   PI:              Diane Stoecker
   of:              Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
   dataset:         Sarcodine counts and carbon biomass, large volume water samples
   dates:           August 10, 1992 to September 13, 1992
   location:        N: 12.005  S: -11.9683  W: -140.5917  E: -134.9817
   project/cruise:  EqPac/TT011 - Fall Survey
   ship:            Thomas Thompson
 
   PI-Notes:
   Samples obtained by filtering 37 to 55.5 liters of water from Niskin bottles
   using a modified Buchner funnel with a 20 um nitex mesh screen.  Samples
   were preserved with 20% buffered formalin.  Strontium chloride was added
   to aid with acantharian preservation.  Samples stored in dark and
   refrigerated.

Instruments

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name: Niskin Bottle

Supplied Description:

CTD clean rosette (Niskin) bottles were used to collect water samples.

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.
