Total Chlorophyll a for I series inlets and outlets during the summer of 1999 , Arctic LTER 1999.

Water samples were collected at 0, 1, 3, 5, 8, 12, and 16-meter depths in 
the monitoring lakes and 0 meters in the survey lakes.  The water was returned 
to the lab where it was filtered through a 47 mm Whatman GF/C glass fiber 
filter. The filters were then placed in 10 ml of buffered 90% acetone (1 mg/l 
MgCO-3), and extracted in the dark, at room temperature for 24 hours.  The amount 
of chlorophyll a was determined using a Turner Designs 10-Au -005 -CE configured 
with a chlorophyll optical kit

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.
