AIMS Water Quality Chlorophyll and Turbidity Time-series Data

The Reef Plan Marine Monitoring Program (MMP) at AIMS monitors inshore water quality of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). This includes the deployment of sensors at fixed coral reef sites along the GBR since 2007, with some additional sites added near river mouths since 2015. Continuous in situ measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence and turbidity are performed at these inshore sites using WET Labs ECO FLNTUSB Combination Fluorometer and Turbidity Sensors. \n\nThe sensors are deployed for periods of approximately 4 month duration before recovery, when another instrument is deployed in its place. The time series data is uploaded upon recovery. The instruments have calibration checks performed and battery changes in-house, as well as servicing on a regular basis.

澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（AIMS）的珊瑚礁计划海洋监测项目（MMP）负责监测大堡礁（GBR）的近岸水质。这包括自2007年起在GBR沿线的固定珊瑚礁站点部署传感器，2015年起又在河口附近增设了部分站点。在这些近岸站点，使用WET Labs ECO FLNTUSB组合式荧光计与浊度传感器对叶绿素荧光和浊度进行连续原位（in situ）测量。

传感器的部署周期约为4个月，回收后会在原位置部署另一台仪器。时间序列数据在回收后上传。仪器会在内部进行校准检查和电池更换，并定期维护。
