Description

Physical and optical data from 3 wave-powered profiling moorings (WireWalkers) (.mat files)

Data are collected onboard the profilers. Those data were collected by a CTD with additional channels. The data are provided as vectors (upcast only). The .idx field indicates the start and end of each individual profile. The channels are, as follows:

Upcast only time series:
T = Temperature, degrees C (Seabird 49 CTD or Seabird 52 for ww_esp)
P = Pressure, meters (Seabird 49 CTD or Seabird 52 for ww_esp)
time = Time (matlab datenum format)
C = conductivity (milliSiemens per meter) (Seabird 49 CTD or Seabird 52 for ww_esp)
S = salinity (PSU) (Seabird 49 CTD or Seabird 52 for ww_esp)
F_chla = Chlorophyll fluorescence (Relative Fluorescence Units) (Turner Designs Cyclops 7 chlorophyll fluorometer)

or  for ww_esp:
C3_chla: Chlorophyll fluorescence (Relative Fluorescence Units) (Turner Designs C3 fluorometer)
C3_cdom: Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Material (Relative Fluorescence Units) (Turner Designs C3 fluorometer)
C3_turb: Turbidity (Relative Fluorescence Units) (Turner Designs C3 fluorometer)
