Great Barrier Reef, August 2005, HPLC Pigment and Ocean Colour Data (AIMS cruise code LB4083)

This record contains data collected on the charter vessel RV Lady Basten between 23 and 28 August 2005 in the Great Barrier Reef. 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.

本数据集包含2005年8月23日至28日期间，在大堡礁海域于包租研究船巴斯滕女士号（RV Lady Basten）上采集的实测数据，可用于海洋水色传感器（Ocean Colour sensor）的验证工作。本次实测参数涵盖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）与碎屑/非藻类（a/d）组分的吸收系数。本次调查共布设20个采样站位，所获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（Sea Surface Temperature, SST）传感器AATSR。研究人员针对色素、总悬浮颗粒物（TSS）、溶解态与颗粒态吸收系数完成了样品采集与分析工作，CLW团队部署了RAMSES、ac-9、Hydroscat与Hydrorad等仪器设备。
