©2026 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This dataset contains the depth-resolved large particle signal calculated at the Ocean Observations Initiative (OOI) Global Irminger Sea Array (59.97°N, 39.51°W) from September 2014 to July 2022. Optical backscatter was measured using a dual-channel Sea Bird ECO sensor on the wire-following profiler (170-2600 m; profile every 20 hours). Optical backscatter is used to determine backscatter spikes that are attributed to large particles, following the approach of Briggs et al. (2020). The large par...

The data presented here were collected by the Ocean Observatories Initiative at their Irminger Sea Array. Backscatter measurements are from the wire following profiler (WFP, DOI: 10.58046/OOI-GI02HYPM). The WFP (~170-2600 m) collects a profile every 20 hours with a vertical sampling resolution of 2.3 ± 0.15 dbar.
