The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVE RADIATION (PAR) underway - surface data collected in the South Atlantic Ocean and South Pacific Ocean on the NATHANIEL B. PALMER cruises NBP0103, NBP0104 and others as part of the Southern Ocean GLOBEC project from 2001-04-29 to 2002-09-15 (NODC Accession 0112165) |
| Abstract: | NODC Accession 0112165 includes underway - surface and physical data collected aboard the NATHANIEL B. PALMER during cruises NBP0103, NBP0104, NBP0202 and NBP0204 in the South Atlantic Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from 2001-04-29 to 2002-09-15. These data include PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVE RADIATION (PAR). The instruments used to collect these data include radiometer and PAR Sensor. These data were collected by Maria Vernet of University of California-San Diego as part of Southern Ocean GLOBEC. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-07-24. The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO: Photosynthetically Available Radiation (PAR) Data from broadscale cruises NBP0103, NBP0104, NBP0202 and NBP0204 Instrument Notes: Biospherical Instruments GUV-500 is a 5-channel reference radiometer which typically measures cosine-corrected down welling irradiance at 305, 320, 340, 380nm and PAR (400-700nm). Cosine irradiance (EsPAR) sensors collect light impinging on a Teflon-coated diffuser and the response is proportional to the cosine of the angle of incidence. Biospherical Instruments QSR250 system measures a single channel of scalar irradiance (PAR) and is appropriate for applications independent of the directionality of the light field, such as measurements of the flux available for photosynthesis. -- Biospherical Instruments Data Notes: 1. The cosine PAR value for yrday_gmt 151 year 2001 is an estimate, based on a conversion from data recorded by the QSR240 scalar sensor package. 2. Latitude and longitude have been added to this data set by the Data Management Office. These positions are the noon (12:00 hour) positions reported in the ship's alongtrack data set. 3. Scalar PAR data was extracted from the ship's alongtrack meteorological data set. The sensor package was mounted on ship's science mast.
