Abstract

Phytoplankton blooms are considered to be an indicator of eutrophication. The area of Southampton Water, UK, has been documented as experiencing yearly algal blooms in both spring and summer. In order to better understand the dynamics of bloom formation an instrumented buoy has been built. The instruments monitor chlorophyll fluorescence, light attenuation, photosynthetically active radiation levels, conductivity, and water temperature. The buoy was deployed between the 4th of April 1996 and the 8th of July 1996, sampling at an interval of 15 minutes.
