Abstract :
Bioluminescent intensities were measured August 30th-September 4th, 2004 in the Gulf of Maine with the HIDEX III Bathyphotometer. Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis and complex empirical orthogonal function (CEOF) analysis were applied to these data sets in order to determine a unique excitation response for each species of bioluminescent organism encountered in the data sets. Using the results of the analysis, a filter was designed for real-time identification of dinoflagellates.
