This cruise took place between Sept 9, 2008 and Sept 23, 2008, in the Santa Barbara Channel, off of Santa Barbara, Ca. On this cruise we measured both the upwelling and downwelling spectral polarized radiance distribution, the downwelling sky spectral polarized radiance distribution, and the Aerosol optical depth. The aerosol optical depth is available through the NASA Aeronet MAN data set (links through aeronet.gsfc.nasa.gov) and will be available on this web page soon. The in-water radiance distribution data will be available through the link to the right on radiance distribution in the ocean.

The sky radiance distribution is available here and is listed by day, with a link to that days web page.

With this link is a description of the data according to the cloud cover in the images. These are defined as:

Excellent =<2% cloud cover or no clouds
Good < 15% cloud cover
Average = 16-50% cloud cover
Bad >50% cloud cover
