Description: Conduct an experiment to examine the relationship between solar zenith angle and the diffuse attenuation coefficient, and test the prototype of the new tethered buoy fiber-optics configuration. Multiple MicroPro profiles were conducted during the morning through local noon to study the possible relationship between solar zenith angle and the diffuse attenuation coefficient. Bulk pigment water samples were collected concurrent with the MicroPro profiles, and these water samples were analyzed for pigment concentrations with both the fluorometric and HPLC methods. Testing of the new tethered buoy fiber-optics configuration was successful. |
