Terms of Reference
- To review the present methods of collection, analysis, and curation of
plankton samples by agencies involved with time-series measurements and
the uses that are made of the data.
- To overview the different instrumental approaches to measuring
plankton, identify improvements that can be made to sampling strategies
and make recommendations on how instruments can be improved and
integrated with direct plankton sampling systems for calibration.
- To establish a strict methodology for inter-comparison/calibration
of different sampling systems.
- To recommend a standard package of additional measurements that
should be taken in association with plankton surveys to enhance the
resulting products and assess logistical requirements, identify
improvements that could be made in existing instrumentation for use in
or attached to towed bodies for plankton survey.
- To encourage the use of the products of long-established surveys and
the application of new strategies for large-scale and long-term sampling
of zooplankton by organising an international symposium. Publish the
products of reviews by members of the working group, selected presented
papers and workshop reports in an internationally recognised,
peer-reviewed journal or SCOR-sponsored book.
