Marine Analysis Using a Rapid Scanning Multichannel Fluorometer.
Abstract
The use of a rapid scanning multichannel fluorometer capable of ship-board operation is described. The advantages of multichannel detection with an intensified linear photodiode array are discussed in reference to the continuous monitoring of oceanic phytoplankton populations by their in vivo fluorescence. The utility of the excitation-emission matrix (EEM) for fingerprinting marine algae is presented along with preliminary data acquired from unialgalcultures. Experimental data acquired at San Diego Bay, California in December '83 is presented to illustrate the utility of the instrumentation. Keywords include: Portable Fluorometer, Fluorescence Analysis, Marine Analysis, Fluorescence Spectrometer, Diode Array Detection, Chlorophyll Fluorescence.
