Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) time series from lagoon sites along the Alaska Beaufort Sea coast, 2018-ongoing

To understand seasonality and production as part of the Beaufort Lagoon Ecosystem Long Term Ecological Research program, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is recorded in situ, starting August 2018 across the Beaufort Sea coast. Spherical quantum sensors measure PAR ~0.5 m above the benthos at underwater mooring locations and cosine sensors measure incident PAR at the surface at a permanent land-based station.
