Abstract:
Data collected in July, 2016 aboard the R/V Oceanus using an underway flow-through system. For detailed information regarding this system, refer to Burt et al. (2018) and Burt and Tortell (2018). Particulate backscatter (bbp) is presented in two formats. 'Binned' data refers to measurements that have undergone regular processing techniques, namely minute-binning and median filtering. Important metadata, including ships position, salinity, and chlorophyll, are all minute-binned. 'Raw' bbp data refers to measurements not binned or median-filtered, which are higher-resolution (1 Hz, or per-second), and include a number of large 'spikes'. The height of each individual spike ('spikeheight') is also given. For more information regarding the specifics of this data, please refer to Burt and Tortell (2018).
Note: The raw data consists of over 1 million time points, and thus has been split into two separate files.
