MESO-SCOPE cruise, Hyperpro Profiles

The Satlantic (now Seabird) HyperPro is an in-situ free-fall profiling unit designed to measure the apparent optical properties of the ocean with concurrent measurements of temperature, salinity, chlorophyll and dissolved matter fluorescence, and optical backscattering (a proxy for total particle load). The unit is equipped with one up-looking and one down-looking hyperspectral (350-800nm) radiometer with 10 ± 0.3 nm resolution, a WET Labs ECO-Puck Triplet, and temperature, pressure, and conductivity sensors. It also incorporates a ship-mounted surface (air) hyperspectral radiometer.  These data are collated from the vertical profiles conducted during the MESO-SCOPE cruise in the north Pacific Ocean.
