Inner Oslofjorden Phytoplankton Database

The inner Oslofjorden Phytoplankton Database is a comprehensive data collection containing quantitative phytoplankton cell counts, associated metadata and available environmental data. The primary source for the collection is the monitoring programme for inner Oslofjorden conducted with varying yearly frequencies from 1973 until today, mainly by the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA). From 2006 to 2020, sampling frequency was approximately monthly. Secondary, the database is also supplied with data from various projects from 1896 to 1976, conducted by researchers from University of Oslo (UiO).
