Description

Total column ozone measured measured during DANCE cruise HRS1414 aboard the R/V Hugh R. Sharp from July to August 2014 on the offshore Mid-Atlantic Bight and northern South-Atlantic Bight between latitudes 31.60°N and 38.89°N and longitudes 71.09°W and 75.16°W. Sampling procedures and methods are found in Martins et al. 2016.

Instruments

Eppley Longwave Radiometer

Supplied Name: Eppley PIR

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Eppley Longwave Radiometer

Acronym: Eppley PIR

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0083/

Generic Description:

The Eppley Precision Infrared Radiometer (PIR) pyrgeometer measures longwave (infrared) radiation. It is housed in a weatherproof titanium canister that has been painted with a very flat black paint that absorbs radiation. A small glass dome at the top of the instrument is covered with an 'interference coating' which allows only infrared radiation to come through. Light levels are detected as temperature changes creating voltages in fine wire coil detectors. more from Eppley Labs

Precipitation Gauge

Supplied Name: R.M. Young 50202

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Precipitation Gauge

Acronym: PrecipGauge

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/381/

Generic Description:

measures rain or snow precipitation

Precision Spectral Pyranometer

Supplied Name: Eppley PSP

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Precision Spectral Pyranometer

Acronym: Eppley PSP

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/112/

Generic Description:

This radiometer measures sun and sky irradiance in the range of wavelengths 0.285 to 2.8 microns, including most of the solar spectrum. The PSP is intended to weight the energy flux in all wavelengths equally. It is a "hemispheric receiver" intended to approximate the
cosine response for oblique rays. The Eppley Precision Spectral Pyranometer (PSP) is primarily used where high accuracy is required or where it is used to calibrate other pyranometers. The PSP outputs a low level voltage ranging from 0 to a maximum of about 12mV depending on sensor calibration and radiation level. An instruction manual provided by Eppley contains the sensor calibration constant and serial number. The Precision Spectral Pyranometer is a World Meteorological Organization First Class Radiometer and comes with a calibration certificate traceable to the World Radiation Reference and a temperature compensation curve. More information is available from Eppley Labs.

Radiometer

Supplied Name: Metcon 2-pi radiometer

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

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.

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB20/

Generic Description:

An instrument used to measure the relative absorption of electromagnetic radiation of different wavelengths in the near infra-red, visible and ultraviolet wavebands by samples.
