  dataset:         Underway fluorescence measurements along ship track
  project/cruise:  Arabian Sea/TTN-053 - Process Cruise 6   
  ship:            Thomas Thompson

PI-Notes:

 The underway fluorescence data were recorded about every four minutes
 using a Turner 111 fluorometer equipped with a flow-through door and
 our own underway logging system.  The instrument was shut down while
 on station.  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.
