Description 
Summary

Phytoplankton functional diversity and spatio-temporal distribution at the meso-scale are studied in the frame of the Continuous High Resolution Observation of the Mediterranean (CHROME project funded by the Excellence Initiative Aix-Marseille University (A*MIDEX) thanks to the combined installation of a Ferrybox system (belonging to the Institut National des Sciences et Technologie de la mer (INSTM) in Tunisia) and a Cytosense flow cytometer onboard of the Compagnie Tunisienne de Navigation (CTN) ferry “Le Carthage”. Samples were collected during the cruises between Tunis-Marseille and Tunis-Genova from October 2016 to January 2017. This led to an amount of 80 transects and more than 7000 samples collected. Data analyses resolved the abundances of up to six phytoplankton functional groups based on size and pigment content.
