NPD = North Pacific diatom. Abundance: A = abundant (≥6 specimens per field of view [FOV] at 400× magnification), C = common (1–5 specimens/FOV at 400×), F = few (1–4 specimens/5 FOVs at 400×), R = rare (1–10 specimens/horizontal traverse at 400×), B = barren, X = contaminant. Preservation: P = poor, M = moderate, G = good. — = barren or indeterminate.
