Description

Net community production and respiration rates


 dates:           15 June 2004 to 05 August 2004  (20040615-20040805) 
 location:        N: 32.660  S: 30.498  W: -65.760  E: -59.607 
 project/cruise:  EDDIES/OC404-1 2004 Survey 1 and OC404-4 2004 Survey 2
 platform:        R/V Oceanus
 
 
 Methodology

 
 Change history: YYMMDD
   071024: downloaded original data from EDDIES data web site;
            added to OCB database by Cyndy Chandler, BCO-DMO
 
 DMO Note: the experimental data from which these rates were calculated
           are available from this database as O2 evolution data
 
 PI note: There were no surface values for sta OC404-1 15 and 65, so 
          depth-int values were computed by extrapolating to the surface.

Instruments

Light-Dark Bottle

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Light-Dark Bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/82/

Generic Description:

The light/dark bottle is a way of measuring primary production by comparing before and after concentrations of dissolved oxygen.

Bottles containing seawater samples with phytoplankton are incubated for a predetermined period of time under light and dark conditions. Incubation is preferably carried out in situ, at the depth from which the samples were collected. Alternatively, the light and dark bottles are incubated in a water trough on deck, and neutral density filters are used to approximate the light conditions at the collection depth.

Rates of net and gross photosynthesis and respiration can be determined from measurements of dissolved oxygen concentration in the sample bottles.

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name: Niskin Bottle

Supplied Description:

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.
