SIPEX_II_Transmissometer
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
This dataset contains Ffilter samples of known volume of sea water for
- PIC (Particulate Inorganic Carbon)
- POC (Particulate Organic Carbon)
- BGSi (BioGenic Silicon)
The dataset also contains transmissometer data.
The transmissometer is an attempt at developing a correlation between the PIC filter samples and the transmissometer readings. This is development of methods.
The data collection times are logged in the file and filter log sheets.
