Biologically Relevant Radiation (Bentham spectroradiometer data, Rothera)

Data is managed in the Biological Science Data and Resource Centre. The Data is stored in an Oracle database. Data are stored in four pairs of Oracle tables.

One member of each pair holds the spectral data while the other member holds all the meta-data concerned with each scan. The four pairs hold reference data (calibration lamp irradiance values, action spectra, spectral response functions etc.), wavelength calibration data, irradiance calibration data and measurements of spectral irradiance. The tables are owned by u_hp and are called: spec_ref_data, spec_ref_info, spec_wlcal_data,spec_wlcal_info, spec_ircal_data, spec_ircal_info, spec_measurements, spec_measurements_info.

In August 2001 the spectroradiometer was destroyed by a laboratory fire. A new instrument was installed in February 2003. These data are stored in the oracle tables new_spec_wlcal_data, new_spec_wlcal_info, new_spec_ircal_data, new_spec_ircal_info, new_spec_measurements, new_spec_measurements_info.

As the exact day of the data collection was not provided, and the metadata standard requires a YYYY-MM-DD for mat, this dataset has been dated as 1st February.
