Abstract
This csv dataset contains diffuse attenuation coefficients (units: m-1) from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Kd(490) product. The values are from the nearest corresponding pixels from the fifteen study sites associated with visited by projects ANT-1744550, -1744570, -1744584, and -1744602 during ARSV Laurence M. Gould cruise LMG 19-04 in April and May 2019. These attenuation coefficients were generated by the NOAA CoastWatch/OceanWatch program. They are remote sensing estimates of diffuse attenuation coefficients at a 490 nm wavelength in for approximately 4x4 km cells using the algorithm described in (Wang et al., 2017). The dataset includes January-February-March (JFM), October-November-December (OND) as well as October to March averages for each site. OND averages are not available for all sites and therefore are not included in the October-March averages. An indication of the distance from the site to the nearest pixel with a Kd(490) observation is noted. Wang, M., X. Liu, L. Jiang, and S. Son. 2017.
