#' phytopknar
#'
#' Narragansett bay time series of phytoplakton abundances 
#' 
#' Methods: Samples collected at Narragansett Bay, RI, US  "Station II", Latitude 41° 34' 2" Longitude 71° 23' 4" and counted live 1-3 hours after collection.
#' Whole-water (unconcentrated) counts done with a Sedgwick-Rafter cell at 250X and 500X magnification, phase contrast optics.  Entire chamber counted for 1 cell /mL detection level.  
#' UNITS ARE CELLS /mL. Phytoplankton species names reflect those used in the early 2000s, and have not been updated to current taxonomy.
