Measurements of prokaryote production and abundance are also included. Environmental variables include dissolved oxygen, temperature, phytoplankton chlorophyll, inorganic nutrients and dissolved and particulate carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. The data are available in ASCII, Excel and Ocean Data View formats, with error values where available. Metadata include details of the methods used such as volume sampled, incubation time and temperature, equations used to derive oxygen consumption at in situ temperature and details of any filtration step. Data providers (with ORCID), links to the data centre where the original data are held and publications describing the data and methods are also included. The aim is for the dataset to be as easy to use as possible by field going scientists and modellers investigating the flux of carbon from the surface to the deep ocean, with a particular focus on the mesopelagic zone between 200 and 1000m.

Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. true This dataset was created by scientists from the MicroRESPIRE project following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for long-term archive and data publication in the BODC Published Data Library
