| Description | ill.; Typescript (photocopy); Thesis (M.S.)--Oregon State University, 1988 The concentration of chlorophyll in natural bodies of water is commonly determined as a means to rapidly estimate the phytoplankton biomass. The literature gives numerous warnings, however, as to the problems involved with accurately determining chlorophyll concentrations. The author's work at Crater Lake, Oregon enticed him to explore critically the spectrometric methods for determining chlorophyll. Four spectrometric methods for the determination of chlorophyll have been investigated. These...
