Tasmanian Coastal Waters, May 2007, HPLC Pigment and Ocean Colour Data

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

This record contains data collected on the charter vessel FV Challenger between 21 and 30 May 2007 from Tasmanian coastal waters. 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 (ap) and detrital or non-algal (ad) components of the water column; 28 stations were sampled. The data was used primarily to validate ocean colour sensors MERIS, MODIS and SeaWIFs. 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.
