CTD and optical data from the remotely operated undulating towed vehicle (Scanfish) collected during Spring R/V Pelican Cruise March 29 - April 3, 2016

The remotely operated undulating towed vehicle known as the Scanfish was equipped with a SEA-BIRD Scientific fastcast 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 continuously from the R/V Pelican during the Spring CONCORDE Cruise on March 29-April 3, 2016. The dataset include the date, time, location, depth, temperature, conductivity, salinity, chlorophyll-a fluorescence, CDOM fluorescence, phycoerythrin fluorescence, backscattering 3 wavelengths, attenuation (c) and absorption (a) coefficients at 85 wavelengths, transmittance, irradiance at 6 wavelengths and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR).
