South-west Western Australia, April 2003, HPLC and Ocean Colour Data (AOCWG cruise)

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

This record contains data collected on the charter vessel Maritime Image between 14 and 17 April 2003 off the southwest of Western Australia . 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. Eleven stations were sampled. The data was used primarily to alidate 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.
