Auxillary data collected on IMR cruise 2013107

This dataset is a collection of of output from different sources. All data were collected during an IMR funded cruises, work was put into collating and publishing them as part of the EU funded project "Ecologically and economically sustainable mesopelagic fisheries" (MEESO). The aim is to present data that helps interpretation of catch and jull-mounted acoustic data, which are already published in the ICES trawl-acoustic database.

The dataset contains diverse sources of data, as they were registered onboard. It contains raw CTD output data from the ships Seabird CTD instrument for all stations covered, as well as underway vessel activity, positions, and weather station and thermosalinograph data collected during the cruise.

Underway and vertical profiles of light levels were measured with TriOS hyperspectral sensors, these data have been processed by converting spectrally resolved energies into photon counts, which have been integrated over the bandwidth 400 - 700 nm, and are reported as photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in units of mol quanta per m2 and second.
