Five type of cruises in this study:
Normal cruise: Stations at 4m, 6m, 8m, 10m, 12m, and 14m depths where pump filtered water in 2m depth intervals from the surface to the bottom.
Event cruise: Stations sampled between 8m and 3m depths depending on location of warm temperature fronts. Pump filtered water at 0.15m, 0.75m, 2m, and 0.20 meters above bottom).
Swell cruise: Sampling during high wave conditions, at 8m depth, with pump filtering water in 2m depth intervals from the surface to the bottom.
Thermo cruise: Sampling at fixed station at 5m depth, with pump filtering water in 1m depth intervals from the surface to the bottom.
Diver cruise: Divers pushed nets through the water at the surface, mid-depth, and near-bottom at stations located in 2m, 4m, and 8m depths.
