glidertools.optics.fluorescence_dark_count

glidertools.optics.fluorescence_dark_count(flr, depth, percentile=5)

Calculates an in situ dark count from the fluorescence sensor.

The in situ dark count for the fluorescence sensor is calculated from the user-defined percentile between 300 and 400m.

Parameters:

flr (numpy.ndarray or pandas.Series) – The fluorescence array after factory calibration.
depth (numpy.ndarray or pandas.Series) – The depth array in metres.

Returns:

flr – The fluorescence data corrected for the in situ dark value.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray or pandas.Series
