 PI:             Michael Roman 
 dataset:        Mesozooplankton biomass, Bongo Net oblique tows 
 project/cruise: Arabian Sea, Process 1 TTN043   
 ship:           R/V Thomas Thompson
 
 Sampling methodology:
	Smith, Sharon L. 1984. Biological Indications of Active
	Upwelling in the Northwestern Indian Ocean in 1964 and 1979,
	and a comparison with Peru and Northwest Africa. Deep-Sea
	Research 31:951-967

 Analysis methodology referenced in:
        Roman, M.R. et al, Zooplankton variability on the equator 
        at 140W during the JGOFS EqPac Study. Deep Sea Research
        II, 42(2-3) : 673-693, 1995
 
 Note:  All samples were taken from the 153 micron net.
        All bongo tows sampled the 0-200 meter range except for sta 29, 
        event 01311713 which sampled the 0-100 meter range.
