deep, 
Dowsing, Gabbard/West Gabbard/WestGabbard2, Warp and Liverpool Bay using WMS 
and EDU automated water samplers. SmartBuoys consist of a 4 meter tall 
stainless steel frame with a fibreglass toroid for buoyancy. Instruments are 
attached at a nominal 1 meter depth to the frame. The water samplers collect 
into pre-spiked bags containing acidified Lugols Iodine on a pre-determined 
cycle over the course of a deployment. Following recovery these samples were 
analysed for a full community of phytoplankton species using the Utermohl 
method on high-power inverted microscopes. Phytoplankton cell counts are 
abundance values reported in Cells per Litre.</dc:description>
