Tara Collected Planktonic Organisms

Caption

Tara collected planktonic organisms together with environmental parameters throughout the world, including the polar regions, over a three-year period. This involved the use of sophisticated sampling devices and physicochemical sensors. The sampling protocol was devised by the scientific consortium which analyzed the results and authored the 5 papers in Science.
