- Abstract:
- The basis for calculating primary productivity from fast repetition rate fluorescence will be experimentally examined. A FRR fluorometer will be modified for use in shallow (< 5 m deep) waters. The photosynthesis rates calculated using the modified and conventional instruments will be compared with each other and With direct measurements of net and gross oxygen evolution and C-14 production in conjunction with supporting measurements including pigment composition, light absorption, and reaction centre II abundance. The performance of the modified FRR fluorometer will be compared with that of the conventional instrument in deployments in the English Channel and Estwaite Water. Productivity calculated using the modified ERR fluorometer will be compared with productivity estimated from diel in situ oxygen cycles.
