<p>Cruise Name: Gradients 4 , TN397</p> <p>Vessel: R/V Thompson</p> <p>Funding: Simons Collaboration on&nbsp;Ocean Processes and Ecology (SCOPE)</p> <p>Dataset description:</p> <p>This dataset was collected on the R/V Thompson during the Gradients IV cruise which departed from San Diego, CA and ended in Honolulu, HI. A transect was performed on the 140 degree longitude line from roughly 19 degrees N to 2.5 degrees S before heading to Honolulu. The Satlantic (now Seabird) HyperPro is an in-situ free-fall profiling unit designed to measure the apparent optical properties of the ocean with concurrent measurements of temperature, salinity, chlorophyll and dissolved matter fluorescence, and optical backscattering (a proxy for total particle load). The unit is equipped with one up-looking and one down-looking hyperspectral (350-800nm) radiometer with 10 &plusmn; 0.3 nm resolution, a WET Labs ECO-Puck Triplet, and temperature, pressure, and conductivity sensors. It also incorporates a ship-mounted surface (air) hyperspectral radiometer. &nbsp;These data are collated from the vertical profiles. Note that lat/lon was pulled from the Station ID and may not exactly match the ship&#39;s cruise log.</p>
