Abstract

Diffuse attenuation coefficient (Kd) for light in reef water of Great Lameshur Bay. These data describe how light is attenuated with depth in seawater in Lameshur Bay, with the coefficient calculated using standard procedures constrain (as described in the ms) by using surface light instead of immediately sub surface For a complete list of measurements, refer to the supplemental document 'Field_names.pdf', and a full dataset description is included in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: http://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/739882
