Raw data: CTD, optical, and oxygen data from the remotely operated undulating towed vehicle (ScanFish) collected during fall R/V Pelican cruise PE16-11 in the Mississippi Bight from 2015-11-05 to 2015-11-07

The remotely operated undulating towed vehicle known as the ScanFish was equipped with a SEA-BIRD Scientific FastCAT CTD (SBE-49) and oxygen sensor (SBE-43), SEA-BIRD Scientific-Satlantic OCR-507 multispectral radiometer, and four SEA-BIRD Scientific-WET Labs optical instruments: Spectral Absorption and Attenuation meter (AC-s), ECO Triplet Fluorimeter (FL3: chlorophyll-a, Color Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) and Phycoerythrin), ECO Triplet Backscattering sensor (BB3: 470 nm, 532 nm, 660 nm) and a C-Star Transmissometer. The ScanFish was towed for 1-2 hour durations in four separate sampling sections from the R/V Pelican on November 6-7, 2015 during the Fall CONCORDE Cruise that took place from November 2-7, 2015. The dataset includes only the raw files. Note that raw files allow for the optical data to be processed with different scattering algorithms. A document on how to process these files is included. WET Labs software to process the files is publicly available.
