Maintenance Description
Log of Changes:	Log of changes: 1. A Turner 111 fluorometer was used from 1975-1991. 2. A Turner 450 Fluorometer using a NB 440 filter was used starting in 1992- 1994. 3. A Turner 450 Fluorometer using a NB 430 filter was used starting in 1995 until 1998. 4. Starting in 1998 a Turner Designs 10-Au -005 -CE configured with a chlorophyll optical kit: photomultiplier tube 185 - 870; lamp daylight white, F25T5, 400-600 nm; excitation filter 340-500 nm round bandpass 5-60; emission filter >665 nm round sharpcut 2-64; reference filter 400-700 nm square 1 ND,was used to measure chlorophyll. 5. In 2002 and 2003 comparsions were made using both Whatman GFC filters (1.2um) and GFF filters (0.7um). Additional information about this comparison can be obtained by contacting the Arctic Lakes RA, C. Crockett. 6. In 2003 samples were acidified to determine pheophytin concentration. Data presented here represents raw chlorophyll, but post acidification values can be obtained by contacting the Arctic Lakes RA, C. Crockett.

Organisms studied

Methods:	Water samples are collected at the epi and metalimnion in the I series lakes, where applicable. Samples are collected in 2-L brown Nalgene bottles and returned to the lab within 2 hours. Water is filtered through a 47 mm Whatman GF/C (1.2um) glass fiber filter. Filters are placed in 10 ml of buffered 90% acetone (1 mg/l MgCO-3), and extracted in the dark, at room temperature for 24 hours. Chlorophyll a was determined using a Turner Designs 10-Au -005 -CE configured with a chlorophyll optical kit (10-037R). This kit is used for the traditional in-vivo measurement of chlorophyll (Lorenzen) and in-vivo /extractive acidification methods, including Strickland and Parsons, and Standard Methods for Water and Waste Water and EPA 445. Notes: The Turner Designs 10-Au -005 -CE fluorometer was calibrated using two chlorophyll a standards of known concentrations obtained from Turner Designs. Each time samples were run the Turner Designs 10-AU fluorometer solid standard was also run. Reference Citations: R.G. Wetzel & G.E. Likens. 1979. Limnological Methods. Saunders. Philadelphia.
