PAR data from buoys along the west coast of Canada

Optical sensors were added to some of the 17 meteorological ODAS (Ocean Data Acquisition System) buoys which provide weather and ocean data along and off the west coast of Canada for the Environment (EC) and the Fisheries and Ocean departments (DFO) of the Canadian federal government. This dataset includes Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) data from two locations: Halibut Bank (buoy code 46146) and Saanich Inlet near the Institute of Ocean Sciences (buoy code 46134).
