"Throughout the realm there shall be the same yard of the same size and it should be of iron chlorophyll a”
Assize of Measures (1196)Relevance:- Quality & standardization of data (product) collected by IMOS- Inferences for product uptake, delivery and use by wider community

Chlorophyll a• Chl a provides a standard ‘proxy’ measure of phytoplankton
biomass (µg/L or mg/m3)
• Variety of applications;- ecology (e.g. spatial distribution patterns),- biophysical couplings, - primary production, - water quality and trophic status (e.g. ANZECC)

In situ fluorometers• In situ fluorometers: many types on many platforms• Share common measurement principles:
- chl a is ubiquitous to phytoplankton and has fluorescent properties- intensity of emitted in vivo fluorescence is linearly proportional to [chl a] - detected intensity output is in raw analog (v) or digital (rfu) units
• Require calibration with a chl a standard to convert output into standard concentration units (µg/L or mg/m3)

(Simple) Calibration Procedure• Requires measurement of in vivo fluorescence and extracted [chl a]
for a dilution series of phytoplankton
- Chaetoecurus meulleri(diatom), log growth phase
- dark room @ 15oC- 2L triplicate samples ,
0.7 µm Whatman GFF, extracted in acetone
- [chl a] by flurometry, Synergy4 fluorometer, Sigma chl a standards

Recommendations• Objective: To calibrate in situ fluorometers
to provide a standard, traceable measure of [chl a].
1. Calibration of fluorometers with chl a from culture/s to convert raw output into standard concentration units (µg/L) - consensus on culture/s to be used (inter/national collaboration)
- facility with culture and analytical lab capabilities- calibration over ecologically/regionally relevant range of [chl a] (accuracy &
precision)
2. Establish relation between [chl a] from culture/s and fluorescent dye to optimize calibration procedure
3. Regional/local optimization of calibrated fluorometer measures against extracted [chl a] from water samples- consensus HPLC & or fluorometry based- further supported using pigments/microscopy/flow cytometry- will take time to build sufficient data set
