Data from a TARA Oceans study

Description

This dataset comes this study:

Guidi, L., Chaffron, S., Bittner, L., Eveillard, D., Larhlimi, A., Roux, S., ... & Coelho, L. P. (2016). Plankton networks driving carbon export in the oligotrophic ocean. Nature, 532(7600), 465-470.

The data subdirectory contains:

• SI4_environmental_data.tsv: Supplementary Table 4 containing environmental data for each sample:

  • Sample: Sample ID
  • Latitude: Latitude
  • Longitude: Longitude
  • Salinity: Salinity
  • NO2 (umol/L): NO2 concentration
  • PO4 (umol/L): PO4 concentration
  • NO2NO3 (umol/L): NO2NO3 concentration
  • Mean Chloro HPLC adjusted (mg Chl/m3): Chlorophyll concentration
  • Mean Temperature deg C: Temperature in degree Celsius
  • Mean Oxygen adjusted (umol/Kg): Oxygen concentration
  • Mean Flux at 150m: Carbon flux at 150m
  • NPP 8d VGPM (mgC/m2/day): NPP weekly average (VGPM model)

• SI5_eukaryotic_lineages.tsv: Supplementary Table 5 containing eukaryotic lineages and their correlations as computed using sparse PLS regression (sPLS)

• Normalised abundance tables

How did we create these files?

• We downloaded Supplementary Tables as Excel sheets (SI.tables.xlsx) from http://www.raeslab.org/companion/ocean-carbon-export.html

• For the sheets containing Table S4 and S5, we saved them in the Tab Separated Values (.tsv) format.

• Normalised abundance tables have just been extracted from the norm.abundance.matrices.zip archive and remained unchanged.
