Great Barrier Reef, October 2002, HPLC Pigment and Ocean Colour Data (AIMS cruise code LB3172)

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

This record contains data collected on the AIMS vessel RV Lady Basten between 21 and 30 October 2002. The data can be used for Ocean Colour sensor validation. Parameters measured are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and retrieved chlorophyll a estimate, the absorption coefficient for dissolved (CDOM) particulate (a/p) and detrital or non-algal (a/d) components of the water column. 9 stations were sampled. The data was used primarily to validate ocean colour sensors MERIS, MODIS and SeaWIFs and the SST sensor AATSR. Samples were collected and analysed for pigments, total suspended solids (TSS) and absorption coefficient, dissolved and particulate. CLW deployed instruments RAMSES, AC-9, Hydroscat and Hydrorad.
