Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS)
Data are provided to Marine Scotland from The Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS). The layers are available to view through Marine Scotland Maps. SAHFOS has an open and transparent approach to data availability, data requests and data citation. SAHFOS believes its plankton observation, ancillary datasets and associated metadata should be freely available to collaborating researchers. Increasing the number of scientists that can access and work with SAHFOS datasets will accelerate the progress of marine ecological science and understanding; enhancing the societal benefit derived from SAHFOS data.

| Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) - Sampling Effort - 1958 to 2015 |
The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) is a robust and reliable instrument designed to capture plankton samples over huge areas of ocean. The CPR is usually towed from the stern of volunteer merchant ships such as RoRo and Container Ships. Marine Scotland hold some datasets from The Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS) including the GIS data for the CPR data where they intersect with Scottish waters. This layer displays sampling effort expressed as number categories below or above the average plus or minus the standard deviation. All data should be cited as Hélaouët, P. 2017. SAHFOS |
| Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) - Dinoflagellates - 1958 to 2015 |
The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) is a robust and reliable instrument designed to capture plankton samples over huge areas of ocean. The CPR is usually towed from the stern of volunteer merchant ships such as RoRo and Container Ships. Marine Scotland hold some datasets from The Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS) including the GIS data for the CPR data where they intersect with Scottish waters. This layer displays total dinoflagellates (all dinoflagellate taxa aggregated per sample) expressed as abundance categories below or above the average plus or minus the standard deviation. All data should be cited as Hélaouët, P. 2017. SAHFOS |
| Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) - Diatoms - 1958 to 2015 |
The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) is a robust and reliable instrument designed to capture plankton samples over huge areas of ocean. The CPR is usually towed from the stern of volunteer merchant ships such as RoRo and Container Ships. Marine Scotland hold some datasets from The Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS) including the GIS data for the CPR data where they intersect with Scottish waters. This layer displays total diatoms (all diatom taxa aggregated per sample) expressed as abundance categories below or above the average plus or minus the standard deviation.

| Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) - Phytoplankton Colour Index (PCI) - 1958 to 2015 |
The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) is a robust and reliable instrument designed to capture plankton samples over huge areas of ocean. The CPR is usually towed from the stern of volunteer merchant ships such as RoRo and Container Ships. Marine Scotland hold some datasets from The Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS) including the GIS data for the CPR data where they intersect with Scottish waters. This layer displays Phytoplankton Colour Index (PCI). PCI is assigned a log value based on standard pantone colour charts. All data should be cited as Hélaouët, P. 2017. SAHFOS |
| Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) - Sea surface temperature (NOAA) - 1958 to 2015 |
The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) is a robust and reliable instrument designed to capture plankton samples over huge areas of ocean. The CPR is usually towed from the stern of volunteer merchant ships such as RoRo and Container Ships. Marine Scotland hold some datasets from The Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS) including the GIS data for the CPR data where they intersect with Scottish waters. This layer displays graphs with the sea surface temperature in area expressed in °C from 1958-2015. Data originates from NOAA Research: https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.cobe.html. All data should be cited as Hélaouët, P. 2017. SAHFOS |
