The Coastal & Oceanic Plankton Ecology, Production & Observation Database (COPEPOD) offers a variety of prepared plankton data compilations and analyzed field products (e.g., global mean fields of zooplankton biomass).

• Global taxonomic compilations for each of the major plankton taxa groups (e.g., "diatoms", "copepods", "larval fish") are available as part of the Interactive Atlas page.   <-- click here

• Using published correction factors, the multitude of sampling mesh and depth and biomass types present in COPEPOD have been calculated into global mean fields of zooplankton carbon mass.   Documentation as well as the mean fields are available at the Global Mean Fields page.   <-- click here

• Each individual data set in COPEPOD has its own graphical metadata summary page that highlights the sampling dates and geographic coverage, the plankton types measured, the gear and mesh sizes used, and the institutes and investigators that were involved.   You can access these through a variety of pathways by featured in the Plankton Database page.   <-- click here
