Summary
| Description | This dataset includes physical, chemical, optical and ocean color measurements, and still photography data collected during the Operation Deep Scope cruise, also known as Bioluminescence Cruise. The cruise was sponsored by the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration. Temperature, salinity, and bioluminescence species data were obtained by the shipboard underway sensor system and the CTD mounted on the submarine JOHNSON SEA-LINK I. Optical characteristics data were obtained by a variety of laboratory analyzes. The Operation Deep Scope cruise collected different data for several separate researches. The data were based on the measurement and characteristics of the light, both from the sun and bioluminescence, which was found in these ecosystems. Light has been described as the most powerful selective force in evolutionary history. Understanding how animals have adapted to the light in their environments -- to see and be seen (or not be seen) -- will provide new insight into the nature of life |
