Surface PAR data
Photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) in the air was measured with a PUV-510B (Biospherical Instruments, Inc.) radiometer. The saved data are one-minute averages. The instrument was positioned on an anti-roll platform to prevent interference from the shadows of structures on the ship. The data are arranged in one MS Excel file for each cruise.
