Southern Surveyor Voyage SS 02/99 HPLC Pigment and Ocean Colour Data

This record contains data collected at 20 stations on the Southern Surveyor cruise SS02/99. Water samples were generally collected along the transect of around 142deg E from 40-55deg S to determinethe bio-optical charateristics of this region. The data can be used for Ocean Colour and CDOM sensor validation. Parameters measured are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and the absorption coefficient for dissolved (CDOM) particulate (a/p) and detrital or non-algal (a/d) components of the water column. Much of this was a repeat of a transect sampled during March 1998 on the Aurora Australis cruise AA06/97. In addition to the station samples, 25 water samples were collected from the outflow of the underway fluorometer and analysed for chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments only.

本数据集包含“南方探索者”号（Southern Surveyor）航次SS02/99期间在20个站位采集的观测数据。本次采样主要沿东经约142°、南纬40°至55°的断面开展，旨在探明该海域的生物光学特性。该数据集可用于海洋水色传感器与有色溶解有机物（CDOM, Colored Dissolved Organic Matter）传感器的性能验证。本次测定的参数包括叶绿素与类胡萝卜素色素浓度，以及水体中溶解态（CDOM）、颗粒态（a/p）与碎屑/非藻类（a/d）组分的吸收系数。本次断面采样的大部分区域，与1998年3月“南极光”号（Aurora Australis）航次AA06/97采集的断面采样区域重合。除站位水样外，科研人员还从走航式荧光计的出水口采集了25份水样，仅对其开展叶绿素与类胡萝卜素色素的分析。
