Underway fluoresence sampling from the western Eastern Indian Ocean Upwelling region on the R/V Roger Ravelle in January March 2022 (BLOOFINZ cruise). Scope of the dataset is to understand the impact of the negative IOD, the anomalous warming of this region and reduced upwelling, on the community structure of phytoplankton and productivity of the Eastern Indian Ocean Upwelling Zone (EEIOUZ). As we had posited in the SCTR, that weaker upwelling in the western Equatorial Indian Ocean due to the...

When the instrument is used for underway sampling, the ALF is connected to the ship’s uncontaminated seawater flow-through system allowing for continuous measurements in water drawn from approximately 5m below the surface
The Automatic Laser Fluorometric Analyzer (ALFA) is a state-of-the-art instrument, that combines high-resolution spectral measurements of blue (405 nm) and green (532 nm) laser-stimulated fluorescence, with spectral deconvolution techniques to estimate CDOM, phytoplankton variable fluorescence (Fv/Fm), Chl a and three types of phycobiliprotein pigments.
