California Current Ecosystem LTER

Photosynthetically Active Radiation (Process Cruise)

Title
Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) at depths from 0 to 100 meters, expressed as percentage of surface PAR, measured aboard CCE LTER process cruises in the California current, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Abstract
Photosynthetically active radiation designates the spectral range (wave band) of solar radiation from 400 to 700 nanometers that photosynthetic organisms are able to use in the process of photosynthesis. Daily values at depths from 0 to 100 meters, expressed as percentage of surface PAR were produced for days during three CCE LTER process cruises in the California Current region in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
