Biomaper-II environmental data from R/V Endeavor and R/V Oceanus cruises EN307, EN330, EN331, OC332 and OC334 to Georges Bank and the Gulf of Maine in 1997-1999 (GB project)

<h2>Georges Bank BIOMAPERII Environmental (CTD+) Data</h2>

<p>These data are from the Enviromental Sensing System (ESS) part of the <u>BIO</u>-Optical <u>M</u>ulti-frequency <u>A</u>coustical and <u>P</u>hysical <u>E</u>nvironmental <u>R</u>ecorder or BIOMAPER II.* (1)</p>

<p>\"The system consists of a multi-frequency sonar (up-looking and down-looking pairs of transducers operating at five frequencies: 43,120,200,420, and 1000kHz), a video plankton recorder system (VPR), an environmental sensor system (CTD, fluorometer, transmissometer), and several other bio-optical sensors (down- and upwelling spectral radiometers, spectral attenuation, and backscattering, and absorption meters).\" *(2)</p>
