Optical Measurements with Related Chemical, Biological, and Physical Parameters from the Central Equatorial Pacific Ocean: NOAA SHIP DISCOVERER, Cruise RP-9-DI-84, 27 February-9 March 1984

摘要

This report summarizes data collected by NORDA's optical oceanography program on a north-south transect of the central equatorial Pacific Ocean. Data were collected from 14 stations from the surface to a depth of 2900 meters. Parameters presented here include conductivity, temeprature, salinity, transmissometry, fluorometry, chlorophyll and phaeopigments, total suspended matter, particle size and nutrients (phosphate, silicate, nitrate, and nitrite). Data are reported as vertical profiles (to 250 m), temperature-salinity plots, and tables of measured and derived values. Collection and analytical procedures are also described.
