Equatorial JGOFS, WE Pacific, FR 05/92: Primary production dataset (1992)

This dataset contains the photosynthetic paramters determined experimentally from Productivity vs Light intensity experients (P vs E experiments), and primary production calculated using these parameters, collected on Franklin voyage FR 05/92, a part of the JGOFS study - Inorganic and Organic Carbon Cycles in Equatorial Waters. The voyage took place in the Solomon Sea, the Western Equatorial Pacific Ocean, Bismarck and Coral Seas during 15 June - 13 July 1992. This dataset is archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the cruise report for this voyage and/or the references.

Explanation

Primary production:

Carbon fixation in the P vs I curves: At chlorophyll levels

less than about 0.04 µg l-1 the expected P vs I response

was often not consistent, especially in surface samples.

Curve fitting: curves not showing photoinhibition were

classifed as not able to be fitted if the standard error of the

parameters exceeded 30%. Curves showing

photoinhibition were classified as not be able to be fitted if

the standard error from the fitting exceeded 40%.

Pigments (chlorophyll a):

Analytical coefficient of variation of 2%. Detection limits for

all pigments between 0.005 and 0.01 µg l-1.

Coefficient of variation (including research vessel sampling and over all pigments) estimated as 17%.
