What vertical resolution do you get from the fluorometer?

The fluorometer is sampled at the full 100 Hz rate so resolution at 10 cm/sec is 1 mm.

Over what length scale is the fluorometer useful?

The fluorometer has internal electronic noise.  In addition, the measured signal is 'noisy' since responsive material tends to enter the measurement volume on a random basis.  Previous customers have filtered the data, removing much electronic noise and also giving a more stable estimate of responsive material.   However, this filtering results in a length scale below which measured features disappear.  The length scale depends upon the filtering used, which depends upon the signal and the customer's needs.  It should be noted that, absent electronic noise, the unsteady nature of the measurement contains useful information about the physical environment.  No one has yet identified how this might be analyzed to produce a useful result!

Q: Where is the Fmeter measurement made relative to the other sensors?

The answer here is complex and unknown.  The Fmeter draws in fluid as SCAMP travels through the water column.  The measurement volume is displaced from the sensors by tens of centimeters so there is a lag between sensor measurements and Fmeter measurements while water moves from the sensor location to the Fmeter location as SCAMP travels along.  In addition,  the flow of water through the measurement volume isn't known.  Since the measurement is made of water that enters the measurement volume, the exact point of the measurement relative to external water is unclear.  However, previous SCAMP measurements have shown good correlation between qualitative Fmeter features and thermal gradients over meter lengths giving support to a general correlation of Fmeter and sensors in the 1 meter range.
