    • Optical measurements of irradiance and fluorescence from ATLANTIS II and other platforms in NE Atlantic (limit-40 W) from 1989-04-18 to 1989-07-07 (NCEI Accession 9200160)

    Metadata Updated: July 28, 2023

    These data are optical measurements of irradiance and fluorescence collected during continuous long track surface measurements made on the Endeavor 168 Cruise between Reykjavik, Iceland and a 60N station. Data parameters include: position, incident par (400-700 nm) irradiance in μmol/sec/m2, and MLML incubator scalar par (400-700 nm) irradiance in μmol/sec/m2. Calculated rescale fluorescence (680 nm) values were also included; the relative units are equal to pigment amounts measured in mg/m3. These data were collected as part of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS)/ North Atlantic Bloom Experiment (NABE) by Moss Landing Marine Laboratory, California.

    The Endeavor 168 data are contained two files: E198MLML.hor and E198sail.hor. A readme.txt file (MLML Tech Pub 90-1) overviews the data parameters and methodology. This research was funded by NSF grant OCE-8813568, and The Office of Naval Research grant # N-000-14-84-C-0619.

    These data are calculated optical measurements of fluorescence collected during continuous long track surface measurements made on the JGOFS Atlantis II Cruise 119.4 between the Azores and Iceland. Data parameters include: position, salinity, incident par (400-700) irradiance in μmol/sec/m2, MLML incubator par scalar irradiance in μmol/sec/m2, and rescaled fluorescence (685 nm) mg/m3. "Rescaled fluorescence" units are numerically equivalent to chlorophyll a concentrations in μg/liter.

    The Atlantis II data are contained two files: A1194.hor and A1195.hor. a readme.txt file (MLML Tech Pub 90-1) overviews the data parameters and methodology. This research was funded by NSF grant OCE-8813568, and the Office of Naval Research Grant # N-000-14-84-C-0619.
