  PI:              William Balch
  dataset:         Underway fluorescence measurements along ship track
  project/cruise:  Arabian Sea/TTN-049 - Process Cruise 4   
  ship:            Thomas Thompson

PI-Notes:
 The underway fluorescence data were logged every minute using Sharon
 Smith's Turner Designs fluorometer plumbed to the ship's SAIL system.
 The data were manually calibrated to discreet surface chlorophyll
 measurements in segments determined by the times of fluorometer
 cleanings, as well as any changes in water mass that might have
 affected the calibration.  Quality control consisted of range checks
 and removal of any readings which were obviously bubble-contaminated.
