Title: NODC Standard Product: International Ocean Atlas Volume 2 - Biological Atlas of the Arctic Seas 2000 - Plankton of the Barents and Kara Seas (NCEI Accession 0000382)
Abstract: This CD-ROM, NODC-146, contains physical and biological data for the region extending from the Barents Sea to the Kara Sea during 158 scientific cruises for the period 1913-1999. Maps with the temporal distribution of physical and biological variables of the Barents and Kara Seas are presented, with proposed quality control criteria for phytoplankton and zooplankton data. Multiple tables of Arctic Seas species are presented, containing ecological and geographic characteristics for each species, and images of live cells for the dominant phytoplankton species.

Phytoplankton, zooplankton, salinity, and temperature data were collected from multiple ships from January 1, 1913 to December 31, 1999. These data were collected using bottle and plankton net casts in the Barents Sea and Kara Sea. Data were submitted by the Sosnovets. Additional funding for digitizing historic data was provided by GODAR.
