Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Water column chlorophyll samples were size-fractionated using a 'fractionation cascade' . Water passed through a sequential arrangement of three filters: 20 um pore-size polycarbonate (47 mm), 5 um pore-size polycarbonate (47 mm) and 0.7 um effective pore-size glass fiber (25 mm). Preliminary tests showed that 47-mm glass fiber filters had a reduced chlorophyll extraction efficiency compared with filters 25 mm in diameter. Filters were immediately placed in 90% acetone, extracted 24 hr (-20degC, darkness), and analyzed for chlorophyll and phaeopigments a on a Turner TD700 (April, May) or Turner 112 (July) fluorometer. Total chlorophyll concentrations were estimated from the sum of the three size fractions.

Instruments

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name: Niskin Bottle

Supplied Description:

Niskin bottle cast, use Bottle_Niskin

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Niskin bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0412/

Generic Description:

A Niskin bottle (a next generation water sampler based on the Nansen bottle) is a cylindrical, non-metallic water collection device with stoppers at both ends. The bottles can be attached individually on a hydrowire or deployed in 12, 24, or 36 bottle Rosette systems mounted on a frame and combined with a CTD. Niskin bottles are used to collect discrete water samples for a range of measurements including pigments, nutrients, plankton, etc.
