BEAGLE 2003, Leg 3, Valparaiso (Chile) to Santos (Brazil), HPLC Pigment and Ocean Colour Data

The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Sciences and Technology (JAMSTEC) sponsored this research cruise - a circumnavigation of the Southern hemisphere using the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Hydrographic Program (WHP) lines in the southern hemisphere to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its establishment. The research cruise was named "BEAGLE 2003" (Blue EArth GLobal Expedition 2003) and was carried out on RV MIRAI. This is a subset of the Beagle 2003 data set and contains the HPLC pigment and particulate absorption coefficient data collected on leg 3, between Valparaiso, Chile and Santos, Brazil from the 20 Oct to 25 Oct 2003. The data can be used for Ocean Colour sensor validation. Parameters measured on the leg are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and the absorption coefficent for particulate (a/p) components of the water column. Samples were collected at 11 stations. 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 and absorption coefficient, particulate.日本海洋地球科学技术厅（JAMSTEC）为纪念其成立30周年，赞助了此次环绕南半球的科考航次，本次航次依托世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）水文计划（WHP）的南半球航线开展作业。本次科考航次命名为“BEAGLE 2003（全球蓝色地球考察2003）”，由“未来号”（RV MIRAI）科考船执行。本数据集为BEAGLE 2003数据集的子集，包含2003年10月20日至25日期间，在智利瓦尔帕莱索与巴西桑托斯之间的第3航段采集的高效液相色谱（HPLC）色素数据与颗粒物吸收系数数据。该数据可用于海洋水色传感器验证。本次航段测量的参数包括水体柱样的叶绿素与类胡萝卜素色素浓度，以及水体颗粒物（a/p）组分的吸收系数。此次航次共在11个站位采集样品。本数据主要用于验证海洋水色传感器MERIS、MODIS及SeaWiFS，以及海表温度传感器AATSR。所有色素、吸收系数及颗粒物相关样品均已完成采集与分析。
