The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Sciences and Technology (JAMSTEC) sponsored this research cruise - a circumnavigation of the Southern hemisphere using the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Hydrographic Program (WHP) lines in the southern hemisphere to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its establishment. The research cruise was named "BEAGLE 2003" (Blue EArth GLobal Expedition 2003) and was carried out on the RV MIRAI. This is a subset of the Beagle 2003 data set and contains the HPLC pigment and particulate absorption coefficient data collected on leg 5, between Cape Town, South Africa and Fremantle, Australia from the 11 Dec 2003 to 20 Jan 2004. The data can be used for Ocean Colour sensor validation. Parameters measured on the leg are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and the absorption coefficent for particulate (a/p) components of the water column. Samples were collected at 43 stations. The data was used primarily to validate ocean colour sensors MERIS, MODIS and SeaWIFs and the SST sensor AATSR. Samples were collected and analysed for pigments and absorption coefficient, particulate.
