BCO-DMO Processing Notes
CSV file generated by Doug Mackie from original spreadsheet PRR_data_for_DATA_SET.xls

Notes from CSV file generated by Doug Mackie:
Underwater irradiance was examined by a radiometer PRR600 (Biospherical Instruments)
Euphotic zone is defined as depth at which irradience is 1% at seasurface.
Data in a separate table before PAR table (see euphotic zone dataset)

BCO-DMO Edits
- Parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention
- lat/lon added in from stations location data

Generic Name: Radiometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/122/

Generic Description:

Radiometer is a generic term for a range of instruments used to measure electromagnetic radiation (radiance and irradiance) in the atmosphere or the water column. For example, this instrument category includes free-fall spectral radiometer (SPMR/SMSR System, Satlantic, Inc), profiling or deck cosine PAR units (PUV-500 and 510, Biospherical Instruments, Inc). This is a generic term used when specific type, make and model were not specified.
