Deep Ocean Optical Measurement (DOOM) Report on North Atlantic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean Cruises
Abstract
Optical attenuation data collected during four Deep Ocean Optical Measurement (DOOM) program cruises from September 1968 to April 1972 are presented. Locales of operation included tracks in the North Atlantic about 450 nautical miles off the middle Atlantic coast of the United States and along the trough north of the Greater Antilles between the Bahamas and Puerto Rico, in the Caribbean Sea from the Cayman trench south of Cuba through the Yucatan Strait into the Gulf of Mexico, and in the Mediterranean Sea from Greece to Gibraltar. Optical parameters, which are measured in-situ to all depths, are spectral attenuation coefficients at visible wavelengths in the transmission window and the volume scattering function also in the visible at 436 nanometers.
