Brief description
This record contains data collected at 15 stations on the Southern Surveyor cruise SS 06/96. Water samples were collected off the east coast of Tasmania, SW Victoria and southern NSW to determine the bio-optical characteristics of water masses in these regions. Parameters measured are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and the absorption coefficient for dissolved (CDOM) particulate (a/p) and detrital or non-algal (a/d) components of the water column. This data can be used for the validation of ocean colour sensors. In addition to the station samples, 62 water samples were collected from the outflow of the underway fluorometer and analysed for the concentraion of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments only. The BSI 6-channel radiometer was used at the stations.Lineage
