| title: | Laser Optical Plankton Counter measurements from AUV mission 2014.108.02 |
| institution: | Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute |
| summary: | These data have been processed from the original lopc.bin file produced by the LOPC instrument. The data in this file are to be considered as simple time series data only and are as close to the original data as possible. Further processing is required to turn the data into a time series of profiles. |
