Baltic sea UVP5 image data set (July 2017)

The Underwater Vision Profiler (UVP) was used int he Baltic sea during the Aranda cruise in July 2017 in the frame of JERICONEXT to quantify the vertical distribution of macroscopic particles >100µm and plankton > 700 μm in size (incuding large cynaobacterial filaments). The smaller size limit is fixed by optical resolution, whereas the larger size limit is determined by the volume of water illuminated per image. Images are recorded at a frequency up to 20 Hz and the recorded volume per image is 1.02 L.
