Abundance of Emiliania huxleyi and Gephyrocapsa ericsonii in the Gulf of Aqaba from 2017 to 2020: monitoring and experimental dataset Citable as data publication Keuter, S.; Frada, M.; Shaked, Y.; The Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences (IUI) & Alexander Silberman Institute of Life Sciences, Hebrew University of Jerusalem: Israel; (2021): Abundance of Emiliania huxleyi and Gephyrocapsa ericsonii in the Gulf of Aqaba from 2017 to 2020: monitoring and experimental dataset. Marine Data Archive. https://doi.org/10.14284/528 Contact: Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description This dataset includes: nutrient data from Station A since 1975, as well as high resolution coastal (pier) water temperature data, both taken by the Israel National Monitoring Program (NMP), and abundance data on Emiliania huxleyi, Gephyrocapsa ericsonii and total coccolithophores from the years 2017 to 2020 at Station A, and coccolithophore data obtained from a temperature exposure experiment conducted in the Frada group at the Interuniversity Institute of Marine Sciences in Eilat (Israel). more Emiliania huxleyi and Gephyrocapsa ericsonii are common coccolithophores in the Gulf of Aqaba. Rising water temperature in the gulf however seem to be the driving force of drastically changing abundances of the two species as described in Frada et al.: Divergent fate of coccolithophores in a warming tropical ecosystem (2021, Global Change Biology).
