Description

This dataset includes the abundance, quantum yield, fluorescence, and chlorophyll values from three Symbiodinium genotypes that were grown at two temperatures, 26 and 30 degrees C.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Replicates of each Symbiodinium genotype were grown in ambient (26 degrees) and elevated (30 degrees) temperatures, after which were measured physiological parameters, including the number of cells, quantum yield, variable fluorescence, and chlorophyll content.

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing notes:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
- reduced decimal precision of NumberCells to 0

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Fluorometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/113/

Generic 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.
