Summary
Abstract: This monthly climatology data set contains a series of land surface parameters simulated from the Mosaic land-surface model (LSM) for Phase 2 of the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2). The data are in 1/8th degree grid spacing. The temporal resolution is monthly, ranging from January to December. The NLDAS-2 monthly climatology data are the monthly data averaged over the ...

Quality ATTRIBUTE ACCURACY REPORT: The animals counts were done according to convention: sorting under a stereo microscope after sample splitting and sieving. The sample preserved in a 4% buffered formalin in seawater was sieved through 150 and 1000 μm mesh sieves. Accuracy is unknown. The nets can be subject to clogging by diatom chains and gelatinous zooplankton, but such events are unlikely during the ... View entire text
