CRUISE NAME:   FC - 1   CRUISE DATES:   15 May 05
 
SHIP:   R/V Klaus Wyrtki   SHIP HOME PORT:   University of Hawaii
 
CRUISE LOCATION:   5 mi offshore from Honolulu Harbor sea buoy
 
CHIEF SCIENTIST:   Chris Kinkade


PARTICIPANTS:
 
  Chris Kinkade QSS / NOAA 15 May  


PURPOSE OF CRUISE:
 
 
  Intercomparison of field fluorometers and perform chlorophyll extraction experiment.
 
 
CRUISE SUMMARY:
 
  Both emission and excitation filters for the two field fluorometers were scanned on a PerkinElmer Lambda45 spectrometer.  Differences between the two sets of filters account for the observed 15% offset between the two fluorometers.  Standards used for the intercomparison of the two fluorometers were from Sigma and Turner.

No significant differences were observed in chlorophyll concentrations between filter extraction times of one to five days.
