Oceanic Photosynthetically Available Radiation (PAR) Measured during the JGOFS Equatorial Pacific Process Study (EQPAC)

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The Equatorial Pacific Process Study (EQPAC) was conducted along 140 deg W longitude during 1992.

Description

Four cruises took place: February 3 - March 9, March 19 - April 15, August 5 - September 18, and September 24 - October 21. A fifth benthic cruise and sediment trap legs were added.

During the first cruise (TT007), 15 stations were occupied along 140 deg W longitude from 12 deg N latitude to 12 deg S latitude. During the second cruise (TT008), data were collected at 8 stations along 140 deg W longitude from 9 deg S latitude to 9 deg N latitude. During the third cruise (TT011), data were collected at 15 stations along 140 deg W from 12 deg N latitude to 12 deg S latitude.

During the fourth cruise (TT012), data were collected at 5 stations along 140 deg W longitude from 17 deg S latitude to the equator. Incident photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) was measured on three of the four cruises (TT007, TT008 and TT011). Daily totals are reported.
