Optical Dynamics Experiment (ODEX) Data Report R/V Acania Expedition 10 October-17 November 1982. Volume 2. Particle Size Distributions. Volume 6. Scalar Spectral-Radiometer Data,
Abstract
The Optical Dynamics Experiment (ODEX) was an interdisciplinary experiment to study the relation of physical forcing, biological processes, and the structure of optical parameters in the open ocean. This data report presents the data collected with the spectral radiometer package, and the particle size analysis of discrete water samples taken from CTD casts by the Oregon State Univ. Optical Oceanography Group. The ODEX cruise of Oct and Nov 1982 occupied 1984 stations along a transect from the California coast at 35 deg N to a study area covering the subtropical front near 32 deg N, 142 deg W. Plots are presented of hydrographic parameters, beam attenuation, percentage of surface irradiance at 9 wave-lengths, and diffuse attenuation at 5 wavelengths. Lists of the same parameters as well as discrete and total visible irradiance are presented. Keywords: Sea water; Light transmission; North pacific ocean; Oceanographic data; Optical data; Irradiance measurements; Eastern North Co. Pacific Central Gyre.
