  abstract = {{I}n marine ecosystems, most physiological, ecological, or physical processes are size dependent. {T}hese include metabolic rates, the uptake of carbon and other nutrients, swimming and sinking velocities, and trophic interactions, which eventually determine the stocks of commercial species, as well as biogeochemical cycles and carbon sequestration. {A}s such, broad-scale observations of plankton size distribution are important indicators of the general functioning and state of pelagic ecosystems under anthropogenic pressures. {H}ere, we present the first global datasets of the {P}elagic {S}ize {S}tructure database ({PSS}db), generated from plankton imaging devices. {T}his release includes the bulk particle normalized biovolume size spectrum ({NBSS}) and the bulk particle size distribution ({PSD}), along with their related parameters (slope, intercept, and {R}-2) measured within the epipelagic layer (0-200 m) by three imaging sensors: the {I}maging {F}low{C}ytobot ({IFCB}), the {U}nderwater {V}ision {P}rofiler ({UVP}), and benchtop scanners. {C}ollectively, these instruments effectively image organisms and detrital material in the 7-10 000 mu m size range. {A} total of 92 472 {IFCB} samples, 3068 {UVP} profiles, and 2411 scans passed our quality control and were standardized to produce consistent instrument-specific size spectra averaged to 1 degrees x 1 degrees latitude and longitude and by year and month. {O}ur instrument-specific datasets span most major ocean basins, except for the {IFCB} datasets we have ingested, which were exclusively collected in northern latitudes, and cover decadal time periods (2013-2022 for {IFCB}, 2008-2021 for {UVP}, and 1996-2022 for scanners), allowing for a further assessment of the pelagic size spectrum in space and time. {T}he datasets that constitute {PSS}db's first release are available at 10.5281/zenodo.11050013 . {I}n addition, future updates to these data products can be accessed at 10.5281/zenodo.7998799.},
