Particle Size Distribution from a LISST 100-X instrument for three transect cruises across the North Pacific Ocean

Particle size distribution data (numbers per liter per micrometer) over 32 logarithmically-spaced size bins from a Laser In-Situ Scattering and Transmissometry sensor, LISST 100X Type B (Sequoia Scientific). Data are from three transect cruises in the North Pacific funded by the Simons Foundation (Gradients 1, 2, and 3). Cruises transited approximately along 158W, and between 21N and 42N. LISST data was processed using spherical kernel inversion and corrected for background particle concentrations as in White et al (2015):
