Depth-integrated euphausiid (Family Euphausiidae) backscatter in June and July
2008
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/245.B62-003

Summary
This dataset includes the nautical area scattering coefficient (sA, m2 nmi-2)
for euphausiids between 16 m below the sea surface and 0.5 m above the
seafloor in 0.5 nmi intervals (averaging distance along the survey transect).
The latitude, longitude, and vessel log distance values represent the starting
location for each interval along the transect. sA is proportional to biomass
of euphausiids, but these data have not yet been scaled to biomass units.
