Description

All the log sheets from all the 1m2 MOC tows from each NBPalmer cruise have been scanned into pdfs. These are an important addition for getting the full picture on the MOC tows and also those data sets that are based on the tows.

Each file includes note from the 'flyer', the screen capture of the depth, salinity and temperature plots, the statistics from each tow with averages, and the very valuable first look at net contents.

Instruments

MOCNESS

Supplied Description:

The MOCNESS-1 plankton sampler has nine rectangular nets (1m x 1.4 m) with a mesh size of 0.333 mm, which are opened and closed sequentially by commands through conducting cable from the surface (Wiebe et al., 1976).

Instrument Type

Generic Name: MOCNESS

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/NETT0097/

Generic Description:

The Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System or MOCNESS is a family of net systems based on the Tucker Trawl principle. There are currently 8 different sizes of MOCNESS in existence which are designed for capture of different size ranges of zooplankton and micro-nekton Each system is designated according to the size of the net mouth opening and in two cases, the number of nets it carries. The original MOCNESS (Wiebe et al, 1976) was a redesigned and improved version of a system described by Frost and McCrone (1974).(from MOCNESS manual) This designation is used when the specific type of MOCNESS (number and size of nets) was not specified by the contributing investigator.
