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 (aCDOM) particulate (a/p) and detrital or non-algal (a/d) components of the water column. 20 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 dissolved and particulate absorption coefficients. CLW deployed instruments RAMSES, ac-9, Hydroscat and Hydrorad. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[150.5, -24.0], [151.8, -24.0], [151.8, -23.0], [150.5, -23.0], [150.5, -24.0]]]} 150.5 151.8 -24.0 -23.0 Data Link documentDigital Access all data - Australian-waters Earth Observation Phytoplankton-type Products (AEsOP) HTML Data Link documentDigital Data also available via IMOS and AODN portal HTML Data Link documentDigital Download LC_IMOS_SRS_BioOptical_B_FREAug2004_absorption.zip (.csv, .xls, .nc) HTML Data Link documentDigital Download LC_IMOS_SRS_BioOptical_B_FREAug2004_pigment.zip (.csv, .xls, .nc) HTML Documentation Link documentDigital This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License HTML
