August 2003 Data Summary

Instruments were deployed from R/V Point Sur.  Primary IOP instruments were deployed on the HydroProfiler package to collect data throughout the water column, and the WALRUS hyperspectral radiometer buoy was deployed in a tethered mode to collect upwelling and downwelling light spectra, just above and just below the surface.

To receive access to the data, please contact HOBI Labs.

Cast designations:

  • HP = HydroProfiler profile
  • W = WALRUS; the WALRUS buoy is allowed to drift behind the ship, well away from its shadow, while Es values are simultaneously measured on deck.  During some casts, the ship propellers were spun to produce bubbles, to measure their effect on the near-surface radiances.  WALRUS casts have 3-digit numbers where the first digit indicates a group of casts close in time, and the 3rd digit indicates an individual member of the group.

Each day, a separate series of cast numbers was used for each type of cast.  That is, each day might have casts HP1, HP2, etc., W100, W200, etc.
