COMMENTS:

These data were digitized on site at the Ocean Climate Laboratory 
from the papers:

Thibault, Delphine, Erica J.H. Head, and Patricia A. Wheeler. 1999.
 Mesozooplankton in the Arctic Ocean in summer. Deep-Sea Res. I, 46: 1391-1415.

Gosselin, Michel, Maurice Levasseur, Patricia A. Wheeler, Rita A. Horner,
 and Beatrice C. Booth. 1997. New measurements of phytoplankton and 
ice algal production in the Arctic Ocean. Deep-Sea Res. II, 44(8): 1623-1644.

This data was collected through a Canada/USA joint expediton (AOS'94) 
aboard the USCGC Polar Sea from July 26, 1994 through August 26, 1994.  
The cruise went across the Arctic Ocean running from Nome, Alaska, to
Reykjavik, Iceland.  The transect started on the continental shelf of the
Chukchi Sea, crossed the Chukchi Abyssal Plain, the Arlis Plateau, the
Mendeleyev Ridge, the Makarove Basin, the Lomonosov Ridge, the
Amundsen Basin, and ended in the deep Nansen Basin.  Eighteen stations
were sampled for zooplankton along this transect.
