Biodiversity Survey of the Cape - Mapping Dissolved Organic Carbon sources and cycling in aquatic biodiversity hotspots across South Africa's Greater Cape Floristic Region

Description

This dataset includes the spectral (absorption and fluorescence) characteristics of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) coincident with field measurements of hyperspectral water remote sensing reflectance for improved remote sensing algorithm development. Samples were collected within three ecologically distinct but socio-economically vital bays surrounding South Africa's Greater Cape Floristic Region: St Helena Bay, Walker Bay, and Algoa Bay. Data from this and other elements of the BioSCape project can be found via the earthdata portal https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search?q=bioscape&fpj=BioSCape.
