Holographic images from LISST-Holo system while deployed on the AUV Honey Badger (Wave Glider) during a deployment in the North Pacific gyre in 2015 (MAGI project)

Expand/Collapse All

Description

This dataset includes holographic images from a LISST-Holo Submersible Digital Holographic Camera during an AUV Honey Badger deployment in the North Pacific gyre in 2015. I Image metadata, cell counts (e.g. number of Hemiaulus cells in aggregate form), and all raw holographic images are in the RAW.zip (12GB) file.

Software for further processing the raw holographic images provided here is available at the Sequoia Scientific, Inc. LISST-Holo page The following montage and depth images can be created for every raw image using the LISST-Holo software.

Methods & Sampling

The LISST-Holo Submersible Digital Holographic Camera from Sequoia Scientific, Inc. was mounted on in a tow fish deployed on a 10 m tether behind the sub-body of the AUV Honey Badger. Holographic images were acquired in bursts every 6 hours. During each burst, 15 images were taken in 5 seconds.

The software "Batch-Holo" was used to generate the biovolume from particles with an equivalent spherical diameter of 11.094-58.1 microns. See "Parameters" section for more details.

Hemiaulus and Rhizosolenia cells were identified by hand. Each image was viewed using the "Holo_Detail" software and any Hemiaulus or Rhizosolenia cells were counted.

The manual and specifications for the LISST-Holo system, and software used in this dataset are available on the instrument page. The software can be obtained from the Sequoia Scientific, Inc. LISST-Holo page.

The calculation of cells per liter was done using the following the following formula:

BCO-DMO Processing

Data version 2018-01-05 replaces version 2017-10-31. The new version includes updated calculations of cells per liter. The previous version used a multiplication factor of 602 while the new version uses 538 (see Methods & Sampling section).

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes for version 2017-10-31:
* added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
* 406 values of #DIV/0! caused by zero division removed. They empty cells display as "nd" for "no data" in the served dataset.
* added CTDTime_ISO from CTD timestamp column. The CTDTime_ISO is in format yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MMZ.
* latitude,longitude,QtrLat,QtrLon rounded to 5 decimal places
* added imagename column based on the deployment number "004" and the holo image number (with 4 place 0 padding)
* added embedded <img> with link to a thumbnail .jpg of each holographic image. Note, the thumbnails are not holographic images themselves, and are only useful for display purposes.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sequoia LISST Digital Holographic Particle Imaging System

Acronym: LISST-Holo

Generic Description:

Submersible Digital Holographic Particle Imaging System for measurement of large, complex flocs and biological particles. Also used for investigation of frazil ice formation and in-situ measurements of falling snow flakes. A laser beam traverses the optical path of the camera, overfilling a CCD array, creating a hologram.
