Investigation of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectrum features correlation with the sea water cases

LIF spectroscopy is now widely used for measuring of the chlorophyll a concentration in the sea water. The investigations for the phytoplankton community condition monitoring (estimation of the photosynthetic activity of the phytoplankton cells) were carried out by LIF method during last years. In our measurements we used a laser fluorometer to measure the laser-induced chlorophyll fluorescence. The laser fluorometer allowed us to measure LIF spectra from the moving ship.
