Abstract:

This dataset includes depth profiles of temperature, salinity, depth, dissolved oxygen, PAR, and pH using a SeaBird CTD system (SeaBird Scientific, Bellevue, WA) and above-water radiometric measurements using a hand-held GER 1500 spectro-radiometer (Spectravista Inc., Poughkeepsie, NY).

Purpose:

To establish a baseline of the water quality conditions over the Henderson Point and Pass Christian Oyster reefs and develop remote sensing algorithms.

Data Parameters and Units:

CTD measurements (.txt files): observation [enum], temperature [deg C], salinity [PSU], conductivity, depth [m], dissolved oxygen [mg/l], pH, oxidation reduction potential [mV], PAR [umol photons m^-2 s^-1]; radiometer measurements: Wavelength, Reference Measurement (incoming solar irradiance, [Sr^-1]), Target Measurement (radiance from the water, [Sr^-1])

Methods:

CTD and radiometer measurements were collected from a small, manned boat.

Instruments:

SeaBird CTD system (SeaBird Scientific, Bellevue, WA) and hand-held GER 1500 spectro-radiometer
