For all the absolute coccolithophore abundances during the Meteor M84/3 cruise, see Oviedo et al. (2017) doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.875202.

Coccosphere-unit: Conversion of coccoliths to hypothetical coccospheres by taking an average number of coccoliths per coccosphere.

Data were corrected after publication due to a systematical error (conversion factor 1.44).

The Mediterranean Sea is considered a "hot spot" for climate change, being characterized by oligotrophic to ultra-oligotrophic waters and rapidly increasing seasurface...
