HIDEX-BP Calibrations

Abstract

My research objectives involve determining how low light phenomena, both bioluminescence and solar radiation below 200 meters, influence the distribution and behavior of marine organisms. The objective was to develop a portable calibration source which can replace the 14C-phosphor standard originally designed for the calibration of the High Intake Defined Excitation Bathyphotometers (HIDEX-BP) (Widder et al., 1993). Because of restrictions on the transport of radioactive material, the Naval Oceanographic Office requires a non-radioactive standard that can be used to test calibration in the field.
