Fluorometer Data, Southern Vancouver Island (Pacific), 2004-2014

Fluorometer Data, Southern Vancouver Island (Pacific), 2004-2014 A chlorophyll fluorescence time series was collected at various locations around the coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada for monitoring phytoplankton concentrations. A Wetlabs ECO fluorometer was deployed every few months on a schedule depending on season and sensor availability. The instrument hung by a chain attached to the side of the buoy, or dock, depending on location, and measured chlorophyll using the fluorescence emission at 695nm. The instrument also measured turbidity by detecting the scattered light at 700nm. The units had internal batteries and data storage and were programmed to make a group of 5 measurements every 30 minutes. A copper wiper covered the sampling window between groups of measurements to reduce fouling. Times are in UTC unless otherwise stated. 2021-05-31 Fisheries and Oceans Canada DFO.PAC.SCI.IOSData-DonneesISO.SCI.PAC.MPO@dfo-mpo.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyPacific OceanBritish ColumbiaVancouver IslandChlorophyllFluorescence EmissionChlorophyll Fluorescence Time SeriesPhytoplanktonTurbidityScattered LightTemperatureOceanographyScientific researchBiology La Perouse (2004, 07, 09) - Chlorophyll FluorescenceCSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Fluorometer_Data_Southern_Vancouver_Island_2004_2014/2004-2009_La_Perouse_Combined.zip Data DictionaryPDF https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Fluorometer_Data_Southern_Vancouver_Island_2004_2014/Data_dictionary_EN_FR_Fluorometer_Data_SVI_2004-2014.pdf Saanich Inlet (2004, 09, 10, 11) - Chlorophyll FluorescenceCSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Fluorometer_Data_Southern_Vancouver_Island_2004_2014/2004-2011_Saanich_Inlet_Combined.zip Egmont (2010, 11, 12, 14) - Chlorophyll FluorescenceCSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Fluorometer_Data_Southern_Vancouver_Island_2004_2014/2010-2014_Egmont_Combined.zip Saanich Inlet (Patricia Bay) 2011 - Chlorophyll FluorescenceCSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Fluorometer_Data_Southern_Vancouver_Island_2004_2014/2011_Saanich_Inlet_Pat_Bay_Combined.zip Halibut Bank (2011-2014) - Chlorophyll FluorescenceCSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Fluorometer_Data_Southern_Vancouver_Island_2004_2014/2011-2014_Halibut_Bank_Combined.zip Saanich Inlet (8m) 2011 - Chlorophyll FluorescenceCSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Fluorometer_Data_Southern_Vancouver_Island_2004_2014/2011_Saanich_Inlet_8m_Combined.zip Fluorometer Sites - South Vancouver IslandESRI REST https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/FGP/Fluorometer_Data_Southern_Vancouver_Island_2004_2014/MapServer/0 Fluorometer Sites - South Vancouver IslandESRI REST https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/FGP/Fluorometer_Data_Southern_Vancouver_Island_2004_2014/MapServer/0
