Fitzroy River Estuary, August 2004, HPLC Pigment and Ocean Colour Data

This record contains data collected on the charter vessel Rum Rambler between 15 and 19 August 2004 in the Fitzroy River Estuary. The data can be used for Ocean Colour sensor validation. Parameters measured are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and retrieved chlorophyll a estimate, the absorption coefficient for dissolved (aCDOM) particulate (a/p) and detrital or non-algal (a/d) components of the water column. 20 stations were sampled. The data was used primarily to validate ocean colour sensors MERIS, MODIS and SeaWIFs and the SST sensor AATSR. Samples were collected and analysed for pigments, total suspended solids (TSS) and dissolved and particulate absorption coefficients. CLW deployed instruments RAMSES, ac-9, Hydroscat and Hydrorad.本数据集收录了2004年8月15日至19日期间，在菲茨罗伊河河口（Fitzroy River Estuary）由租船“Rum Rambler”号采集的观测数据，可用于海洋水色传感器性能验证。本次测量的参数包括叶绿素与类胡萝卜素色素浓度、反演叶绿素a估算值，以及水体中溶解态（aCDOM）、颗粒态（a/p）和碎屑/非藻类（a/d）组分的吸收系数。本次采样共布设20个站位。该数据集主要用于验证海洋水色传感器MERIS、MODIS、SeaWIFs以及海表温度（Sea Surface Temperature, SST）传感器AATSR的性能。研究人员针对色素、总悬浮颗粒物（Total Suspended Solids, TSS）以及溶解态与颗粒态吸收系数开展了样品采集与分析工作。CLW团队部署了RAMSES、ac-9、Hydroscat及Hydrorad等观测仪器。
