Dataset description

SOIREE Underway flourescence, FRFF (Fv/Fm)
Includes values for surface PAR obtained from Mark Gall
The data are sampled at the times when the Fv/Fm was measured

The data are presented in a raw, uncalibrated form.
Missing data are marked by "nd".

Acquisition description

See SOIREE Preliminary Voyage Report
See comments in dataset description as well

A Chelsea instruments CTD/Fluorometer was mounted in a chamber that was supplied with
flow-through sea-water. From this instrument Temperature and Fluorescence were logged.
A Chelsea Instruments Fasttracka FRRF was used to record phytoplankton photosynthetic
competency (Fv/Fm).

BCO-DMO Edits
- Parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention
- date reformatted to YYYYMMDD
- time reformatted to HHMM
- Note: Some times with 59 seconds truncated when fmtted for BCO-DCO
- 'NaN' changed to 'nd'
- data values padded to 2 decimal places
- lat/lon merged from ship's track data
