Instrument Description:

A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used to measure parameters of fluorescence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. The instrument is designed to measure the amount of stimulated electromagnetic radiation produced by pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted into a water sample or in situ.

PI supplied instrument name: Turner Designs C3 fluorometer
Dataset-specific description

Data collected on a G5 WaveGlider. Data are essentially raw, no processing other than calibration applied. Turner Designs C3 fluorometer equipped to measure chlorophyll fluorescence (460 nm ex/696 nm em; reported in fluorescence units), turbidity (850 nm ex./850 em.; units= NTU; Nephelometric Turbidity Units), and colored dissolved organic material (CDOM ; 325 nm ex/410-600 nm em.). Sensors were calibrated by Liquid Robotics (chl fluorescence = 1.0119 mg ml-1 Basic Blue 3; turbidity= 3000 NTU turbidity standard) as per Turner Designs recommendation.
