©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.These data were collected with a drifting in situ chamber (DISC). The DISC instrument was developed by Claire Paris at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS) of the University of Miami to observe the movement behavior and orientation of pelagic larvae at sea. The DISC version used for this project was equipped with a 8-inch diameter behavioral chamber, a video camera looking up into the chamber, 3 analog and one digital compass, and environmental sensors for temperatur...

Only deployments where larvae can be tracked are included in these files. Not all deployments could be successfully analyzed because the larva was either not visible or did not survive the deployment. If you have issues downloading these compressed tar files, please contact info@bco-dmo.org.

Data package structure:
Each folder corresponds to the deployment of a single larva. In other words, each set of data in a deployment folder corresponds to the environment of the larva that was deployed at that time. The data from a single folder were synchronized to match the time stamp of the larval images.
Please refer to the file DISC_files_README.txt (also available as Microsoft Office format DISC_files_README.docx) for documentation of the files within the data package structure.
