2Background: phycoerythrin
• Chemotaxonomic pigment– Synechococcus spp.– Cryptophytes– Myrionecta rubra**
• Measured using Fluoromtry– Autofluorescent: fluorometers designed with filter sets to
specifically measure the presence of phycoerythrin
– Turbidity & temperature are two sources of bias of in situ fluorometric measurements

1. Data Selection: - winter only- all 3 depths- chlorophyll < 2 ug/L- turbidity < 625 NTU
2. Data Binned & Averaged- 1 NTU turbidity bins - data within mean +/- 3 s.d. averaged
3. Curve Fitted- several evaluated- simplest selected: - Exponential rise to maximum:

16Comparison of Turbidity Corrections
17Conclusions
• The turbidity corrections need to be periodically evaluated for changes and updated accordingly
• With correction, the phycoerythrin data display a clear pattern corresponding to Chlorophyll
• These data clearly identified the onset of the 2010 M. rubra bloom
• With field samples a calibration to cell abundance should be possible
18Discussion Topics: where do we go from here?
• Are the corrected data useful?
- Can they be used to monitor the onset & development of M. rubra blooms in the CRE?
• How do we validate these signals?
- field sampling sampling
- monitoring sensor drift
