Optical Transmission Data Measured During Cruise Number 1 of Project EARS.

Abstract

Plots of percent transmission, for a four meter path, versus depth are presented. The data points are at one minute intervals. The measurements were made from a minimum depth of four (4) meters below the surface to three (3) meters from the ocean floor. The instrument used for these measurements was a four meter optical transmissometer which measures transmission of light in the 5000-6000A wavelength region. The system was lowered on a cable from the USNS SANDS for the measurements. The accuracy of the measurements is + or - 2%.
