Organisms studied

Methods:	A Hydrolab surveyor 4 and datsonde 4 multiprobe were used to measure: depth, temperature, pH, specific conductivity, dissolved oxygen (mg/l), in-vivo fluorescence, and Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) at half meter intervals. The in vivo fluorescence measurements were taken using a Turner designs SCUFA® (Self-Contained Underwater Fluorescence Apparatus) attached to the Hydrolab datasonde 4. The PAR measurements at both the surface and at each depth were taken using flat-faced, "cosine-corrected" Licor underwater quantum sensors attached to the datasonde 4. Secchi depth was measured using 22-cm disk. Notes: The Hydrolab was calibrated weekly for Oxygen, using the Barometer in the Surveyor 4. Conductivity, and pH were also calibrated weekly using commercial standards. Because of the low conductivity of the waters around Toolik the potassium chloride (KCl) concentration in the reference electrode was changed weekly prior to calibration. Sampling Description. None
