Refining Techniques for High-Frequency Monitoring of Chlorophyll in the NERRS - NERRS/NSC(NERRS Science Collaborative)

Description

Twelve biogeochemically diverse reserves participated in a one -year study to standardize protocols for calibration and data management using both chlorophyll methods (extractions and in situ sensor readings) at various frequencies. Given technician experiences with preliminary sensor deployments and results from previous studies, one objective of this project was to identify possible sensor interferences and develop standardized empirical correction procedures. Another objective of this project was to test how well extracted CHL-A (micrograms/L) could be predicted from the suite of YSI EXO sensors. While there is value in the YSI EXO Total Algae (TAL) sensor's relative fluorescence units (RFU) for short-term or single-site chlorophyll measurements, reliable predictions of extracted CHL-A (micrograms/L) would provide a standard measure to compare among sites and with historic data.
