Southern Surveyor Voyage SS 01/99 HPLC Pigment and Ocean Colour Data

Updated: 2004-11-22

This record contains data collected at 7 stations on the Southern Surveyor cruise SS 01/99. Water samples were collected from an area of the Southern Ocean near MacQuarie Island to determine the bio-optical properties of water masses in these regions. The data can be used for Ocean Colour and CDOM sensor validation. 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. In addition to the station samples, 47 water samples were collected from the outflow of the underway fluorometer and analysed for the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments only.
