Gradients1_KOK1606_Optics_LISST

Cruise Name: KOK1606, Gradients 1.0. Project: Simons Foundation - Gradients NPSG A Sequoia LISST-100X was plumbed to the underway uncontaminated seawater on the R/V KOK. Data for each instrument were averaged to the minute. LISST: Filtered values (<0.2 um) removed from all data. The summed volume concentration of particles (in uL/L), the standard LISST output, is presented for the size range 2-20 µm. Particle volume concentration can be converted to particle concentration by assuming spherical particles. The total particle concentration (#/L) is calculated for particles in the same size class. Larger size classes are excluded due to low detection limits and scattering at density gradients. Note that data have not been processed to remove outliers.
