Niskin bottle hydrography from the CTD rosette from cruises KN193-03, B4-2008, B9-2008, and B10-2008 from the subpolar North Atlantic and Iceland Basin in 2008 (NAB 2008 project) | particulate backscattering coefficient (bbp) | bbp700 |
Float park phase data collected at depth in the Sargasso Sea from 2013-2014. | Particulate backscattering coefficient bbp (700nm); Acquired with WET Labs MCOMS Scattering Meter with 700-nm wavelength and in-water centroid angle of 150 deg. See Table 3 in paper. The particulate volume scattering coefficient βp was calculated as βp(150 deg,700 nm) [m-1 sr-1] = Scale Factor * (Output – Dark Counts) using a factory-determined scale factor and a dark offset, computed separately for each sensor as the mean of the deep-water minima measured during all profiles between July and September 2013 at BATS (https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/728371). Particulate backscattering coefficient, bbp(λ) [m-1], is estimated as bbp = 2πχβp(150 deg) χ = 1.13 for 150 deg (from Boss and Pegau 2001). | bbp700 |
Float park phase data collected at depth in the Sargasso Sea from 2013-2014. | Corrected particulate backscattering coefficient bbp (700nm); Depth profiles of particulate backscattering coefficient bbp(700 nm) were despiked using a running median filter (Briggs et al. 2011). Due to the size of the median filter window the initial and final six data points in each profile could not be despiked and appear as NaN. Park phase bbp(700 nm) data were not despiked because they were collected at a nominally constant depth. Despiked profile phase bbp(700 nm) and raw park phase bbp(700 nm) were further corrected by a float-specific deep-water offset. The minimum bbp(700 nm) measured during the long-term deployments was determined for each float (-2.0488e-04 m-1 for F033; -1.1139e-04 m-1 for F034) and subtracted from the bbp(700 nm) values derived above. | bbp700_corr |
