PRR-800
PRR-800 High Resolution Profiling Reflectance Radiometer

The PRR-800 High Resolution Profiling Reflectance Radiometer is a water-based profiling radiometer manufactured by Biospherical Instruments, Inc. It collects profile measurements of underwater radiance and irradiance for ocean color research. It operates across the 340-900 nm spectral range at a bandwidth of 10 nm. The PRR-800 has a depth range of 350 m and a maximum data rate of 15 Hz.
