   PI:              Diane Stoecker
   of:              Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
   dataset:         Sarcodine counts and carbon biomass, 30 liter samples
   dates:           October 02, 1992 to October 21, 1992
   location:        N: 0.0348  S: 0.001  W: -140.053  E: -139.9532
   project/cruise:  EqPac/TT012 - Fall Time Series
   ship:            Thomas Thompson
 
   PI-Notes:
   Samples obtained from 30 liter Go-Flo bottles, 26 liters of water filtered
   through a modified Buchner funnel with 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

GO-FLO Bottle

Supplied Name: Go-flo Bottle

Supplied Description:

30 liter Go-Flo bottles were used to collect water samples.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: GO-FLO Bottle

Acronym: GO-FLO

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/30/

Generic Description:

GO-FLO bottle cast used to collect water samples for pigment, nutrient, plankton, etc. The GO-FLO sampling bottle is specially designed to avoid sample contamination at the surface, internal spring contamination, loss of sample on deck (internal seals), and exchange of water from different depths.
