The Biological Physical Optical cruise was carried out aboard RV POLARBJORN during April and May 1989 as part of the Coordinated Eastern Arctic Experiment (CEAREX). The data base from the cruise consists of 6 separate files, in ASCII character format: STADB.DAT the database of each station; DEPTHDB.DAT the database of all bottle samples; ZOOPLKT.DAT the database of the zooplankton sampling; BIOLUM1.DAT the database of bioluminescence profiles; BIOLUM2.DAT the database of bioluminescence values at 10-meter intervals; and PROFK.DAT the database of optics profiles. A description of each data file, including variable names, formats, and a brief description of each variable, is given in Section 1. 2 of this documentation file. Each description includes the name of the investigator who provided the data and identifies the section of this document where the methods and/or references for the variables are described.
