Plankton abundance data collected at the Western Channel Observatory L4 station, formatted for use in run.mar. The dataset was prepared for MAR analysis with a call to prepare.data(data=L4.AllDates, increment="month", fill.gap=0, replace.0s="rand.half", log=T, z.method="deseason")
This dataset is a plankton abundance time-series collected at the Western Channel Observatory L4 station. It contains zooplankton abundances in #/m^3, phytoplankton abundances in #/ml, and sea surface temperature in degrees C. Sampling dates for zooplankton, phytoplankton, and surface temperature values are not always aligned, resulting in NA values within the time-series.
