Description

This data set is a compilation of solar irradiance data that were collected during the PAPI cruises 1 through 6 in the Delaware Estuary from Aug. 2009 to Nov. 2013. Data were obtained to support photobiological and photochemical experiments.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Data were collected with a deck mounted NIST-calibrated Optronics OL754 spectroradiometer with a cosine collector. Solar irradiance data were collected at 1 nm intervals from 290 to 600 nm. The Optronic’s quartz sensor was mounted on top of one of the laboratory vans near the aft end in an unshaded section of the ship’s deck. The controller, monochromator and other part were contained within a temperature controlled van.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

No data processing was done with the data set.

BCO-DMO Processing:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- renamed parameters to BCO-DMO standard
- reformated date from m/d/yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd
- replaced blank cells with nd
- replaced blanks within cells with underscores
- reformatted time, weather, and wavelength data from rows to columns

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Spectroradiometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/304/

Generic Description:

A Spectroradiometer or Spectraradiometer is an instrument that measures the intensity and nature of electromagnetic radiation. An ocean color radiometer makes the measurements in a manner optimized for the determination of ocean chlorophyll concentration.
