Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

   Methods reported in:
 
   Peltzer, Edward T. (1993).  Shipboard determination of total organic carbon by
     a high temperature combustion/direct injection technique.  U.S. Joint Global
     Ocean Flux Study - Equatorial Pacific Protocols, 1993, section 21A.
 
   The EqPac methods were followed explicity on the Arabian Sea Process cruises
     with two exceptions:
 
        1. For Process cruises 1, 2 and 4, the WHOI custom built HTC/DI-TOC
           analyzer was used.  For Process cruises 6 and 7, the BBSR custom
           built HTC/DI-TOC analyzer was used.
 
        2. Low carbon water (LCW) prepared using a commercial Milli-Q UV/TOC (R)
           system was used to measure the instrument blank as opposed to the
           carbon free distilled water (CFDW) that was used in EqPac.  For all
           legs, the LCW was assigned a background TOC value of 0 uMC.

Instruments

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name: Niskin Bottle

Supplied Description:

CTD/Niskin Rosette bottles.

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.
