Burrard Inlet Coloured Dissolved Organic Matter Deployed 2024-02-06

The Turner Cyclops-7 Fluorometer (S/N 21180253) was deployed on 2024-02-06 at Burrard Inlet. Burrard Inlet is a coastal fjord in southwestern British Columbia. This device is a Coloured Dissolved Organic Matter. Coloured Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM), or Chromophoric, is a component of dissolved organic matter (DOM) that is measured optically. CDOM fluorometers measure the intensity and wavelength distribution of an emission spectrum after excitation by a particular spectrum of light. These parameters detect the amount of CDOM, because it absorbs short wavelengths ranging from blue to ultraviolet. It was deployed on a fixed platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.
